CAC 40 Could Make a New Bearish Leg

EagleFX Team EagleFX

The French index CAC 40, in its 2-hour chart, exhibits the two consecutive lows that the French index developed in the previous sessions. This sequence suggests the possibility of a new decline.

Currently, the price action shows advances in the form of a bounce from the 5,990.2 points. This penetration below the 6,000 psychological level could be indicative of potential weakness.

In this context, we must observe the reaction in the area between 6,040.4 and 6,071.2 points.

A sell-side positioning will trigger if the price of the CAC 40, in its interaction with the blue box area, closes below 6,040.4 pts. From this zone. As a conservative scenario, we expect a decline until 5,962 pts, at least. A possible bearish acceleration could drive the French index to visit the 5,880.4 pts and, even, the 5,785.6 as the final target.

Our protective stop, invalidating this bearish scenario, is located at 6,109 pts.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues.

Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.
