Analysis overview

The analysis focuses on the CAC 40 Index using Elliott Wave Theory on a daily chart, identifying a bearish trend. The market is currently in an impulsive mode, reflecting strong downward momentum.

The primary wave structure under observation is gray wave 3, which began after the completion of gray wave 2. This marks the continuation of the bearish movement.
