The CAC 40 has closed the week moderately higher, after being rejected yesterday from its 200 Day SMA (Simple Moving Average) at 4,454.00. Of the 40 listed stocks Karing shares have had the biggest gain on the session, closing up 6.19%. Going into next week’s trading, traders may again look for the Index to challenge resistance at the 200 period SMA. However if price fails to break out above 4,454.00, it opens up the Index to decline back towards the July 2016 swing low at 4,060.00.
