Setup Analysis

Setup Rating

9

Besides having an excellent technical rating, CNA also presents a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 120.36. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 117.63, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. Very recently a Pocket Pivot signal was observed. This is another positive sign.

  • A Pocket Pivot is a price/volume accumulation pattern. A Pocket Pivot occurs when price moves up with volume higher than the maximum down volume registered in the previous 10 days.
