Setup Rating and Analysis

9

Although the technical rating is only medium, CIF does present a nice setup opportunity. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. A pullback is taking place, which may present a nice opportunity for an entry. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 1.75. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 1.74, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for CIF in the last couple of days, which is a good sign. Another positive sign is the recent Pocket Pivot signal.
