French term

Rupture du premier support

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Unfortunately I don't really have a context, apart from it being financial. I have a list of codes and then an explanation. Sometimes the codes can help but there's nothing in this case. Other terms in this list include: "Recommendation" and "Candlestick" if these ring any bells!

first support break/penetration

or words to that effect, not necessarily in that order.

This is all to do with those clever charts that smartderrière traders and computers use to make the world financial system collapse.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS [of shares] is widely used among traders and financial professionals, but is considered by many to be pseudoscience[2] or "voodoo finance;" it receives little or no direct support from academic sources and is considered akin to "astrology." [ … ]
There are several schools of technical analysis. Adherents of different schools (for example, CANDLESTICK CHARTING, Dow Theory, and Elliott wave theory) may ignore the other approaches, yet many traders combine elements from more than one school. Technical analysts use judgment gained from experience to decide which pattern a particular instrument reflects at a given time, and what the interpretation of that pattern should be.

Support
A support level is a price level where the price tends to find support as it is going down. This means the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than BREAK THROUGH it. However, once the price has passed this level, even by a small amount, it is likely to continue dropping until it finds another support level

Sorry, but I do believe that one can give clues even when most unsure... The idea of answering only when yo are SURE... should mean none of us would ever help!!! Instinct (including mistaken) can prompt others to get on the right track... this is why I answer even if just vague clues, my clues can help colleagues to get it right even if unable to do it myself!!! I do love this try and go, this should be the gist of Kudoz, just clues until someone finds THE right one... I consider Proz as a pool of ideas, and in the end it does work
