Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Desk order-flow tracking shows CAC 40 (CAC) holding firm at 8,235.50 (+1.19%) following a MSS at 7,980.99, while real-money bids continue to defend value relative to the 7,759.40 equilibrium pivot.

An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (7,918.74–7,952.39) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing.
