Key technical factors of the article:
For about 24 hours, the international financial markets have entered a sequence of rebound, a technical recovery largely linked to the expiration day of this Friday, March 20, 2020, the "four witches" day.
For the institutional traders, it’s mainly about looking at the next monthly installment on the options market and to a lesser extent future contracts. Should the PUT options (bearish strategy on the underlying price) be cashed in or extended for the next month, or even switch the open position to CALLs (bullish strategy)?
After 40% drop in the price of CAC 40 in one month, it seems that professional and managerial traders are choosing to secure gains, to replenish the liquidity that is so sorely lacking.
In order to consider a stable technical rebound, it is necessary to observe a drop in volatility indicators. The implied and historical volatilities of several asset classes are falling after a month of sharp increases and that of the Bitcoin retreats after reaching and even exceeding its 2017/2018 record; a signal of the return of institutional investors? Too early to say.
In all cases, technical analysis highlighted strong support between $ 4,200 (upward acceleration threshold of April 2) and $ 5,000 (upward chartist trend line straddling the years 2018 and 2019).

The uptrend line mentioned is shown in the two graphs below, that in Japanese weekly candles then that in daily; it produced its bullish effect with relative precision.
Conclusion : It is not yet known that the ultimate market trough has been registered, but the technical rebound still has potential. First of all, the $ 7,000 (Kijun-sen daily, ichimloku system), $ 7,100 and $ 7,600, the latter being the threshold for dropping out of the crash session on Thursday, March 12. Invalidation of the rebound under the support at $ 5900.
