TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The Ibex closes without major changes on Tuesday, keeping intact the good 'feeling' of the short term. After all, the falls of recent days have found support at the level of 9,468-9,500 points (bullish hollow of the session of December 13). So, after partially filling it out, that not closing it, the short-term 'trading' bias remains intact, "explains José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamania.
"The candle this Monday is a 'hammer' in support levels. Which means that as long as the price does not close below the minimum on Monday (9,492) we will not have any sign of weakness" nuance.
"Therefore, it is possible that what we have in front of us is neither more nor less than a small 'throw back' to the clavicular line of a potential inverted 'head and shoulders' that, if fulfilled, it would point towards the area of the 10,500 points as the objective of the theoretical minimum rise. Then, it should be said that the downward drip of the last two weeks fits absolutely within the normal parameters ", concludes the expert.
