TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamanía, explains that "the Ibex closes well away from the session's highs, and does so just after bouncing / adjusting 61.8% of the previous drop, which means that the highs of this Thursday's session is an important level of resistance that probably will not be easy to overcome (9,940)."
"And above we have the MM200 daily (10,070) and of much greater relevance the maximum of May in the 10,290-10,300 points," he adds. For this reason, he says that "we should remain wary because the fact that they have not attacked the annual minimums does not mean that they can not do it later".
"Without a doubt, the fact that the minimums of last week (9,400) have slowed slightly above the annual minimums (9,327) is important, we have a first growing maximum, which leaves the door open to the future the price can draw us some figure of return ", indicates the expert.
Meanwhile, for Rodriguez, "the problem with which we are in the short term is that the most important resistance is at the origin of the fall, the 10,290 points, or what is the same, only above this we can speak of a change in trend, to bullish ".
"Based on the Santander graph, this has filled (not closed) the bearish gap on Tuesday of last week, by definition resistance, and there it has stopped in the dry, for all this and taking into account how much our index depends on banking, it is convenient to remain prudent, there is still a lot of material to be cut ", concludes the technical analyst.
