For José María Rodríguez, a technical analyst at Bolsamanía, "this Wednesday's session has no technical implications whatsoever, but even if it had risen or fallen sharply, everything would remain more or less the same."
"Because the control areas are at the annual minimums (9,327) and resistance to the bearish gap this Tuesday at 9,765 points," explains the expert. "If we drill the year's minimums clearly, the next objective is at 8,950-9,000 points (61.8% of the total increase from the Brexit minimums) and above, on the resistance side, yesterday's bearish gap, as long as it does not close (or what is the same is canceled) we will not have the slightest sign of strength in our selective, even in the short term, "adds the technical analyst.
"If we look at the European stock exchanges, we have the Dax and the Euro Stoxx 50 futures in the support zone: 12,600 and 3,380 points respectively, as long as there is no drilling there is hope (more in Europe than in our Ibex) ", concludes Rodríguez.
