The experts of Bolsamanía warn that, if it loses this level, it would go for the minimum of the year, at 5,814 points, something they consider "probable". Above, on the resistance side, the upper part of the channel is currently passing 7,200 points, approximately.
During this week the bad technical aspect of the large Ibex values has been confirmed. Although BBVA has rebounded (today it rises another 2%) after improving its forecasts for the year thanks to the situation in Mexico and after opening the door to the payment of the dividend, both this entity, such as Santander or Telefónica, are sinking in the year and show a discouraging aspect that suggests that the falls in the Spanish index will probably continue.
IAG has also had a week of constant declines (today it falls another 1.5%) in full capital increase and while struggling not to lose the euro per share, while other large titles, such as Inditex or Repsol, have also suffered.
Next week the month will close. If things do not change substantially, the Ibex will round-up a loss for September. At the moment it falls close to 5%.
