TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The Ibex starts the week practically flat, and with an eye on the support it presents in the bullish hole of last Tuesday at 9,160-9,170 points. Be careful to close this hole because we will no longer have any important support until 9,060 and below 8,900 points. And above, we already know: those "famous" 9,410 points that we have referred to so many times, "says José María Rodríguez, an analyst at Bolsamanía.
"Regarding values we highlight the new minimums of all time in Banco Sabadell and Unicaja. And Bankia, little by little also seems to have set course for the historical lows: the 1.63 euros that it marked at the end of May 2013. The banks are still extremely weak and without them it is impossible to climb / bounce more or less steadily, "he adds.
"For this Tuesday we will follow Enagásm closely, which publishes results after the 23% crash since the June highs. The title has not rebounded in the slightest and we already know those prices, even if it were to continue falling, it must experience important rebounds against trend (or reaction phases). Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that it tries to rebound, until at least the significant resistance it has in the 20.88 euros (bearish hollow of the July 8 session) " , concludes the analyst.
