TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"A decreasing session on Wednesday, weighed mainly by the weakness of the banking sector, especially as a result of the words of Mario Draghi after the ECB meeting. In the past few days, we have had as a support the upward gap of a week ago at 9,360 points and as a resistance the 9,555 points, which are the annual maximums ", according to José María Rodríguez, an analyst at Bolsamanía.

"To close the aforementioned bullish gap we will not rule out a return to the support area of ​​the 9,220-9,240 points: another bullish gap (April 1 session), coinciding approximately with the base of the short-term bullish channel. We were commenting in the last sessions about the stochastic moment oscillator clearly turned downwards from overbought levels that we have, which makes it almost impossible for us to continue climbing positions in the short term, "concluded the analyst.

"All in all, the minimum and maximum increases of the last months are still there, intact, in short, in the very short term we continue to drain / adjust the previous excesses within an impeccable bull trend from the December lows."
