TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamanía, explains that this Wednesday's session was very volatile at the Ibex 35, which has lost 1.4%, with a minimum of 9,506 points. Therefore, the 9,600 points are nothing. "As supports, now I have the minimums of this Wednesday and below the area of 9,430 points, where the potential bullish guideline passes that the minimums of March and May," says the expert.
"The most interesting thing of Tuesday is that we have seen two of the Ibex's major titles drill support throughout the morning and close with ease at the close of the session," he explains. In fact, Santander drilled during the day the support it had at the annual lows (4.5385) and Telefónica did the same with 7.25 euros. "But in the end, both the Cantabrian entity and the operator have clearly closed above the annual minimums. What leaves the door open to simply having attended a dilation of prices ", concludes José María Rodríguez.
