TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"We have the Ibex 'sticking its head' above the most immediate resistance, the bearish guideline that joins the declining maximums of the last two months. But even when the sensations are good, we must finish the job, that is, overcome the resistance that we have at the April highs at 7,210 points, "explains José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.
"Only above this resistance will we have the confirmation of a new bullish section with a target of 8,000 points (retracement / proportional adjustment of 50% of the entire previous fall). And with this and with that we would continue talking about a rebound within a higher order corrective phase. The same cannot be said for the Dax or the S&P 500, which are much stronger than our selective, "adds this expert.
