TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The candle that the Ibex draws us this Thursday has implications of exhaustion of the climbs, at least as far as the short term is concerned. But otherwise everything remains the same: the control zone below is at 900-9,130 points and above (resistance) we have the range of 9,400-9-600 points, "says José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.
"Moreover, it would be said that in 200 points we have numerous resistance zones, too many. But it is true that if by a chance the Ibex close clearly above 9,400 points, then a small figure back in double would be confirmed soil with a theoretical minimum objective of approximately 9,600 points, "he adds.
"But let's not fool ourselves, this Friday's candle invites more to bet on a new movement towards supports, than to overcome resistance. And it should be very careful with drilling the 9,100 points as a round figure, since there is nothing below until 8,850 points, "concludes this expert.
