TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The Ibex closes positive this Friday. The price range in which we are moving is narrowing more and more and, for the moment, we have not drilled any support", explains José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamania.
"The 6,580 points are holding up with maximum precision. And above on the resistance side, the most important one we have at the April highs, 7,210 points," he added.
"The only thing I'm looking at in the very short term that I don't dislike is the fact that we have significant daily oversold levels on the stochastic momentum oscillator. Which means that under normal conditions we should see a rebound. Rebound that is embedded within a corrective phase of a higher degree is clear, "concludes the expert.
