"It seems that the (Fed) movement frustrated investors a lot, who expected more creative or impactful action than a simple cut in rates, which they think will not remedy supply chain problems. We have a real problem here: investors expect central bankers to become the heroes they are not meant to be, "says Ipek Ozkardeskaya, an analyst at Swissquote Bank.

IBEX ANALYSIS 35
"The Ibex closes away from the highs of the session in a very volatile day such as this Tuesday. But as we have been saying in recent days, we have to get used to this volatility because it has come to stay and that is how the market behaves after suffering a 'crash' like the one lived during the past week, "says José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.
"We still think that the rebound is small compared to the previous crash and when we talk about this we mean a price recovery movement that can last even several weeks. With its logical drops and occasional scares. And meanwhile the areas of control to monitor are in the 8,500-8,550 points as support and as resistance we have the last of the bearish holes (9,000) and 9,130 and 9,350 points as the most important resistance, "adds this expert.
"The daily oversold presents extreme readings and this is one of the reasons that lead us to continue betting on very short-term rebounds, which could mean that after this the prices can fall again towards the support area of the minimums of this Monday. If we reach that point we should be very aware of the possibility that the price may be building a market floor passes because minimums should be respected, and as always the key to everything is Wall Street, whose key support is at the minimum of last Friday, "concludes this expert.
