TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"Calm but tense. This could define the movement on Tuesday and maybe tomorrow, too. Investors are attentive to the decision adopted by the Fed on interest rates on Wednesday, in which the market discards a decline of the price of money of 25 basis points. And the market will be attentive to the reaction of the price from the news, "said José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.

"This will be known tomorrow with the European stock exchanges closed, which makes us bet on a violent movement for Thursday's opening and, in addition, with the quadruple witch hour of this Friday. Too many events that can cause strong price strokes. But where? "he adds.

"For the moment, this Tuesday we have drilled the most immediate support (in intraday): the 9,000 points. Which somehow removes 'momentum' (cruising speed) from the important increases in recent weeks. Banks have stopped, due to declines in the European banking index, the EURO STOXX Banks (-2%) and another one of the sectors that has been one of the best performers but when the minimum of August collided with the bearish guideline it has turned us down: the automotive / automotive sector, "he says.

"That is to say, two of the great engines of the last rises have stopped. Something that on the other hand was to be expected because the European stock exchanges, as we warned in recent days, were caressing the important resistances that they present in the maximums of July. The prices were and are crying out for a break, a stop along the way In the very short term, the following supports are in the area of 8,800 points and on the side of the resistances the 9,150 points and the famous 9,410 points, "concludes the analyst.
