TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The Ibex closes clearly far from the maximums of the session, but in reality we have more of the same. That is, a narrow short-term lateral movement with support at 9,500 and resistance at 9,700 points. And until the price does not jump on either side we will have no clue about the meaning of the next short-term tranche, "explains José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamania.
"The really important thing is that since August we have increasing minimums and maximums and so it does not fall. While it is true that we have a support at 9,500 points there is another somewhat lower and more relevant: the upward gap of 9,468 points," nuances
"Since it hasn't closed in a relevant reference, we understand that the current corrective phase fits absolutely within the normal parameters," concludes the expert.
