TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"The narrow lateral movement of the last week continues its course. And the truth is that we can expect anything in the short term, both a return to the support area of ​​9,470-9,500 points (bullish hole) and an attack on the zone of resistance that it presents in the upper part of the bullish channel, now in the 9,900 points ", indicates José María Rodríguez, analyst of 'Bolsamanía'.

"The only thing that does not convince me in the very short term is the strong daily overbought that the oscillators throw at the moment, such as the stochastic. This, which is a very overbought level, could take a small and deserved rest," he adds.

"Either in the form of a correction or, simply, deploying a lateral movement (consuming more time than anything else). That said, the truth is that the trend has remained bullish since last August, or so indicated by the impeccable increasing minimums and maximums since then, "concludes the analyst.
