THE IBEX MOVES AWAY FROM RESISTANCES
"Session to forget this Thursday, although in fact we can say the same of the last three, where prices have closed virtually unchanged, and it seems that everything will continue this way while waiting for the two-day G20 meeting that begins this Friday, maybe a statement will come out that will cause prices to move out of this tense but relatively calm state, but where will they break? "asks José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.
"The truth is that if I look at the major European indexes (Dax, Cac and Euro Stoxx) I would say that they want to attack the resistances they have at last week's highs, but the Ibex case is different since the banks continue doing nothing except for small rebounds that are followed by stronger falls", adds this expert.
"For the time being, it is no small thing that we highlight the strength that one of the major engines of our market has switched on: Inditex, which has overcome resistances and seems to be heading towards the next resistance level, which it presents at the annual highs (27.68) ", concludes Rodríguez.
