MEETING OF THE FED
The Federal Reserve (Fed) is the main protagonist of this Wednesday. It is true that this meeting of the Fed from July to August (the meeting started yesterday and the conclusions are known today) is not particularly relevant. Neither will there be a subsequent press conference or updates of the projections of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), but there is a desire to see if the statement leaves an even more open the door to a rate hike (the third in the year) that everyone is waiting for the September meeting.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"And on the fifth day the Ibex corrected." This summarizes José María Rodríguez, technical analyst of 'Bolsamanía', the session on Wednesday, after four sessions up: "Although it is not that the balance was spectacular, everything must be said." The expert points out that the index remains without power with the resistance of 9,900 points ("we have a bearish hole filled, but not closed, at 9,980 points"). In his opinion, the falls of this session fit within what can be "a simple 'throw back' to the new support, before attacking the resistance, of the 9,800 points." Drilling the 9,800 would be a sign of weakness that can end up taking us back to 9,640 points, "he warns.
From the top, in terms of resistance, Rodríguez points out that the Ibex has the price range between 9,900 and 10,030 points. "The upper part of the potential triangle that we have been referring to in recent times passes through there, by 10,030 points," he explains. And he concludes that, only if we overcome that resistance "with ease and in closing prices (" and if it is in weekly candles, better ")," we will begin to look at our selective with different eyes ".
