TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

For José María Rodríguez, analyst of Bolsamanía, this has been a "good closing in the Ibex that places us close to 10,100 points, on the threshold of the significant resistance to which we have referred for weeks at 10,210 points, the weekly bearish hollow of early February. "

"The danger would come if the index swung downward with force from the area of ​​10,200 points, because it could be said that we have simply bounced back to fill the gap," he adds. "But the important thing is that this is closed, or what is the same is canceled", qualifies.

"Among the great values ​​we highlight Friday the strength (en bloc) of the financial sector and Inditex, and unlike the last few weeks, Telefónica is showing signs of weakness, most likely as a result of the crisis that is being experienced in Argentina, where its currency (the Argentine peso) has devalued close to 10% in the last sessions, "says the expert.

"As for Wall Street we have again all its indexes holding the rate above the respective MM200. It is true that there are already three occasions on which they have relied on the same (S&P 500 and Dow Jones Transport) but In summary, Wall Street continues (at the moment) well supported, "Rodríguez concludes.
