TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
The "downward drip from the highs of last week (9,332) continues and falls are nearing 2%" explains José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.com. Correction that, on the other hand, "fits within the normal parameters". Why? Because the previous rises were 5%. Now, "what I like the most is the accuracy of the resistance level where the Ibex was stopped", at 9,330-9,335 points.
"There we have an important resistance and, above, the 9,410 points (weekly bearish hollow)" adds the expert. So if in the short term we saw the index close above the 9.335 points "we could say that this would be giving shape to an inverted 'head and shoulders', a figure that would send it, at least, up to the annual highs ( 9,588) ".
If it makes a previous stop "in the very strong intermediate resistances from the daily and weekly downturn at 9,410 points, or in other words, a close above 9,410 points this would, in theory, be a clear and strong signal of strength". The truth is that the sensations "are not bad, just the opposite". Especially due to the fact that the correction "stopped at the level of adjustment / recession between 50% and 61.8% of the previous upward momentum", he concludes.
