TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The Ibex is still inside the channel and we are still in the no-man's zone, far from the key supports, such as 10,060 points above and 9,470 points below. And meanwhile we can only wait for the price, once and for all, to be decided.
Among the large securities, it is worth mentioning the supports that present some of the most important securities, such as: BBVA (5.8), Santander (4.45), Telefónica (7.16) and Inditex (28.75) . To the extent that they hold, it is possible to maintain the hope that, finally, our selective will break above the triangle.
