TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

“An average session which hinged on not getting over the 10,400 point line. It made a go of it but in the end it just fell short. It makes us think that we might be able to continue going down towards 10,250-10,260 points and who knows if it will be able to fill the daily and weekly gap of 10,129 points,” José María Rodríguez, Bolsamanía analyst said.

“Only if we are able to close above 10,400 will the doors open towards lower gap, which is at 10,570-10,80.”
