TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"The Ibex is placed at the gates of the resistance it presents in the highs of last week (9,574). The only 'but' to the rise of this Tuesday is that it occurs with an important bullish gap at 9,400 points. And we already know that, in many cases, these gaps are filled (at least partially) in the following sessions, "explains José María Rodríguez, an analyst at Bolsamanía.

"For the time being, I am left with the fact that it is looking forward to it, it has clearly moved away from the danger zone and the stochastic oscillator also has significant daily oversold levels, leaving the doors open to potential rebound that brings us at least the significant resistance of 9,700 points, "adds this expert.

"But, I insist, it is necessary to close clearly above the highs of last week. As for the weight values ​​of our market, I would want to see impeccable rebound of Santander's securities after filling (not closing) the bullish gap of the results of last week maintained "concludes Rodriguez.
