TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"The Ibex closes asking for a break, since we have the support of 6,580 points around the corner. A lot of things have to change so that it is not attacked, with a high probability of even drilling it," explains José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamania.

"The problem we have is that our selective is much weaker and now Europe and Wall Street are taking a little breather after a rebound of more than 30% in many indexes," he added.

"We could be deeply affected by any minimum correction that occurs. In addition, the banks remain extremely weak and I do not rule out a relapse towards the annual lows of 5,800 points" , ends the expert.
