"We believe that it is better to wait for the increase in the number of cases to slow down before being positive again on the markets. We know that there is an incubation period of 14 days and that the virus can be transmitted when the subject shows no symptoms. We could be on the cusp of a plateau or facing a massive escalation in the number of cases, "warn the experts from the London Capital Group.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The important rises of this Tuesday fit within the normal parameters taking into account that this Monday we fell twice what we went up today. It could be said that we are facing a simple 'pull back' to those levels that until now acted as support for a long time and can now be a resistance ", explains José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamania".
"Even if we could place ourselves above the resistance of 9,465 points, the really important thing is in the bearish hole of this Monday that could end up being weekly, at 9,562 points," he adds.
"To somehow erase the corrective candle this Monday, we need our selective close above 9,562 points, and if it can be in weekly candles better. It won't be a simple rebound with the intention to fill in totally or partially said hole." the expert concludes.
