STILL HOLDING OUT FOR BREXIT AND THE ECB

During this week, in which results will begin to be published, Brexit will remain the main political issue. The Prime Minister, Theresa May, is still looking for a plan to ensure a delay by the European Union (EU). We recall that there is a European summit on Wednesday and that, if a decision on the extension is not taken, the United Kingdom would leave the EU without a deal this Friday.

That same Wednesday there is also European Central Bank (ECB) and what Mario Draghi says will be key especially after the measures for the banks were announced in the last meeting and try to ensure that the smaller financial entities suffer a lesser impact of the negative rates.

Throughout the week we will also talk about the trade negotiations between the US and China, which seems to progress adequately. Donald Trump announced last week that, during the next four weeks, it will be known if there is an agreement between the two powers. On the other side of the Atlantic, the main news today is the resignation of Kirstjen Nielsen, National Security Secretary of the United States.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"The red has clearly taken hold of the Ibex, although in reality it is something that was expected and that we have recently commented, and the reason is none other than the loss of momentum. The trend remains impeccably bullish, but nothing goes up without its corresponding phase of adjustment or reaction phase (either deploying a side or correcting in greater or lesser depth), "according to José María Rodríguez, analyst at Bolsamanía.

"Last week on Wednesday, we left a gap of 1% in the opening at 9,360 points, we warned of the possibility that this could be filled in the very short term, totally or partially. Now, let's see if the gap is filled or closed, if nothing is filled in here, nothing has happened, but if it closes (or what is the same thing is canceled) we will have a first sign of weakness in the very short term, "he added.

"That said, the base of the short term bullish channel, by definition support, passes at this moment by the 9,220 points and the high part of it we have in the 9,670 points. The daily overbought is very important, so let us be cautious about the shortest term, it is difficult to continue climbing positions if these readings are not relaxed before, "the analyst points out.
