TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"Very quiet week, the one we just left behind, in fact, we have climbed very little (approx. 0.5%) due to the increases this Monday. We started the week with increases and leaving a bullish hole (support) at 9,328 points and the rest of the four sessions we have been deploying a narrow lateral movement, "explains José María Rodríguez, an analyst at Bolsamanía.

"That said, the loss of 'momentum' or cruising speed is clear and these things, except surprises, are corrected either with some more or less strong fall or deploying a wide lateral movement. But we must always remain within the view of a bullish channel, impeccable, short-term. Currently also the European exchanges are at annual highs and Wall Street at historical highs, "adds this expert.

"In general," Rodríguez concludes, "the technical aspect is still very good, but after a rally in the European stock exchanges of 12% in just over a month we have to be cautious, because the corrections / adjustments of these increases will come. It is necessary to correct in order to upload later. "
