TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"The corrective candle with which we started the week does not have any implications whatsoever, it simply moves us away from the important resistance zone of 9,410 points, the weekly bearish hole at the beginning of the month. Over the last few sessions, as long as this gap does not close the trading bias will continue to be lateral-bearish, "said Bolsamanía analyst José María Rodríguez.

"As each week passes is clearer that the corrective scenario (reaction phase) is proportional to the significant increases accumulated since the end of December, now we can only look at the support we have at the lows of last week, the 9,025 points ", Add.

"If there is a clear loss in closing prices, we can continue betting on a fall to the area of ​​8,950 points (50% retracement) and even 8,800 points (61.8% adjustment / retracement of Fibonacci.) Or what is the same, everything that happens within the range between 9,025 points and 9,410 points will have no technical implications whatsoever ", concluded the analyst.
