TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
The analyst of Bolsamanía, J.M. Rodriguez, states the following: "When there are only two sessions to close 2018, our Ibex 35 drops 17% down the road, and every day that passes, it sets a new annual minimum. Europeans are going to close the year asking for the time, otherwise little more to add that we have not commented before. "
"Now we have as resistance the 8,600-8,630 points (before support) and as a support there is nothing until the minimum of Brexit, at 7,600 points.This does not mean that we have to fall for sure, we already know that prices move but experience tells us that under normal conditions we should return to the origin of the movement, at 7,580 points and, there, we would expect a strong rebound.
