TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
José María Rodríguez, technical analyst in Bolsamanía, points out that “despite the Thursday rises, the truth is that our European neighbours have fared better than the Ibex. Nothing new on the other side, since we know that the special weakness that our index is going through”. From the point of view of the graphs we have a problem, the numerous resistances that we have from here to 9,900. In fact we have a resistance in the last of the bearish gaps (9,738) and over we have the gap of 9,840 and the famous 9,900-9,940 points.
As we can see there are many resistances that we have to try and leave behind to get closer to the one that matters (9,900). Having said this if we only loom in the big three European indexes (Dax, Euro Stoxx 50 y Cac 40) I would say the have respected supports and want to set their path to their very own key levels. Nevertheless our index is onto something else. “In general it seems to be getting better in the European indexes, it is a whole different thing that the Ibex is capable of imitating them”, concludes the analyst.
