"If we drill the year's minimums clearly, the next objective is at 8,950-9,000 points (61.8% of the total increase from the Brexit minimums) and above, on the resistance side, yesterday's bearish gap, as long as it does not close (or what is the same is canceled) we will not have the slightest sign of strength in our selective, even in the short term, "adds the technical analyst.
