TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"Finally we closed above the resistance of the very short term of the 9,800 points and we were at the doors of the close (or what is the same to void) the hollow of the 9,890 points", celebrates José María Rodríguez, technical analyst of Bolsamania. "It is true that closing above would imply annulling the bearish hole and therefore it would be another sign of strength, but there are so many resistances that we have up to 10,050 points which is almost the least if we close or not the bearish hole of the session of July 11, "he adds.

"The feeling are not bad after the weekly closing, but as you can see in the graph we have many resistances above, and important, even the most important of all: the upper part of the triangle (about 10,050) ", says the expert.

"In addition, we have the future of the Euro Stoxx 50 overcoming resistances, the upper part of the bearish channel in recent months, while the future of Dax (which closes at 22:00) would also be showing signs of strength if it seems to close above the 12,836 points (bearish hollow of the session of June 19), "also indicates Rodriguez.

"Therefore and in summary it can be said that while it is true that our Ibex is still a little away from the first important resistance, everything points towards an attack next week. By the way, we have the S & P 500 at only 1.5% of the historical highs (2,872.87) ", concludes the technical analyst.
