TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Despite the weekly fall that the Ibex 35 has accumulated, José María Rodríguez, technical analyst of ‘Bolsamanía’, believes that “nothing has really changed”. In his opinion, the only difference is that last Friday the Ibex closed relatively close to the top of the triangle and this closes something closer to supports than resistance. For now, the market is still waiting for the price to jump “on one side or on the other”, that is, to pierce the 9,500 points or jump above 10,000.
“The only thing to get hold of in the very short term is the possibility that banks continue to bounce in the next sessions/weeks,” says Rodriguez. In fact, the index that includes European banks, the Euro Stoxx Banks (SX7E) presents “a small figure of the back of bullish implications, which is a carbon copy of what Santander has”, explains the expert. “And if these are finally met, we can bet on a short-term recovery movement,” he adds, although he adds that the true signal of strength in the Ibex is to pulverize the 10,000 points.
