IBEX35 sails bearish

The Iberian spread closed yesterday down -1.30% marking the milestone of 1 month in decline. The best performing company was Repsol (BME:REP) which climbed +1.65% ending at 15.13 at the close. Merlin Properties SA (BME:MRL) closed up +0.48% at 10.50 and Sacyr (BME:SCYR) was up $0.42 at 3.34. The worst performers were Enagas (BME:ENAG) with -9.29% closing at 12.79, Acciona (BME:ANA) -6.55% at 105.60, ACS Actividades de Construcción y Servicios (BME:ACS) with -4.19% closing at 38.44. In short, the falling stocks outperformed the rising ones on the Madrid Stock Exchange.

Today, tourism data is published, which is expected to be positive for Spain in the summer season with 12% compared to the previous 8.3%, and industrial production data in several euro zone countries, including Spain, which is expected to be slightly worse. For the euro zone as a whole, things are not looking very different.

Focusing the eye on the chart, IBEX35 has formed an area of strong resistance at 11,384.44 points and the area of 11,159.06 is the second area of strong resistance, a possible Shoulder - Head - Shoulder figure has been generated, and seeing the monthly trend and economic data, it would not be unusual to see that the index seeks again this second area of resistance and plummets towards the lows of 10,837.43 points. On the other hand the shape of the bell is not overly clear given that it has a triple formation with the most traded price at the checkpoint at 11,326 points. And its second control price zones are located at the current price. The RSI is overbought at 60% so it would not be unusual to see a correction. In principle, it seems that the trading area for this summer can be framed between the first strong resistance and the area of lows.
