Ftse Mib in black jersey in Europe. Risks ahead?
Piazza Affari was worsted, with the Ftse Mib lagging behind its European colleagues, with a drop of 0.56% to 27,595 points, after reaching a maximum of 27,851 and a minimum of 27,589 points in the intraday.
The blue chip index practically doubled last Friday’s high, just below Thursday’s 27,876 points.
In the 27,850/27,870 area there is therefore the risk of a triple maximum which, if confirmed, will have the effect of bringing the prices back lower than the minimums seen in recent days.
The first support to monitor is that of 27,500/27,400 points, below which the descent will continue towards 27,200/27,000 points.
The abandonment of this last threshold was negative, a prelude to a continuation of sales towards 26,500 points first and 26,000 later.
The scenario just described will be denied by the Ftse Mib with a decisive break of 27,850/27,875 points, with the first landing in the 28,000 area and subsequent extension. up to 28,200 points.
With the violation of this last obstacle too, there will be room to rise towards the 28,500 area.
