El escenario técnico en el que se mueven las principales bolsas de Europa y EEUU permite a quienes tengan clara la hoja de ruta para operar con los mercados estar cómodos con la situación actual. El mercado es alcista y lo más probable es que siga subiendo, siempre y cuando no se pierdan los soportes que desde elEconomista.es se han venido identificando en las últimas semanas. Se trata de los 5.800 puntos del EuroStoxx 50, 6.800 del S&P 500 en Wall Street y los 17.650 puntos del Ibex 35, que son los mínimos de la semana anterior. Así lo afirma Joan cabrero, analista técnico y estratega de elEconomista.es en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de Mercado, mientras relata que las bolsas han rebotado desde esas zonas. "El mercado es alcista, está consolidando y mientras no se pierdan soportes, vamos a estar tranquilos, vamos a confiar en que podamos seguir subiendo, en el que el rally de la IA que comenzó en los mínimos de abril pueda continuar", señala el experto En ese sentido, la superación de resistencias sería vital para que el rally de la IA continúe. "Hay que mirar al principal índice tecnológico, el Nasdaq 100, y fijarse en los 26.180 enteros. Si se supera, tendremos continuidad de ese rally", señala. Por abajo, el soporte del Nasdaq se encuentra en los mínimos de noviembre, en los 23.850 puntos correspondientes a un ajuste del 23,6% de Fibonacci de todo el tramo iniciado desde los mínimos de abril, que si se pierde confirmaría que el principal selectivo tecnológico estaría perdiendo su media de 200 sesiones y confirmaría un patrón de giro bajista en forma de doble techo. "Si eso ocurre, sí tendríamos caídas mínimas de un 10%, y además ya conocen el dicho, sabemos cuándo empieza una corrección pero no cuándo termina" En Europa, el Eurostoxx 50 es el selectivo que más fortaleza ha mostrado en las últimas sesiones y no el soporte que debemos vigilar es el que presenta en los 5.800 puntos. "De hecho, se ha quedado pero lejos de ahí. Por tanto, de momento, Europa, quien tenga bolsa europea, tranquilidad y a seguir disfrutando", afirma Cabrero Tres valores a vigilar esta semanaThales y Rheinmetall -esta última, un zafiro azul- son los valores que más han destacado en la semana. Ambas, llevan meses consolidando posiciones de forma lateral. Cuando eso ocurre, hay que preguntarse cuál es la tendencia anterior a ese lateral y como en este caso es alcista, los manuales de análisis técnico apuntan a que lo más probable es que se resuelva a favor de la tendencia anterior. "Ahora mismo están en la mitad de los laterales. Podemos pensar que estamos en tierra de nadie, pero yo creo que con este riesgo geopolítico están más para comprar y dudo que puedan volver a mínimos del año. Nos guste o no nos guste, hay que tener en cartera compañías de defensa", afirma Cabrero. Otro de los valores más destacados por su comportamiento técnico en la semana es Alphabet, la matriz de Google, que ha corregido el 23,6% de Fibonacci de todo el rally de la IA que nació a comienzos de abril. Este rally llevó al título de los 141 a los 350 dólares -un alza del 150%-. "El primer soporte a vigilar en un valor alcista y fuerte como este se encuentra en los 300 dólares. Ahí, si no la tienen en cartera, iniciaría compras y si corrige el 38.2,% de FIbonacci, pongan órdenes de compra para aumentar posiciones, en los 271 dólares", señala.

Los vaivenes de las bolsas en las últimas sesiones y el hecho de que algunos indicadores técnicos ya reflejen de manera vehemente que selectivos como el Ibex 35 están cotizando con una sobrecompra elevada, favorecen que el foco del mercado se haya situado en las últimas sesiones en los niveles de soporte que el mercado debe mantener para no emitir las primeras señales de alerta.Entre ellos destacan los 5.800 puntos del EuroStoxx 50, 6.800 del S&P 500 en Wall Street y los 17.650 puntos del Ibex 35. Su perforación sería la primera señal que emitiría el mercado de que se puede ver una vuelta a los mínimos de noviembre, que son, de manera generalizada los que hay que vigilar con mayor precisión, porque su perforación implicaría un descenso superior al 10%.Así lo explica Joan Cabrero, analista técnico y estratega de elEconomista.es, quien eso sí, destaca que esta vuelta a esos niveles de hace tres meses supondría en algunos casos una oportunidad"Si se pierden esos primeros niveles y Europa se dirige hacia los mínimos de noviembre -hasta los 5.480 puntos-, el susto se convertiría en oportunidad, yo recomendaría comprar con una visión de medio plazo", destaca el experto en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de mercadoEn Estados Unidos, la situación es diferente, porque perder esos mínimos de noviembre, sería un signo de debilidad. "Si se pierden esos niveles en Wall Street, ojito, el mercado norteamericano va a caer un 10%, ese es el riesgo que se abre si se pierden soportes intermedios, como los 6.800 puntos del S&P 500, yo empezaría a hacer el acordeón", destaca Cabrero.Es decir, en Wall Street hay que vigilar que no se pierdan de manera conjunta esos 6.800 puntos del S&P y los 25.000 del Nasdaq; y si se perforan esos soportes, pensar en una vuelta a los mínimos de noviembre, que si caen también, abrirían la puerta a caídas de otro 10% adicional.El caso de ArcelorMittalEntre los valores preferidos para los inversores en las últimas sesiones, destaca ArcelorMittal, en el que la estrategia pasa por proteger lo ganado tras un ascenso vertical. "Arcelor va a seguir subiendo, lo tenemos claro, pero no hay que perder la perspectiva con una firma que en abril estaba cotizando cerca de los 20 euros, y ahora ha tocado los 56,5 euros, es decir, que ha vivido un tramo alcista de un 180% de subida vertical sin ningún tipo de descanso intermedio de calado", expresa Cabrero.La idea es reducir parcialmente la exposición al valor. No vender completamente, sino recoger beneficios parciales porque seguramente vaya a necesitar una temporada para aliviar la sobrecompra. "Si podemos evitar en parte una caída de su acción a 42,70 euros, que sería un ajuste de 38% del tramo alcista anterior (de 20,50 a 56,50), podríamos recomprar en una situación que ofrezca una ecuación rentabilidad-riesgo mucho más atractiva que la actual", señala el experto.
