Conclusion


This is not the first time the market performs a rise like the one we have seen on Monday and Tuesday, we could not expect a different thing than waiting for a consolidation and then a retracement to retake the trend. Will be different this time? It is too early to say it, in my opinion, 50% retracement could be expected in the short term before another spike.
