The levels to monitor in Europe
The levels to monitor in the case of the Ibex 35 are in the September lows, at 11,138 pointsand the support level to which consolidation could take the index in the worst case scenario is that of 10,900/11,000 pointswhich is where it runs the bullish guideline that has been guiding the increases from the 2022 lows.

You also have to monitor the behavior of the Dax 40 as one of the selective ones that can give clues to the market about where investors can move in the coming weeks. The German index threatens to confirm a bearish pattern in the form of head and shoulders which would open the door to an additional 4% drop. This pattern would be confirmed if it loses the 18,900 points that, for the moment, are resisting the bearish advance, but which were already tested in Tuesday’s session.
