Data from TradingView charts shows the S&P IPSA index closed at 8,256.55 on July 8, 2025, marking a slight decline of 0.35% from the previous session.

The market moved within a tight range throughout the day, reflecting a wait-and-see stance from local investors as global volatility remained elevated.

The daily candlestick chart reveals the IPSA has maintained an upward trend since early April, with prices holding above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.

The 200-day moving average, shown as a thick blue line, acts as a strong support level near 7,277.95. The index has not tested this level in recent months, which signals underlying market strength.

Technical indicators offer a mixed but stable picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 55.94, indicating neutral momentum and no overbought or oversold conditions.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is positive, with the MACD line above the signal line, but the histogram bars have shrunk, suggesting that bullish momentum has slowed.

Bollinger Bands show the price consolidating near the upper band, with volatility contained and no sign of a breakout or breakdown. The four-hour chart confirms the consolidation phase.

Chilean Market Pauses Amid Cautious Investor Sentiment

Prices remain above key moving averages, but the MACD histogram is flat, and the RSI hovers near 55.50. This alignment across both timeframes suggests the market is pausing after a sustained rally, with traders awaiting new catalysts.

Trading volume remains moderate, with no significant spikes to confirm a strong directional move. ETF flows into Chilean equities show little change, reflecting a cautious stance among institutional investors.

The day’s top performers and laggards reflect sector-specific moves rather than broad market trends. The biggest winners include companies in the mining and utilities sectors, which benefited from stable commodity prices and defensive positioning.

The largest losers come from consumer discretionary and financial stocks, which faced pressure from weaker-than-expected economic data and concerns about domestic demand.

Benchmarking the IPSA against regional peers, the index’s performance aligns with other Latin American markets, which also traded sideways amid global uncertainty and muted risk appetite.

The Brazilian Bovespa and Mexico’s IPC showed similar patterns, with minor fluctuations and no decisive moves. The market’s resilience rests on solid technical support and a lack of negative surprises in macroeconomic data.

However, the absence of strong buying or selling pressure signals that investors remain cautious. The charts point to a market in balance, with neither bulls nor bears in control, and technical indicators suggest further consolidation unless a new catalyst emerges.
