The Greek market, which has been on an uninterrupted rally of 35% since the lows of last October, is very close to the next milestone, any breach of which will unlock the road to 1,550.

It is reasonable, of course, within this upward trend that buyers will make some stops in order to catch their breath and consolidate the strong gains. Therefore, the current stagnation in no way reverses the potential positive momentum.

More specifically, in the first session of the week, the General Index is down a subtle 0.16% to 1,481.64 points, losing about 2.5 points compared to Friday's close (1,484.06 points).
