Spanish term or phrase: se aferró con fuerza al buen tono
here's the paragraph, to give you some context:

El dato de confianza del consumidor anuló buena parte de las ganancias semanales acumuladas por las bolsas mundiales, que en muchos casos han rozado máximos anuales en
los últimos días. En Wall Street, el avance en cinco días se redujo al 0,47% en el caso del Dow Jones y al 0,13% en el Nasdaq. El Ibex, sin embargo, se aferró con fuerza al buen tono y terminó la semana, la tercera sucesiva de repuntes, con una revalorización acumulada del 2,08%.
