All the companies are leaving Catalonia and moving to Madrid and other Spanish provinces. Tourism is down almost 50%. Spaniards are boycotting Catalonian products. Their economy is in shambles.
Independence leaders are backtracking hard. They were supposed to declare independence a week ago, and now there's no declaration of independence in the foreseeable future. They are scared of going to jail for seditious activity up to 20 years.
The Catalonian far left allied with the Catalonian conservatives to hold the referendum, and now the conservatives aren't suicidal enough to declare independence, but the far left still wants it, and they are threatening with street violence if it's not declared.
Spain is just waiting for the independence leaders to make their move, whether it's not doing anything (and thus come out really weakened out of this whole scandal), or whether it's declaring independence (and getting invaded by the Spanish Army and going to jail), Spain has already won.
Earlier today, a march of nearly 1 million people in Barcelona with Spanish flags against independence happened, which further deflates the pretensions of independence.
The referendum was illegal and a farce. Spanish government didn't approve it, so of course pro-Spanish people didn't bother voting. People could vote multiple times, and you could vote even if you weren't a resident of Catalonia.
The turnout was only 42%, which means that less than 38% of people that could vote for the independence did so. That's assuming that nobody voted multiple times, so it's even less than that.

In 2015, Junts per el Si (together for the YES), which was THE coalition of independence parties, only got 39% in a REAL ELECTION
38-39% is the real number of people who want independence, so it's 60% that don't
