GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 23, 2020

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trading below its 200-day moving average that is acting as resistance at 71.7 levels. The ETF recovered 62% of the decline that started in February. Last one month’s price action can be identified as a rising channel. Price can remain inside the trend channel. There is a gap opening between 69.2 and 67.8 levels which can be filled during a possible pullback.

Note: We have received many requests for the possibility to have the report in PDF format. Going forward I will attach a PDF version of the report for our members who would like to read on paper and also offline. Due to large size (given that I like to keep charts in large format) this is the best layout I could put the report. I hope this will be useful.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – MAY 23, 2020

The benchmark for the Emerging Markets performance, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) was another price chart that resumed its rebound from oversold conditions. The ETF is in a downtrend below its 200-day average. A short-term consolidation might be developing on the daily scale price chart. Unlike the ACWI ETF, the rebound on EEM was weak, recovering almost 50% of the Jan-Mar sell-off. Similar to ACWI ETF, last one months price action can be identified as a rising trend channel. Due to weakness in Chinese equities EEM pulled back to the lower boundary of the rising trend channel. Strong resistance area is between 39.2 and 39.7.

The benchmark for the Frontier equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI Frontier 100 ETF, is trying to form a trend channel above the support at 21.5 levels. Price is still far from the 200-day average which is at 26.3 levels. Please note that this ETF when compared with ACWI and EEM had the weakest rebound from the lows.

China SSE 50 Index found resistance at the 200-day average which is now at 2,855 levels. The index had a steady rise over the past one month and now might be consolidating those gains. The long-term support for China SSE 50 Index is at 2,465 levels. Compared to Global benchmarks, SSE50 Index remained relatively stable in a range. A new trading range can form between 2,675 and 2,855 levels. There is no clear chart pattern development on daily and weekly scale price charts.

FXI, the Ishares China Large CAP ETF listed on the NYSE has been trading in a range between 37.85 and 46 levels. In March the ETF experienced a sharp sell-off following Global markets weakness. The rebound was sharp. If we see FXI holding inside the channel in the following weeks I will treat this as a positive sign and expect the new trading range to become 37.85-46. Failure to hold inside the channel (rectangle) can result in a re-test of March lows.

Long-term chart of Euro Stoxx 50 broke down a decade-long upward sloping trend line. The index experienced a weak rebound from the lows, recovering almost 50% of the decline. Bottom reversals can’t continue with a steep angle like this. If Euro Stoxx is forming a bottom, it should form with a retests (double bottom) or some sort of a higher low (sideways consolidation). I think we are now seeing that sideways consolidation on Euro Stoxx 50 Index with the possibility of another leg higher.

European banks continue to remain weak. While many stocks managed to rebound, European banks continued to resume their downtrend. Over the past few weeks the chart formed a sideways consolidation between 48.8 and 56. Decade-long descending triangle has an unmet price objective at 36.7 levels. Past few week’s consolidation looks more like a descending triangle that can act as a bearish continuation chart pattern. In that case SX7E can reach its price objective in the following months. The daily scale price chart shows several tests of the lower boundary at 48.8 levels. It will be important to see how the index performs around the strong support level. Breakout above 56 levels can put the bearish interpretation in question and can result in a short-term positive price action for Europe banks.

Both Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 rebounded from minor lows that were formed in 2019. Nasdaq 100 has been stronger when compared with S&P 500 Index. Nasdaq 100 is now very close to its all-time highs thanks to online company performances. All-time high stands at 9,715 levels and can acts as short-term resistance. The index has been trending higher above its 200-day average and the uptrend can be identified as a possible trend channel. 200-day moving average is far from the price and forming support at 8,380 levels.

S&P 500 Index is challenging the 200-day moving average that has been acting as resistance over the past few weeks. The index formed a short-term sideways consolidation. Volatility is low. Breakout from the short-term consolidation can clear the 200-day moving average and trigger a bullish signal. It is important to note that the index has a gap between 2,913 and 2,865 levels. During any pullback the gap can be filled.

Both BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell below their long-term averages and broke down upward sloping trend lines. BSE Sensex broke down 33.3K and Nifty 50 broke down 9.9K. During the week both benchmarks found resistance at minor lows. Both indices remain weak. Both indices are in a downtrend. There is no clear chart pattern development that would suggest a bottom reversal at this stage.

Turkey’s BIST 100 equity benchmark rebounded from the strong horizontal support at 84.1K. This was the 3rd test over the past 2 years. The monthly scale chart shows a possible trend channel. Both the lower boundary of the trend channel and the horizontal support are overlapping at the same level, making it a strong technical support. The long-term trend is upwards. Last 2 year’s consolidation is offering a wide trading range between 84.1K and 123.8K levels.

The Ishares GOLD ETF continues to remain in a steady uptrend. Two major resistances are standing at 17.5 and 18.5 levels. The ETF formed a possible short-term continuation chart pattern (flag/pennant). Price cleared the upper boundary of the short-term consolidation Short-term support is at 16.15 levels.

After breaking down support at 2.48 levels and testing 1.93 levels, Copper prices had a sharp rebound. Previous support becomes the new resistance. Copper tested the strong resistance area. 2.48 and the 200-day moving average at 2.54 are forming a resistance zone. Last one month’s price action can be identified as an upward trend channel.

After breaking out of a 5 month-long rectangle continuation chart pattern, U.S. 10 Year T-Notes had a strong rally. Flight to safety (risk off) trade resulted in a rush to government bonds. Price tested the same levels for the 3rd time and reversed. Resistance stands around 140 levels. Failure to move higher can result in a trading range between 140.5 and 134.5 levels. Last 2 month’s price action can be identified as a possible ascending triangle (green boundaries). Ascending triangle has a bullish bias but we need to see a breakout as a confirmation of strength.

CBOE Volatility Index futures found support at 30 levels, a level that the index cleared during the COVID pandemic sell-off. 30 levels became the new support. Unless we see a major recovery in Global markets, VIX can remain between 30 and 70 for some time. Breakdown below 30 levels will be bullish for Global equities. Following weeks will be important to see how VIX will perform and its effect on Global equities.

The offshore Chinese yuan can devalue further if we see a breakout above 7.17 levels. I can identify 2 different H&S continuation chart patterns in the steady uptrend. The second one (most recent chart pattern development) has a horizontal boundary at 7.17 levels. Breakout can push the price towards 7.35-7.40 area.

An interesting chart pattern development that I missed over the past few weeks is discussed below. I believe it is still not too late to get on board on this long-term bullish chart pattern breakout. Endeavour Mining Corporation (Endeavour) is an intermediate gold producer. The Company is a gold mining company that operates four mines in Cote d’Ivoire (Agbaou and Ity), Burkina Faso (Karma) and Ghana (Nzema), along with project development and exploration assets. The stock is listed on Toronto Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a multi-year long rectangle as part of a possible decade-long H&S bottom. This is a very long-term chart pattern and should be given enough room with protective stops. I would view it as a long-term breakout opportunity. I added both the linear scale and logarithmic scale price charts (difference between log and linear scale price charts). Rectangle chart pattern has a possible price target of 40 and the price objective for the H&S bottom is at 55 levels.

There are 7 new breakout signals.
