GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – July 25, 2026

/1 Comment/in /by

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trading well above its 200-day average at 146.6 levels. Breakdown below 152.6 levels can complete a short-term top and can become part of a reversion to the mean. Bearish chart pattern completions above the long-term averages are more prone to failure as they take place against the overall trend. Breach of the minor high at 158.5 can complete the symmetrical triangle on the upside and offer a long signal with the price target of 166 levels.

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trading well above its 200-day average at 146.2. The gap above 151.4 was filled during short-term weakness. Breakdown below 152.6 levels can complete a short-term top and can become part of a reversion to the mean. Bearish chart pattern completions above the long-term averages are more prone to failure as they take place against the overall trend. Breach of the high of right shoulder at 158.5 can result in a H&S top failure and offer a long signal with the price target of 166 levels.

A Framework for Classifying Chart Pattern Breakouts

Extending Peter Brandt's Last Full Day Low Rule: A Framework for Classifying Chart Pattern Breakouts

 

Introduction

Peter Brandt is widely recognized for his disciplined approach to classical chart pattern trading. While much attention is given to identifying chart patterns and measuring price objectives, Brandt places equal importance on trade management and risk control. One of the cornerstones of his methodology is the Last Full Day (LFD) Low Rule, which provides an objective reference point for managing risk immediately after a breakout.

Beyond its application as a protective stop, the Last Full Day Low can also serve as an effective tool for evaluating the quality of a breakout. By observing how price behaves relative to this level after a breakout, chart patterns can be classified into four distinct categories ranging from high-momentum breakouts to complete failures.

This article combines Brandt's original concept with a systematic breakout classification framework.

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trading well above its 200-day average at 145.7. The gap above 151.4 was filled during short-term weakness. Breakdown below 152.6 levels can complete a short-term top and can become part of a reversion to the mean. Bearish chart pattern completions above the long-term averages are more prone to failure as they take place against the overall trend. Breach of the high of right shoulder at 158.5 can result in a H&S top failure and offer a long signal with the price target of 166 levels. With the last two week's price action, I'm leaning more towards the possibility of a H&S top failure and the continuation of the existing uptrend.

The gap above 151.4 was filled during short-term weakness. This week's sell-off tested the short-term support at 152.6 levels which is the neckline of a possible short-term H&S top. Breakdown below 152.6 levels can complete a short-term top and can become part of a reversion to the mean.
