The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) remains below its 200-day average which is acting as resistance at 92.5 levels. I've been discussing the possibility of a higher low and a H&S bottom reversal. For that pattern to become better defined, the right shoulder low must be already in and price needs to rally towards the neckline around 92.7 levels. Failure to do so in the following days can resume the downtrend below the long-term average. We have a wide trading range between 81.4 and 92.5 levels.
The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) remains below its 200-day average. Breakout above 87 levels completed a short-term double bottom and the ETF reached the price target of 92.7 levels. The 200-day average acted as resistance at 93.1 levels. The ETF failed to hold above the neckline at 87 levels. There is still the possibility of a H&S bottom reversal, though not with the symmetry between shoulders. Given the weakness below 87 levels, I view the H&S bottom as a lower probability. Price can test the previous low around 81.4 levels. Downtrend is intact below the 200-day average.

Breakout above 87 levels completed a short-term double bottom with the price target of 92.7 levels. The 200-day average acted as resistance at 93.1 levels. A text-book H&S bottom reversal can develop if the index completes its pull back around 87 levels to form the possible right shoulder. Such price action will form symmetry between left and right shoulders in both time and price scale. I'm now monitoring how the ETF will perform around 87 levels; the neckline of the previous double bottom.
Mixed performance for cryptocurrencies. Sharp reversal on BTCUSD reminds us the bearish outlook once again. Some of the altcoins managed to offer short-term uptrends while others continued to remain rangebound.

Are you familiar with those candlestick patterns? Candlestick patterns at well-defined support & resistance areas can offer great insight and can become part of a successful trading strategy.
