REVIEW

Global Equity Markets started the new year on a high note. Back to back gains pushed the iShares MSCI All Country World Index towards the upper boundary of its upward trend channel. Strong uptrend remains intact. If the year-long upward trend channel is valid, the upper boundary can act as a short-term resistance. There is no chart pattern that would suggest a trend reversal at this point.

REVIEW

Over the past few weeks I reviewed the UK FTSE 100 index. I believe it is one of the most important long-term opportunity for global equity investors. There are couple of technical developments that I really like about the UK FTSE 100 index chart. First one is that the index cleared its multi-decade long horizontal resistance and reached all-time highs. Stocks or indices that clear long-term resistances and reach all-time highs enter "uncharted territory". Uncharted territory is the path of least resistance. In other words there is no previous price level that the index would find resistance.

Since then, the index pulled back to the broken resistance which is now acting as a strong support.

REVIEW

Global Equity Markets continue to remain in a steady uptrend with the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF trending higher in a year-long trend channel. The ETF is also holding above the steep 19 month-long trend line. At this point, there is no clear chart pattern that would suggest a top reversal. Uptrend is intact with the minor support standing at 69.4 levels.

EURO STOXX BANKS PRICE INDEX

/0 Comments/in /by

During established up trends pullback to the long-term averages are considered to be low risk entry points. A widely followed trend indicator is the 200 day moving average. Price action above the 200 day moving average is recognized as an uptrend, while price trading below the 200 day (40 week) average is considered to be a downtrend. In the last quarter of 2016, the Euro Stoxx Banking index breached its long-term average on the upside what was considered to be the beginning of a possible uptrend. Since then, each pullback found support at the long-term moving average, confirming the steady uptrend. Over the past 6 months, the Euro Stoxx Banking index formed a sideways consolidation that can be identified as a symmetrical triangle.  Read More
