RECTANGLE CHART PATTERN BREAKOUTS

January 21, 2020/0 Comments/in Blog Post/by Aksel Kibar

Every week Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report features some of the well-defined, mature classical chart patterns under a lengthy watchlist and the chart pattern breakout signals that took place during that week. Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s and global equity indices. The report starts with a review section that highlights the important chart developments on global equity benchmarks. This blog post features from the breakouts section some of the text-book rectangle chart pattern breakouts. Rectangle is one of my favorite classical chart pattern. It has well-defined boundaries. It is easier to identify on price charts. Usually before the breakout takes place price has several tests of the chart pattern boundary. Breakouts after several tests of pattern boundary are usually powerful and are followed by strong trends.

A quick note for our new followers; the red lines on price charts are not provided as stop-loss levels. While they can be used as stop-loss, they are actually a subjective level for chart pattern negation. Chart pattern negation is different than a stop-loss. A stop-loss can be placed below the chart pattern boundary tighter or wider depending on your risk profile and other factors. I attached below a chart that explains each labeling on price charts.

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD (TEL)

TE Connectivity Ltd. is a technology company. The Company designs and manufactures connectivity and sensors solutions. The stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 8 month-long ascending triangle with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 97.0 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. The daily close above 100.0 levels confirmed the breakout from the 8 month-long ascending triangle with the possible chart pattern price target of 110.0 levels.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE INC (ICE)

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. is an operator of regulated exchanges, clearing houses and listings venues. The Company provides data services for commodity and financial markets. The stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 4 month-long rectangle with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 95.50 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. The daily close above 96.50 levels confirmed the breakout from the 4 month-long rectangle with the possible chart pattern price target of 101.70 levels.

BAE SYSTEMS PLC (BAES.L)

BAE Systems plc is a defense, aerospace and security company. The stock is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s and global equity indices.

This blog post features from the watchlist section an ascending triangle chart pattern opportunity, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Stepan Company was featured before as part of Breakout Alerts when the stock completed the 28 month-long rectangle. However since then, price formed another sideways consolidation above the horizontal support (upper boundary of the rectangle). The chart pattern is possibly an ascending triangle (bullish continuation) that can resume the existing uptrend.

Below you can also find a short educational video explaining how several bullish chart patterns can form during a steady uptrend.

ISHARES MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF (EEM)

December 17, 2019/0 Comments/in Blog Post/by Aksel Kibar

Every week Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report features some of the well-defined, mature classical chart patterns under a lengthy watchlist and the chart pattern breakout signals that took place during that week. Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s and global equity indices. The report starts with a review section that highlights the important chart developments on global equity benchmarks. This blog post features from the review section the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The benchmark for the Emerging Markets performance, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) rebounded from the 200-day moving average at 42 levels and reached the upper boundary of its year-long sideways consolidation at 44.4 levels. Without a breakout on China equity benchmarks the Emerging Markets ETF will not get out of the woods. Having said that this week’s price action was promising both on China equity benchmarks and EEM ETF. Price action is still showing sideways consolidation. Breakout above 44.4 levels will be very positive for Emerging Markets. The consolidation can act as a bottom reversal (double bottom) or (symmetrical triangle reversal). Data as of December 16, 2019.
