RECTANGLE BULLISH CONTINUATION

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 watchlist section a rectangle chart pattern that is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

SINO BIOPHARMACEUTICAL LTD (1177.HK)

Sino Biopharmaceutical Limited is an investment holding company principally engaged in the medicine products business. The stock is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 6 month-long rectangle with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 12.15 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. A daily close above 12.5 levels will confirm the breakout from the 6 month-long rectangle with the possible chart pattern price target at 14.8 levels. Please note that this is a weekly scale price chart and the last weekly candle includes two days of trading. (Data as of April 21, 2020)

The chart below highlights previous well-defined chart patterns and the breakout signals. It is a good case study to go through what I usually look for on price charts.

  • A bullish chart pattern should complete above the 200-day moving average. Likewise a bearish chart pattern should complete below the 200-day moving average. I use 200-day average as a trend filter.
  • Preferably a well-defined chart pattern should have horizontal boundary and the breakout should take place through the horizontal boundary.
  • Before the breakout takes place, the horizontal boundary should be tested several times. Several tests of chart pattern boundary suggests that the technical level is recognized by market participants.
  • Breakout should be taking place from a low volatility condition. Volatility is cyclical. Low volatility is followed by high volatility and vice versa. A low volatility condition presents itself in one of the well-defined classical chart patterns.

S&P 500 INDEX AND U.S. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (%)

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 S&P 500 Index and U.S. Unemployment Rate %.

Global economies are going through difficult times. Below I discuss a possibility. In 2011, I wrote a blog post when Global equities were recovering from the 2007-2008 financial melt-down. I analyzed the Unemployment rate with the S&P 500 Index. You can read the blog post here U.S. Unemployment Rate (%) 2011 Blog Post. Since 2011, the unemployment rate remained in a steady downtrend and reached significantly low levels. We are now seeing discussions about Global recession. I refer to my charts to understand the possibility of it taking place in current environment.

The recent sell-off on S&P 500 Index found support at 2018 minor lows (2,460). I’m weighing the possibility of a multi-month long H&S top. If such scenario taking place we are likely to spend the rest of 2020 by forming the right shoulder of the multi-month long top reversal. Stock market is always regarded as a leading indicator for economic activity. When we put the two charts together, the U.S. unemployment rate and the S&P 500 Index, a top reversal would coincide with a bottom on unemployment rate. Please note that these are monthly scale price charts and it can take several months for reversals to take place. And also please note that this is not a forecast. I view this as a possibility. As I get new evidence, I will update these charts.

FLAG AS A MEASURING PATTERN

The flag forms on a mast, a nearly vertical price movement, either up or down. The length of the mast (in points) from the preceding congestion to the point where the Flag begins to form, will be found to indicate in by far the great majority of the cases the extent of the rapid price movement which proceeds from the last reversal point in the Flag. The price projection by using this half mast technique will give us the possible price target but does not call for a reversal of trend when the price objective is met.

ISHARES MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX ETF

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 All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) as a measure of Global Equity Markets performance.

The benchmark for Global Equity Markets performance reversed from all-time highs at 81.4 levels. In the last quarter of 2019, the ACWI ETF experienced two important breakouts. One of them was clearing the horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels which completed a 2 year-long H&S continuation, the other one was to breakout above 2018 highs at 77.5 levels. Since mid-January (first news of coronavirus), the ETF has experienced sharp corrections. The first sell-off pulled the ETF towards 77.5 levels which was followed by a recovery to 81.4 levels. The rebound failed at the previous high and this time another sell-off followed, pulling the ETF back to previous resistance/support area between 74.8 and 77.5 levels.

The ACWI ETF will try to stabilize around the support area. It will be important for ACWI ETF to recover and stabilize above its 200-day average. Failure to do so can put the support at 74.8 in danger, resulting in a larger scale correction and a possible change in trend. It is important to note that the last candlestick on the weekly scale price chart includes two days of trading (Monday & Tuesday). The weekly candle can look much different by the end of the week.
