This blog post reviews one of several important technical developments in the Global Equity Markets.

ISHARES MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX ETF (ACWI.O)

Last week's price action did some technical damage on the charts. MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX ETF, a benchmark for global equity market performance gave back three weeks of gains in one weekly bar. The discussion on the financial networks and social media was about buying the dip. The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. 66.3 is the lower boundary of the 7 month-long trend channel for the ACWI ETF. The index rebounded from the strong support once again. Failure to hold this support level can push the price to the next support at 65.5, which is the 17 month-long upward trendline. There is no clear chart pattern forming on the MSCI ACWI ETF that would suggest a top reversal. For those who are looking for a sell signal on the ACWI, the breakdown of the trend channels should give some guidance. In case of further weakness in the global equity markets ( i.e. a breakdown on the ACWI), the weekly Global Equity Markets report featured some of the well-defined bearish chart setups in the global equities and ETFs.

South Africa equities are possibly entering into a strong uptrend with the completion of a 2 year-long sideways consolidation. Last week's price action breached the multi-year trend resistance on the South Africa All Share index and pushed the local equity benchmark to all-time highs. Breakouts from multi-year consolidations usually result in multi-month trends. 54,600 levels will remain as strong support. Possible chart pattern price target for the South Africa All Share Index stands at 63,700 levels.

LONG-TERM CHARTS & LAUNCHING PATTERNS

/0 Comments/in /by

Stock prices are either in a follow through trending phase or in a consolidation phase.

During periods of consolidation prices tend to form a recognizable chart pattern which helps us to determine the direction and magnitude of the next substantial trend with some degree of accuracy.

Because price action and chart patterns are a result of human interaction, it is possible to find those repeating chart patterns in different markets, in different time frames such as on daily, weekly and monthly scale and in different time periods.
