GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – October 8, 2022

REVIEW

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 90.6 levels. So much volatility around the support at 81.4 levels. Gap up above the horizontal level was reversed with a gap down. The ETF managed to stay above 81.4 levels for 2 days and was followed by a renewed weakness below the support. Downtrend is intact. Until I see a clean bullish reversal chart pattern, I am not acting on the long side of the price action on this ETF. Price target stands at 72 levels.

REVIEW

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 91.2 levels. Breakdown below 81.4 levels was with a gap opening. If the range between 81.4 and 92.7 levels act as bearish rectangle, price target for the downtrend will stand at 72 levels. 81.4 level becomes the new resistance. Recovery above 81.4 levels can result in a failed breakdown. So far the ETF didn't have the momentum for a counter-trend move to fill the gap. If it is a breakaway gap, it might not get filled.

Chart patterns do not form frequently on price charts. If you find yourself looking for a chart pattern on a specific chart of your interest, pause for a second and remind yourself that the longer you search for a pattern the higher the chances that you will see some sort of a pattern that actually is not a valid pattern.

How do we overcome this "over-analysis"? We set certain criteria before we even start looking for chart patterns. Read More

Live questions from Members

  1. India has been in a sideways movement for a year. I know you've featured a bunch of names from here. Do you see this EM as an outlier of strength amongst most EMs? 48:45
  2. I have been looking at the crypto ticker XLM/USD and XLM/BTC. It seems to be setting up a strong bottom. 49:39
  3. I see you use MetaStock. Is there any specific reason? 51:08 (LINK for MetaStock)
  4. Do you only trade the chart patterns? Do you wait for the confirmation for the price close? What do you do when closing diminishes the Risk reward relationship? 52:14
  5. Would you be able to give me a stop loss (as you would use) for your India positions? 53:20
  6. Can you go over the breakout setup in NOC? 55:06 (LINK ATR TRAILING STOP-LOSS) 
  7. How important is EEM nowadays? Isn't it mostly made up of China tech? Isn't it better to look at individual EM ETFs rather than EEM? 57:05
  8. In your weekly report for some index or stocks, you are using DEMA200 or DSMA200. It's a bit confusing which one to use. 57:43
  9. Yen had a crazy day today. 58:03
  10. Your thoughts on the continuing strength of the U S Dollar & its effect globally? 58:05
  11. Could you give us your view on EWZ (brazil) and also an update on NIKKEI? It looks like a bull trap confirmed above the rectangle breakout. 59:38
  12. Can you summarize any charts that look bullish? Everything seems bearish. 01:01:43
  13. Can you please chart BBBY on daily? Is that a falling wedge from 8/17 to the present day? 01:02:08
  14. How do you trade Turkey ETF? On a USD or at a TRY base? 01:03:51
  15. On the BBBY monthly, is that a double bottom? 01:05:15

REVIEW

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 92.3 levels. I've been discussing the possibility of a higher low and a H&S bottom reversal. With right shoulder becoming more and more extended towards the low at 81.4 levels, the probability of a H&S bottom has reduced.   We have a wide trading range between 81.4 and 92.3 levels. Chart pattern is possibly morphing. Short-term support is at 81.4 levels.

I'm seeing better defined setups in altcoins than BTC and ETH in the cryptocurrencies. Those altcoins can offer breakouts/breakdowns that can offer trend periods in the coming weeks. In this report we review those setups and the levels for breakouts. Read More

REVIEW

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.
