GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – April 6, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) continues to remain strong. The ETF had a strong rebound from support at 63 levels and since then the uptrend resumed without any significant setback. In February the ETF cleared its 200-day moving average and continues to trend above its long-term average. In the short-term horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels can act as an overhead supply. Strong support is the 200-day average at 70.3 levels.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 30, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trying to find direction above its long-term average. We can see choppy price action around the 200-day average. More important is how the index will consolidate around the average. If it forms an orderly, recognizable short-term consolidation (in the form of a flag, pennant, rectangle, symmetrical triangle) I will conclude that the index is preparing for a new leg up. 200-day moving average is forming support at 70.15 levels.

INTERIM UPDATE – March 29, 2019

One of my daily tasks is to go through +/- 2,000 names in search for well-defined classical chart patterns. I do this throughout the week. I disconnect from the markets during trading hours and run my research. As the weekend nears, I start finalizing new additions to the watchlist section of the weekly report. I like to inform members ahead of breakouts letting enough time to run their own due diligence on the companies discussed.

The chart below was part of the upcoming report's watchlist. However, it seems like there is a possibility of a breakout prior to the weekend. I think it is important for our members to be informed about this chart  setup.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 23, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trying to find direction above its long-term average. In March the index pulled back to the 200-day average and rebounded. Past few day's trading once again pulled the index towards the long-term average that can act as support around 70 levels. We can see choppy price action around the 200-day average. More important is how the index will consolidate around the average. If it forms an orderly, recognizable short-term consolidation (in the form of a flag, pennant, rectangle, symmetrical triangle) I will conclude that the index is preparing for a new leg up. Price action in 2016 is a good explanation of what I would like to see around the 200-day average to call for a change in trend. (A sharp drop, followed by a strong rebound that breaches the 200-day average, followed by choppy price action in search of a new trend and eventually forming a recognizable chart pattern)

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found support above its 200-day (40 week) average. Sharp V-reversal from the low of January 2019 didn't encounter a pullback/correction. I analyze the price action that manages to consolidate and find support above its long-term average as positive and review the ACWI ETF with a bullish bias. During any pullback or further sideways consolidation, the 200-day moving average at 69.9 levels will act as support.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 9, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found resistance at 71.3 levels. Strong rebound that started in the beginning of January is now being interrupted with a correction. This week's price action tested the 200-day moving average.  We are likely to see more choppy price action around the 200-day average, possibly in an attempt to form a reversal chart pattern. It is still early to call for the developing chart pattern a head and shoulders reversal. ACWI ETF is now in a trading range between 66.3 and 71.3 levels.

INTERIM UPDATE – February 19, 2019

As part of our usual communication and e-mail exchange with Tech Charts members, I got the request to review metal miners. During my research on Philadelphia SE Gold/Silver Index constituents I came across this chart pattern setup which is slightly in longer duration that I feature in the reports (3 months-24 months). However, I think the developing chart pattern is worth bringing to your attention. Read More
