GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – August 31, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) formed a short-term consolidation range between 70 and 72.5 levels. The larger scale consolidation is between 70 and 74.8 levels. The boundaries have become well-defined. Breakout above the minor resistance at 72.5 levels can send the ETF towards the resistance at 74.8 levels. Failure at the minor resistance can result in further sideways consolidation between 72.5 and 70 levels. How the ETF resolves from the recent tight consolidation will decide on the last quarter performance for Global equities.

INTERIM UPDATE – August 30, 2019

Dear Tech Charts members, I'm currently working on couple of things.
  1. A detailed analysis of chart pattern reliability/statistics of all breakout alerts (will be available soon).
  2. A new schedule to focus on identifying and featuring more shorter-term breakout opportunities for our members with short-term focus. The weekly Global equity markets report features chart patterns in duration between 4 months - 24 months. I will start adding 2 months - 4 months duration chart patterns on daily scale price charts. A recent example is in this Interim Update (MERCK KGA).
  3. Quarterly member webinar due in September. (date and time will be announced soon).

As I put together the weekly Global equity markets report, I though of sending this Interim Update given the fast moving nature of the past few days equity markets. Members might want to take advantage of those breakouts, if they take place in the last trading day of the week. This update is prepared during Europe trading hours. Charts are as of 11:00 am CET.

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) failed to push above its 200-day moving average at 72 levels. Friday's sell-off pulled the index towards the support level at 70 levels. Breakdown below 70, after several tests, can complete a possible double top with the price target of 65.3 levels. Though, the ETF might try to stabilize at 70 levels once again. I monitor this chart for a possible breakdown.

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found support at the minor low at 70 levels. This week's price action was the 3rd test of the support at 70 levels. The ETF is possibly forming a new trading range between 70 and 74.8 levels. Breakdown below 70 levels can confirm the consolidation as a double top and result in further weakness.

Mid-week Interim Update discussed the possibility of a rebound. The reversal from 70 levels filled the gap. This week's close was at the 200-day average. The ETF is possibly forming a new trading range between 70 and 74.8 levels. Breakdown below 70 levels can result in further weakness.

INTERIM UPDATE – August 7, 2019

As the trade war tensions between U.S. and China escalated, volatility in Global equity markets increased. Given the levels the major Global ETFs are testing, I think a mid-week update would be helpful to put the current status of the markets into perspective.

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) failed to break above the strong horizontal resistance once again. Failure to break above the strong resistance resulted in a pullback towards the long-term average at 72 levels. On Friday the ETF tested the 200-day and closed the day off its lows. If we see the price stabilizing above the support at 72, the new trading range can become 72 and 74.8. Failure to hold above the 200-day can result in a larger scale correction. Next support is at 70 levels.

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is testing the horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. Breakout can be positive for Global equities. This week's price action once again challenged the horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. I'm monitoring ACWI ETF for a possible breakout to all-time highs. The 200-day moving average at 71.9 levels will act as support during any pullback.
