ITB – ISHARES HOME CONSTRUCTION ETF

/0 Comments/in /by

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 The ISHARES US HOME CONSTRUCTION ETF listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The ETF might be forming a H&S top failure. Below you will also find a short educational video on how H&S top failure can develop, trigger a fresh buy signal and how to measure price objective.

ISHARES US HOME CONSTRUCTION ETF (ITB)

The ISHARES US HOME CONSTRUCTION ETF seeks to track the investment results of the Dow Jones US Select Home Construction Index composed of US equities in the home construction sector. The Fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in securities of the Underlying Index and in depositary receipts representing securities of the Index. The ETF is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 4 month-long head and shoulder top with the horizontal boundary acting as strong support at 51.80 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. A daily close below 50.25 levels will confirm the breakdown from the 4 month-long head and shoulder top with the possible chart pattern price target of 44.8 levels. I’m also monitoring this chart for a possible H&S top failure. A breach above the high of the right shoulder will negate the H&S top chart pattern. A daily close above 60 levels (3% above the high of right shoulder) can be used as a breakout confirmation to trade the chart pattern from the long side. Price objective for the H&S top failure stands at 67 levels. (Data as of 17/12/2020)

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – December 12, 2020

/2 Comments/in /by

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) resumed its uptrend after completing a rectangle chart pattern. Breakout took place above 84.15, the upper boundary of the rectangle which is now a short-term support. Possible chart pattern price target stands at 91 levels. During any pullback 84.15 will act as support. The 200-day moving average, which I utilize as a trend filter, is rising as well, now at 79.2 levels. There is no reversal chart pattern on the daily price chart.

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.

UNIVAR SOLUTIONS INC (UNVR.K)

Univar Solutions Inc., formerly Univar Inc., is a global chemical and ingredient distributor and provider of value-added services. The Company operates through four segments: Univar USA, Univar Canada, Univar Europe and the Middle East and Africa and Latin America. The stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 6 month-long rectangle with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 19.00 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. A daily close above 19.60 levels will confirm the breakout from the 6 month-long rectangle with the possible chart pattern price target of 22.3 levels. With tight and lengthy consolidations like these price can reach 2x the price objective. I added the 2x price target which is standing at 25.7 levels. (Data as of 07/12/2020)

Chart Pattern Statistics, H&S continuation and H&S failures – December 2020 Tech Charts Webinar

We are continuing our Member webinar series with several important and frequently asked topics. Given that the topics are different concepts in technical analysis/classical charting and trading, each section will have a +/- 10 min presentation followed by Q&A on that section.

Webinar Outline

  • Review of chart pattern statistics and discussion on chart pattern reliability / Q&A
  • Current market conditions and review of major benchmarks/important chart pattern developments / Q&A
  • A frequently asked chart pattern, H&S continuation and review of H&S failures and how to trade them / Q&A
  • A typical day for me, the daily routine, selection of markets, review and research tips / Q&A
  • Additional Q&A

Live questions from Members

Concept One 2:30

  1. No Questions 

Concept Two 16:45

  1. I wanted to know more about log scale and how to set targets using it. For instance, I have seen some chartist giving two targets for H&S, one for each scale. 28:44
  2. Where do you usually set your “stop loss” in the H&S bottom/continuation? Is it the negation level, or do you use other criteria? 30:35
  3. Do you use the 200 SMA or Exponential & why? Any other moving average you use? 32:11
  4. Could you provide another example or two for setting the H&S target? Do we measure from the neckline to the bottom of the lowest candle body in the head, or to a wick? 33:31
  5. Do you always get out of 100% of your trade when it gets to its objective? Or do you switch to a trailing stop? 33:47

Link of interest

Concept Three 34:15

  1. On the last chart, it didn’t look the H&S pattern had been completed by breaching the neckline, so why is it a H&S failure? (Possibly page 17 or 18.) 49:09
  2. How did you calculate the H&S failure price target on page 19? 50:21
  3. In the H&S bottom with NON-Horizontal neckline (neckline with slope), how do you measure the price target? 51:03
  4. If you wait for the closing price for the breakout signal, how do you decide the trigger price? 51:38
  5. Are you discounting the validity of vertical necklines against the horizontal ones? 52:35
  6. How do you handle spindles? By using Stop Close Only orders? 53:28
  7. If a stocks breaks down and then reverses and goes above the right shoulder, is that a H&S failure? 54:26

Concept Four 55:05

  1. In this BTC Monthly chart, in the log scale, do you see “Cup & Handle” with a neckline at $13,880? 1:05:00
  2. How do you look at Netflix now? 1:06:16
  3. How did you set the target about the sym triangle in slide 30? from the first point? 1:06:53
  4. Do you ever take any help from any indicator while identifying the chart patterns? 1:07:32
  5. Please check GH & KO in you have time 1:08:35
  6. With weekly patterns the chart validation points usually have much wider risk; what % of NAV risk for each position do you use for weekly and what for daily patterns breakouts? 1:08:44

Concept Five 1:11:33

  1. In the US Marker review, for example, I am assuming you are not going chart by chart and have a certain criteria “as starting point” to pick your charts. Do you mind sharing your criteria (if any)? 1:16:24  
  2. Vacation? 1:17:49
  3. Can you explain a bit more about how you use volatility to identify possible patterns? I’m not sure how you review so many stocks! 1:18:05
  4. Do you scan charts by industry? 1:20:14
  5. Do you enter orders during 1 hour before the close? 1:20:41
  6. Would you elaborate a bit further about cases that you can open a position intraday, and do you keep stops during weekends? 1:21:20 

Additional questions 1:23:44

  1. The filter I find useful is the MA 18 weekly rather EMA 200 . What do you think about it? 1:23:45
  2. Could you suggest about position size strategy? 1:24:27
  3. I know you previously mentioned about sending a report on Chinese stocks. Are you still planning to do so – thanks for all you do. 1:25:17
  4. Aren’t Keltner channels more useful than Bollinger bands? After all, Keltner is based on ATRs — actual price ranges, not just the moving average close which Bollinger uses? 1:25:42
  5. Do you think the volume of stocks is relevant for the pattern success ratio? 1:26:31

SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE AND BTCUSD

/0 Comments/in /by

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, commodities, currencies and cryptocurrencies that might be in focus. This blog post features from the review section BTCUSD. Please note that this is a monthly scale price chart and the November price action (last candle) is still not completed. I’m featuring this chart to show the levels BTC is testing and to draw attention to a possible outcome with symmetrical triangle breakouts.

BTCUSD possibly completed a symmetrical triangle chart pattern on the long-term price chart. Symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern with diagonal boundaries. One difficulty with trading breakouts from diagonal boundaries is the fact that price, following the breakout can find resistance at the minor high. Whereas breakouts from chart patterns with horizontal boundaries usually clear all minor highs at the same time of the breakout.

The minor high for BTC stands at 19,666 levels. Question is, will BTC find resistance at the minor high before breaking out to all-time highs. Previous two breakouts took place after price found resistance and retraced from the minor highs. Chart pattern price target for BTC stands at 30K and with possibly a potential to move much higher, but now we need to focus on the price action around 19,666 levels.
Here is a short educational video that explains the importance of the minor high as resistance with symmetrical triangle breakouts.
