RECTANGLE CHART PATTERN BREAKOUTS

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 breakouts section some of the text-book rectangle chart pattern breakouts. Rectangle is one of my favorite classical chart pattern. It has well-defined boundaries. It is easier to identify on price charts. Usually before the breakout takes place price has several tests of the chart pattern boundary. Breakouts after several tests of pattern boundary are usually powerful and are followed by strong trends.

A quick note for our new followers; the red lines on price charts are not provided as stop-loss levels. While they can be used as stop-loss, they are actually a subjective level for chart pattern negation. Chart pattern negation is different than a stop-loss. A stop-loss can be placed below the chart pattern boundary tighter or wider depending on your risk profile and other factors. I attached below a chart that explains each labeling on price charts.

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD (TEL)

TE Connectivity Ltd. is a technology company. The Company designs and manufactures connectivity and sensors solutions. The stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 8 month-long ascending triangle with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 97.0 levels.

The daily close above 100.0 levels confirmed the breakout from the 8 month-long ascending triangle with the possible chart pattern price target of 110.0 levels.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – January 18, 2020

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) continues to remain strong after completing both rectangle and H&S continuation chart patterns. ACWI ETF is in a steady uptrend. During any pullback, the high of 2018 (77.5) can act as support. It is usually difficult to pick tops and bottoms. The best way to approach strong trending markets is to trail it with trend following indicators such as ATR based trailing stops or different period moving averages. Selection of moving average period will depend on your time frame. Short-term moving averages will trail the price closely, resulting in an early exit signal.
