REVIEW

The benchmark for Global Equity Markets performance, iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF is trying to rebound from strong support area formed by the 200-day (40 week) average and the lower boundary of upward trend channel. Failure to hold above support area can result in a larger scale correction. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) is also trying to find support around the long-term support area. While the long-term uptrend is still intact, we are possibly due for more choppy price action in the coming weeks. Several major Global equity indices are forming well-defined trading ranges. Charts below show the boundaries of these consolidations.

ISHARES MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX 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 and emerging 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 a review on the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF that was featured in the latest Global Equity Markets report. Below you will also find a long-term chart on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

Indecision. Jury is still out. This week’s price action is best explained with the help of candlestick patterns definitions. Spinning top is a candlestick with a long upper shadow, long lower shadow, and small real body. One long shadow represents a reversal of sorts; spinning tops represent indecision. The small real body (whether hollow or filled) shows little movement from open to close, and the shadows indicate that both bulls and bears were active during the session. Even though the week opened and closed with little change, prices moved significantly higher and lower in the meantime. Neither buyers nor sellers could gain the upper hand and the result was a standoff. After a long advance or long white candlestick, a spinning top indicates weakness among the bulls and a potential change or interruption in trend. After a long decline (I think this is what we experienced over the past 3 weeks) or long black candlestick, a spinning top indicates weakness among the bears and a potential change or interruption in trend.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 31, 2018

REVIEW

Global equity markets are still holding above their long-term support levels. A benchmark that I’m following for Global equity market performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) rebounded once again from the 200-day (40 week) moving average and the lower boundary of its 2 year-long trend channel. The benchmark for Emerging Markets equities performance, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) is trading above its long-term average and still far from the lower boundary of its multi-month long uptrend. A breakdown below the lower boundary of the trend channel and the 200-day average at 70.3 levels for the ACWI can result in further weakness. Until we see a breakdown, we will expect the uptrends to resume.

REVIEW

Both the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF are headed towards their February lows. Next few weeks will be important as these two Global equity benchmarks will tell us if the 2 year-long uptrend in equities is over or not. Breakdown below long-term averages will also violate the lower boundary of steady upward trend channels. While the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index has margin towards the strong support area, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index closed the week at the support level. Unless we see a stability above 70 levels, the ETF can correct towards the next support at 63 levels.
