GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 12, 2018
REVIEW
Global equities experienced renewed strength during the week. Weekly candles on both the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF opened at the lowest and closed at the highest point suggesting buyers domination throughout the week. ACWI ETF is breaking out of its 4 month-long tight consolidation. The benchmark for Global equity markets performance has been in a steady uptrend. Recent tight consolidation took place above the long-term average and the lower boundary of its 2 year-long trend channel. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index weighed down by U.S. Dollar strength, still managed to hold on to its 200 day (40 week) average and rebounded from the lower boundary of its 2 year-long uptrend. Both ETFs are in a steady uptrend.

DUBAI TRADERS SUMMIT – H&S BOTTOM
In April 2018, I was invited to share my experiences in charting the Middle East and Africa equity markets at the Dubai Traders Summit. The event was not recorded. I wanted to make this presentation available for our members so I recorded this educational video, featuring parts of the presentation I shared at the event. This section focuses on H&S bottom examples. I hope you will find it valuable.

Note on Dubai Traders Seminar:
Several Tech Charts members asked if the Dubai Traders Seminar presentation will be recorded and made available on Tech Charts website. Unfortunately the seminar was not recorded by the organizer. However, I will make this presentation available to our members via short educational videos in the following days/weeks. Each part of the presentation will address specific chart pattern examples presented in separate videos and will be archived under Educational Videos.
REVIEW
Global equity markets is getting closer to a strong directional movement. Tight consolidations on both the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF suggest breakouts can result in a trend period. Consolidations are followed by trends and vice versa. Both ACWI and EEM are trading above their long-term moving averages and inside the boundaries of multi-month long uptrend channels. Breakdown below the long-term averages and the lower boundary of trend channels can result in a larger scale correction. At this point, with the current available information, we can conclude that the long-term uptrend is still intact. We are very close to the completion of last quarter's tight consolidation.
