ISHARES MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX ETF

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 review section the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) as a measure of Global Equity Markets performance.

The benchmark for Global Equity Markets performance reversed from all-time highs at 81.4 levels. In the last quarter of 2019, the ACWI ETF experienced two important breakouts. One of them was clearing the horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels which completed a 2 year-long H&S continuation, the other one was to breakout above 2018 highs at 77.5 levels. Since mid-January (first news of coronavirus), the ETF has experienced sharp corrections. The first sell-off pulled the ETF towards 77.5 levels which was followed by a recovery to 81.4 levels. The rebound failed at the previous high and this time another sell-off followed, pulling the ETF back to previous resistance/support area between 74.8 and 77.5 levels.

The ACWI ETF will try to stabilize around the support area. It will be important for ACWI ETF to recover and stabilize above its 200-day average. Failure to do so can put the support at 74.8 in danger, resulting in a larger scale correction and a possible change in trend. It is important to note that the last candlestick on the weekly scale price chart includes two days of trading (Monday & Tuesday). The weekly candle can look much different by the end of the week.

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.

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found resistance at 77.5 levels. Last week's bearish shooting star candlestick pattern proved to be a short-term correction signal. Following a quick sell-off (intra-week) the ETF recovered to test its previous high.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – November 30, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found resistance at 77.5 levels. This week's price action formed a shooting star candlestick around the resistance area. The shooting star is common candlestick that indicates the potential for a bearish reversal. This candlestick is characterized by a small body with a long upper wick and a short or nonexistent lower wick. In order to be classified as a shooting star, the upper wick of the candlestick should be at least twice as long as its body. The shooting star candlestick looks very similar to the inverted hammer candlestick. The defining difference is that shooting stars are bearish reversal signals at the top of of uptrends, while inverted hammers are bullish reversal signals at the bottom of downtrends.

The 5 month-long rectangle price target stands at 79.6 levels. Breakout above the minor resistance can push the ETF towards the price target at 79.6. Both the daily and weekly price charts show a steady uptrend. Unless we see a strong breakout above this week's high, ACWI ETF can trade between 74.8 and 77.5 levels in the following weeks.
