GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – April 13, 2019

/3 Comments/in /by

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is now close to a horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. The ETF had a strong rebound from 63 levels. The V-bottom reversal was followed by the ETF clearing its long-term moving average in February. Since then the ACWI ETF has been trending above its long-term average. I consider price action above the long-term average as positive and classify it as an uptrend. Though it is important to note that, last few month's price action has been steep and such steep advances are not sustainable. During any setback the long-term moving average at 70.45 levels will act as support. Short-term resistance stands at 74.8 levels.

REVIEW

The benchmark for Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) continues to remain strong. The ETF had a strong rebound from support at 63 levels and since then the uptrend resumed without any significant setback. In February the ETF cleared its 200-day moving average and continues to trend above its long-term average. In the short-term horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels can act as an overhead supply. Strong support is the 200-day average at 70.3 levels.

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trying to find direction above its long-term average. We can see choppy price action around the 200-day average. More important is how the index will consolidate around the average. If it forms an orderly, recognizable short-term consolidation (in the form of a flag, pennant, rectangle, symmetrical triangle) I will conclude that the index is preparing for a new leg up. 200-day moving average is forming support at 70.15 levels.

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trying to find direction above its long-term average. In March the index pulled back to the 200-day average and rebounded. Past few day's trading once again pulled the index towards the long-term average that can act as support around 70 levels. We can see choppy price action around the 200-day average. More important is how the index will consolidate around the average. If it forms an orderly, recognizable short-term consolidation (in the form of a flag, pennant, rectangle, symmetrical triangle) I will conclude that the index is preparing for a new leg up. Price action in 2016 is a good explanation of what I would like to see around the 200-day average to call for a change in trend. (A sharp drop, followed by a strong rebound that breaches the 200-day average, followed by choppy price action in search of a new trend and eventually forming a recognizable chart pattern)

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found support above its 200-day (40 week) average. Sharp V-reversal from the low of January 2019 didn't encounter a pullback/correction. I analyze the price action that manages to consolidate and find support above its long-term average as positive and review the ACWI ETF with a bullish bias. During any pullback or further sideways consolidation, the 200-day moving average at 69.9 levels will act as support.

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found resistance at 71.3 levels. Strong rebound that started in the beginning of January is now being interrupted with a correction. This week's price action tested the 200-day moving average.  We are likely to see more choppy price action around the 200-day average, possibly in an attempt to form a reversal chart pattern. It is still early to call for the developing chart pattern a head and shoulders reversal. ACWI ETF is now in a trading range between 66.3 and 71.3 levels.

The ETF is now testing a minor resistance level at 71.3. The rebound from January lows has been strong and without any correction.

Previous comment platform was not allowing members to post charts and have discussions. With this improvement, I hope to have detailed discussions with our members and possibly post breakout alerts related to each week's report. I also hope that Tech Charts members will be able to interact with each other through the DISQUS platform (at the bottom of each weekly report) to share their knowledge on different instruments available to take advantage of breakout opportunities. I hope we will all benefit from this new feature.

REVIEW

Global equity markets performance as measured by the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O), formed a new trading range between 66.3 and 71.3 levels. Over the past 3 months the ETF has been consolidating in a wide range below its long-term (200-day) average. Breakdown of the wide 3 month-long consolidation can send the ETF towards the next support level at 63. If the ETF manages to hold above the support at 66.3 levels, we can expect further consolidation between 66.3 and 71.2.

REVIEW

Global equity markets performance as measured by the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) reversed from its long-term moving average resistance at 71.3 levels. In the beginning of October the index broke down its 7 month-long consolidation and the 200-day moving average. Since then the ETF has challenged the strong resistance area between 71 and 71.5 levels but failed to breach higher. This week's sell-off pulled the ACWI ETF towards the minor support at 66.5 levels. Failure to hold above the short-term support can send the index to the next level at 63 levels. The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF is trading below its long-term average and is in a downtrend.
