GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – August 25, 2018

REVIEW


Once again the benchmark for Global Equity Markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is challenging the upper boundary of its 6 month-long sideways consolidation. The upper boundary was tested several times over the past few months. Resistance stands at 73.9. The lower boundary of the possible symmetrical triangle is acting as support at 70.5 levels. The ACWI ETF is trading above its long-term (200-day) average. Breakout above the upper boundary can complete the multi-month sideways consolidation and result in a directional move. The ACWI ETF still remains in a trading range.

This week the ACWI ETF reversed from the strong resistance at 74 levels. Price chart suggests further consolidation in a range.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – December 9, 2017

REVIEW


After breaking out to all-time highs in the beginning of 2017, UK FTSE 100 Index is still looking for direction as the last several-months price action formed a possible bullish continuation chart pattern. 7 month-long sideways consolidation can be identified as a possible ascending triangle with the lower boundary acting as support at 7,300 and the upper boundary as resistance at 7,600 levels. The upward sloping lower boundary and the horizontal upper boundary gives the chart pattern its bullish bias, suggesting buyers are able to bid the price higher at every pullback. Latest correction not only found support at the lower boundary of the possible ascending triangle but also at the long-term 200 day (40 week) moving average. If the support at 7,300 level holds, we can expect a rebound towards 7,600 levels.
