The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF, a measure of Global equity markets performance, had a sharp rebound from the support level at 63. V-bottom reversals are difficult to analyze and trade. If we have seen a V bottom and the ETF keeps climbing higher in the following weeks, I will wait for the price to stabilize around the long-term average. During any pullback I will monitor this ETF for short/medium-term bullish continuation chart pattern developments. Long-term 200-day moving average stands at 69.7 levels.

Dairy Farm International Holdings Limited is a Hong Kong-based Asian retailer. The Company operates in four segments: Food, Health and Beauty, Home Furnishings, and Restaurants. The stock is listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 2 year-long cup & handle continuation with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 9.3 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. A daily close above 9.6 levels will confirm the breakout from the 2 year-long cup & handle continuation with the possible chart pattern price target of 11 levels. The handle part of the multi year-long consolidation can be identified as a possible rectangle that can act as a launching pattern. Price data is as of January 15, 2019 CET 7:00 AM.

The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF, a measure of Global equity markets performance, had a sharp rebound from the support level at 63. Back to back weekly gains pushed the index towards the resistance area between 66.3 and 70. Is the recent rebound part of a bottoming process or a counter-trend rally in a downtrend? The answer lies in the following week's price action. V-bottom reversals are difficult to analyze and trade. If we have seen a V bottom and the ETF keeps climbing higher in the following weeks, I will wait for the price to stabilize above the long-term average. If there is a re-test of previous lows in an attempt to form a double bottom, then I will monitor the ETF for a long opportunity. The other possibility is that we see a short-term consolidation before moving higher. That again will alert me to look for bullish setups.
