GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – September 22, 2018

Reminder on Live Webinar

We are continuing our Member webinar series with another classical chart pattern; the symmetrical triangle. Live Webinar and Q&A with Aksel - Tuesday, September 25, 11am mountain. You can register here (Register for the Live Webinar)


REVIEW


Global equity markets performance as measured by the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) made another attempt this week to break out of its multi-month long sideways consolidations. The weekly close was at the high of the weekly candlestick. This week's price action is possibly a "secondary completion" of the symmetrical triangle chart pattern. Follow through in the following week can resume uptrend towards 2018 high levels.

A REVIEW ON ASIAN EQUITY BENCHMARKS

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 part of the review section highlighting chart pattern developments on Asian equity benchmarks.

REVIEW


Over the past few months two major breakdowns were featured on Asia equity markets. Both Korea Kospi 200 Index and Singapore Strait Times Index completed top formations and breached their long-term averages. Breakdowns also breached their multi-year upward trend line supports. Singapore Strait Times Index is now very close to its chart pattern price target at 3,100 levels. However, the index is in a steady downtrend and there is no evidence of a short-term bottom formation.

Korea Kospi 200 Index completed a year-long H&S top chart pattern after breaching the neckline at 304 levels. The index remains below its long-term average and in a steady downtrend. The year-long H&S top has an unmet price target at 273.7 levels.

China SSE 50 Index first breached its long-term average and then broke down its 4 year-long upward trend line at 2,615 levels. Last two month’s consolidation is possibly forming a symmetrical triangle that can act as a bearish continuation chart pattern. Strong resistance area remains between 2,615 and 2,625 levels. Chinese equities are in a steady downtrend.

Two Asian equity benchmarks are holding well despite the weakness in regional equities. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index and Taiwan ETF (EWT) listed on the New York Stock Exchange, are going through tight consolidations. Charts below feature the 1st month continuation futures price chart for Nikkei 225 Index and the iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT). Breakout higher from these tight consolidations can be positive for both Japan and Taiwan equities.

REVIEW


Strength in U.S. equities alone was not enough to push the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) out of its 6 month-long consolidation range. Few days of price action above the chart pattern boundary at 73.9 levels failed to materialize into a strong directional movement. The ETF continues to remain in a range between 70.6 and 73.9 levels. Strong support stands at 70.6 levels.

REVIEW


The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) breached the upper boundary of its 6 month-long symmetrical triangle. The upper boundary is acting as resistance at 73.9 levels. The jury is still out. We need to see a follow through in the following week to call for a breakout from the lengthy sideways consolidation. This week's price action can be a premature breakout that can be followed by a secondary completion. More on: Premature & False breakouts

Global Equity Markets continue to remain in a range. The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is possibly forming a 6 month-long symmetrical triangle with the upper boundary acting as resistance at 74 and the lower boundary as support at 70.5 levels. Breakout from this lengthy consolidation range will result in a directional move.

If anybody tells you, "I know what the markets will do in the following weeks" he or she might be guessing. I will try to be as objective as possible with some of the major equity benchmarks and convey the message of my chart analysis. After the Jan-Feb 2018 sell-off on the ACWI ETF, price remained range-bound. The consolidation formed a possible 4 month-long symmetrical triangle (can act a bearish continuation). Both the lower boundary of the consolidation and the 200-day (40 week) moving average formed support around the same level. After each test over the past 4 months, the ETF rebounded from the 200-day moving average.

REVIEW


Benchmark for Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is challenging the upper boundary of its 4 month-long symmetrical triangle at 73.90 levels. Tight consolidation is taking place above the long-term average which is acting as support at 71.2 levels. Both the long-term average and the lower boundary of the 2 year-long uptrend are forming support around the same levels. ACWI ETF is in a steady uptrend. Decisive breakout above 73.90 can resume the multi-year long uptrend. Failure to move higher can result in another test of the long-term average at 71.2 levels.

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.
