GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – July 20, 2019

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is testing the horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. Breakout can be positive for Global equities. This week's price action once again challenged the horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. I'm monitoring ACWI ETF for a possible breakout to all-time highs. The 200-day moving average at 71.9 levels will act as support during any pullback.

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF continues to remain in a range between the horizontal resistance at 74.8 and the 200-day moving average at 71.4 levels. In the previous report I discussed the possibility of a H&S continuation chart pattern with the neckline standing at 74.8 levels. Price can continue to consolidate between the two important technical levels. A breakout above the horizontal resistance will be very positive for Global equities.

Reviewing long-term charts usually helps us to be focused on the big picture. Due to day to day volatility we might lose sight of the forest for the trees. Every now and then I feature these long-term charts to check the status of the bull market in global equities. U.S. equities have been a leader in the bull market. S&P 500 Index was one of the first widely followed U.S. equity benchmark that completed the decade-long consolidation and broke out to all-time highs in 2013. Since then the index has been in a steady uptrend reaching new high ground. Taking the width of the decade long-consolidation and adding it to the breakout level in percentage terms, gives us a price target in the range of 3,000-3,150.

If there is one theme and well-defined similar chart pattern set ups that I need to highlight, it is in the Gold and Silver mining equities. I discussed the developing chart patterns in an earlier Global Equity Markets report and the Interim update. Whenever similar chart patterns are identified on different equities in the same industry and sector, the price action becomes more important. The Tech Charts Watchlist features some of the well-defined chart setups in the gold & mining equities. In a timely manner, we have also added a new video tutorial for members on Descending Triangle as a bearish reversal chart pattern.

REVIEW

This week's price action did some technical damage on the charts. MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX ETF, a benchmark for global equity market performance gave back three weeks of gains in one weekly bar. The discussion on the financial networks and social media was about buying the dip. 66.3 is the lower boundary of the 7 month-long trend channel for the ACWI ETF. Failure to hold this support level can push the price to the next support at 65.5, which is the 17 month-long upward trendline. There is no clear chart pattern forming on the MSCI ACWI ETF. For those who are looking for sell signals on the ACWI, the breakdown of the trend channels should give some guidance. In case of further weakness in the global equity markets (a breakdown on the ACWI), this week's report should be helpful in identifying some of the bearish chart setups in the global equities and ETFs.

There is enough technical evidence that emerging markets found strong resistance around the current levels. The MSCI EM USD price index tested its decade-long trend line and also the upper boundary of its year-long trend channel. However, it is still early to call for a possible reversal from the strong resistance area. MSCI EM index is possibly forming a decade-long symmetrical triangle.

REVIEW

It has been more than six months that the U.S. small caps are trading in a tight range. One of the well-defined chart patterns the weekly global equity markets report frequently discussed was the ISHARES CORE S&P Small-Cap ETF. IJR has a well-defined trading range between 66.9 and 70.8 levels. The ETFs price is holding above the 18 month-long upward trend line. A directional move should follow soon. The margin between the multi-month trend line and the upper boundary of the 6 month-long rectangle has narrowed. A daily close above 71.80 will confirm the breakout from the 5 month-long rectangle and suggest higher prices. A breach below the 18 month-long trend line can put pressure on the small caps and push prices towards the lower boundary of the rectangle at 66.9 levels.

REVIEW

Europe's equity benchmarks tested critical long-term resistances. After reversing from the multi-year trend line, Euro Stoxx 50 index pulled back to the lower boundary of its year-long trend channel. If the 2 month-long correction has run its course (still no sign of reversal), Europe's equity benchmark can possibly rebound from the lower boundary of its trend channel. During May 2017 the index tested 3,670 levels and since then retreated towards the lower boundary of its year-long trend channel. Failure to hold at the lower boundary of the trend channel can extend the duration of the corrective period.
