Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) has done very well over the past year, gaining over 30%. The gain is nearly 50% more than the S&P 500 during the same time period. Impressive gain and impressive relative strength compared to the S&P 500!
An important bull market test looks to be at hand for EEM this week, see chart below-
CLICK ON CHART TO ENLARGE
In 2011, EEM looks to have created a head and shoulders top, with the “right shoulder” taking place at line (1). EEM declined for the next 5-years after creating this topping pattern, falling over 40% during that time frame.
In 2015/2016, EEM looks to have created an inverse head and shoulders pattern, where a strong rally over the past 18-months has taken place off the lows. The rally took EEM back to test line (1), which was the right shoulder back in 2011. While hitting line (1) a reversal pattern (bearish wick) took place. Since hitting line (1), EEM has declined a small percent, where it finds itself testing 1-year rising channel support at (2).
The trend in EEM remains up and the small decline of late has NOT changed that trend. EEM bulls want/need to see support hold at (2). If it fails to hold, some selling pressure could take place.
Chart pattern analysis with brief commentary:
There is a ton of news and opinions about markets and stocks that make the decision-making process more difficult than it needs to be.
I believe the Power of the chart Pattern provides all you need to see what is taking place in an asset and determine the action to take.
This approach has worked well for me and our clients and I encourage you to test it for yourself.
