iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ)

By request, here is a look at the ETF that covers Brazilian equity. Looking at the weekly chart below, you will see that I am calling the move from the 2008 high to the early 2016 low a completed three wave corrective structure. Up from the 2016 low, I think you can call that an impulse up for [i] or [a]. The current swing down this year should only be the first move down in a three wave formation for [ii] or [b]. Prices have bounced from a Gann related support at 31.37 though I favor a test of that low or a new low before the impulse is complete. The idea of a new low in (a) is alive as long a the bounce stays under Fib resists at 35.16 and 37.62.

MSCI Italy ETF EWI Update

Since Italy has been in the news lately by finally getting a coalition government formed, I thought it a good time to peek at the ETF covering the Italian equity market. As last time I updated this, it still looks like a decade long triangle either finished or nearly so.

iShares MSCI Italy ETF (EWI) update

Since there are elections coming up this weekend in Italy, thought it would be a good time to update the big picture charts for this ETF. I have interest in it as it has formed a classic triangle from the 2009 low and may have completed at the start of this year. I also think it can turn into a canary in the mine, a harbinger for the future.

Could Italian equities be the canary in the mine?

I find the iShares MSCI Italy ETF interesting for two reasons. One, so far, it is a textbook example of a triangle formation that has spanned nearly nine years. Two, if the triangle pattern holds and the Italian markets turn down, could that be a precursor to other European equity markets topping and even mark a turning point in the Euro?

I don’t know if the triangle pattern will hold or if it will be an early warning to other problems on the continent, but it does look like a trading opportunity is nearby.

The formation for the last eight years has been that of a sideways converging pattern, a potential triangle. We initially started following this last year talking about the possibility of [d] of the triangle being set and to prepare for a bounce up into first quarter...

iShares MSCI Germany ETF (EWG) 2017-04-30

The MSCI German ETF (EWG) has what is thus far a corrective structure up from 2009 to 2014 and a possible ugly leading diagonal down to the 2016. From there, the move up looks like a three into a standard deep retrace value. This area is also roughly a test of the...

DAX futures 2017-04-14

I’ve changed my large scale thinking on the DAX. Originally, was counting up an impulse from a possible large triangle that had wave ‘e’ of the triangle at the low of 2011. That had a nice converging look to it but problems with the internal counts...
