Welcome to The Market’s Compass Rising Market’s Nation ETF Research, Week #588. As at all times, it highlights the technical adjustments of the 20 EM Nation ETFs that I monitor on a weekly foundation and publish each third week. Paid subscribers will obtain this week’s unabridged Rising Market’s Nation ETF Research despatched to their registered e-mail. Previous publications could be accessed by paid subscribers through The Market’s Compass Substack Weblog. Subsequent week I shall be publishing The Market’s Compass Developed Markets Nation ETF Research. On Sunday I printed the newest version of The Market’s Compass Crypto Candy Sixteen Research which I publish on a weekly foundation and tracks the technical adjustments of sixteen of the bigger capitalized Cryptocurrencies.
To grasp the methodology utilized in setting up the target EM Nation ETF Particular person Technical Rankings go to the mc’s technical indicators web page at www.themarketscompass.com and choose “em nation etfs”. What follows is a Cliff Notes model* of the total clarification of the methodology I take advantage of…
*The technical rating system is a quantitative strategy that makes use of a number of technical concerns that embrace however will not be restricted to pattern, momentum, measurements of accumulation/distribution and relative energy of every particular person 20 EM Nation ETFs that may vary between 0 and 50. The Whole EM Technical Rating or “TEMTR” is the sum of the twenty particular person TRs and could be considered as an overbought / oversold indicator in addition to a affirmation / non-confirmation indicator. There may be additionally a Whole Rating for every geographic area that may be considered as a relative measurement on per week over week foundation.
This previous week The Whole EM Technical Rating or “TEMTR” fell -13.95% to 367 from 426.5 the earlier week which was a continued drop from 448.5 studying three weeks in the past which was a 33.01% drop from the week ending 2/27 (669.5). Not surprisingly the Whole EMEA EM Rating fell many of the three geographic areas final week, -26.9% to 80 from 109.5 two weeks in the past. Because the week ending 2/27 the Whole EMEA EM Rating (196.6) has fallen 60.68%. Final week the Whole Asia-Pacific Rating fell-9.2% to 158 from 174 the week earlier than and has fallen probably the most for the reason that week ending 2/27 down 41.37%. The Whole Lat AM EM Rating fell -9.8% to 129 from 143 the earlier week. Because the week ending 2/27, the Whole Lat/AM EM Rating has fallen the least of the three geographic areas down 34.35%.
Solely one of many twenty EM Nation ETFs I monitor in these pages registered a acquire of their Technical Rankings or TRs over the previous week; three had been unchanged and twelve had TRs that fell, of which two fell double digits (the iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (EPHE) and the iShares South Africa Index Fund ETF (EZA). Final week not one of the TRs had been within the “inexperienced zone” (TRs between 34.5 and 50), ten had been within the “blue zone” (TRs between 15.5 and 34), and ten had been within the “crimson zone” (TRs between 0 and 15). The earlier week two TRs had been within the “inexperienced zone”, ten had been within the “blue zone”, and eight had been within the “crimson zone”. For 2 weeks working all 5 Lat/Am TRs remained within the “blue zone”. The panel beneath displays the technical deterioration of EM Nation ETFs and the degradation in particular person Technical Rankings for the reason that week ending February twenty seventh.
*To grasp the development the of The Technical Situation Components go to the Market’s Compass web site www.themarketscompass.com and go to the mc’s technical indicators web page and choose “em nation etfs”.
A brief model of the how the Technical Situation Components are calculated follows…
There are eight Technical Situation Components (“TCFs”) which can be a summation of the twenty ETFs TRs technical situation of every TCF query. The eight Technical Situation Components don’t ask the identical variety of questions. That’s the reason it’s calculated as a share. If a TCF particular person studying is 100% that will imply that every one Twenty ETFs fullfilled that individual TCF criterior.
Falling again into oversold territory this previous week a studying 10.00% was registered within the Each day Momentum Technical Situation Issue (”DMTCF”) or 14 out of a doable complete of 140 optimistic factors.
As a affirmation software, if all eight TCFs enhance on a week-over-week foundation, extra of the 20 ETFs are bettering internally on a technical foundation, confirming a broader market transfer larger (consider an advance/decline calculation). Conversely if all eight TCFs fall on a week-over-week foundation it confirms a broader market transfer decrease. Final week, seven TCFs fell, and one was unchanged confirming the continued technical weak point.
The Relative Rotation Graph, generally known as RRGs had been developed in 2004-2005 by Julius de Kempenaer. These charts are a novel visualization software for relative energy evaluation. Chartists can use RRGs to research the relative energy developments of a number of securities towards a typical benchmark, (on this case the EEM) and towards one another over any given time interval (within the case beneath, day by day) over the previous three weeks. The facility of RRG is its potential to plot relative efficiency on one graph and present true rotation. All RRGs charts use 4 quadrants to outline the 4 phases of a relative pattern. The Optuma RRG charts makes use of, From Main (in inexperienced) to Weakening (in yellow) to Lagging (in pink) to Bettering (in blue) and again to Main (in inexperienced). True rotations could be seen as securities transfer from one quadrant to the opposite over time. That is solely a quick clarification of find out how to interpret RRG charts. To be taught extra, see the put up scripts and hyperlinks on the finish of this Weblog.
Not all 20 ETFs are plotted on this RRG Chart. I’ve achieved this for readability functions. These which I imagine are of upper technical curiosity stay.
The iShares MSCI Malaysia Index Fund ETF (EWM) has made what I usually check with as a “optimistic three quadrant transfer” over the previous three weeks by rising out of the Lagging Quadrant, by the Bettering Quadrant, with a pickup in Relative Power Momentum, and into the Main Quadrant ending final week registering one of the best Relative Ratio at 102.16 vs. the iShares Rising Markets ETF or EEM, of the twenty ETFs we monitor in these pages (see the Tabulation Desk beneath). That mentioned, Relative Power Momentum has begun to sluggish barely. After rolling over within the Main Quadrant three weeks in the past, the iShares MSCI South Africa Index Fund ETF (EZA) fell briefly into the Weakening Quadrant per week in the past final Thursday. Growing adverse Relative Power Momentum (observe the gap between the day by day nodes) rapidly drove the EZA into the Lagging Quadrant and decrease. Per week in the past, final Wednesday, The World X MSCI Colombia ETF (COLO) escaped the Lagging Quadrant rising into the Bettering Quadrant exhibiting sturdy Relative Power Momentum vs. the EEM and is just one “good” day from getting into the Main Quadrant.
The “Tabulation Desk” beneath marks the Relative Power and Relative Power Momentum readings vs. the iShares MSCI Rising Markets Index ETF or EEM. It begins with the readings on the finish of final week adopted by the trailing three weeks that features the readings from the final Research for the week ending 1/16. If there was an enchancment in both the Relative Power Ratio or the Relative Power Momentum studying on a week-over-week foundation I’ve highlighted it in inexperienced. If there was a contraction in both, it’s highlighted in crimson and an unchanged studying in both will stay black. The colour-coding system serves as a warmth map over the previous 4 Friday’s readings highlighting both the continued enchancment, deterioration, or stasis vs. the benchmark, the EEM. The ETFs which can be displayed on the RRG chart above are highlighted in blue.
*The “TEMTR” is the sum of the 20 Particular person Goal EM ETF Technical Rankings. It serves as an overbought or oversold in addition to a affirmation / non-confirmation indicator.
The sub-title of the final EM Nation ETF Research printed for the week ending February twenty seventh was “IMO Somethings Gotta Give” however over the next weekend the USA and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on Iran. Though the technical causes for that secondary title could be seen wanting again on the chart above when the Whole EM ETF Rating or TEMTR fell beneath the 13-Week Exponential Transferring common (crimson line) to a sub-700 studying whereas EEM rose to a brand new Weekly closing excessive however it’s for sure the geopolitical penalties vastly outmoded that preliminary technical concern. Extra on the longer-term technical repercussions from current occasions comply with on the shorter-term Weekly Chart.
*The “ATR” just like the “TEMTR” serves as an overbought or oversold in addition to a affirmation / non-confirmation indicator.
Two weeks in the past, the EEM fell beneath help on the Decrease Parallel (strong gold line) of the Schiff Modified Pitchfork (gold P1-P3) and regardless of a valiant try to recuperate the misplaced floor above the Decrease Parallel by the tip of the week the EEM closed again beneath it. A second try to rally final week failed at resistance on the Kijun Plot (inexperienced line) and on the week’s shut the EEM was teetering on help afforded by help on the Decrease Parallel (strong violet line) on the newly drawn Customary Pitchfork (violet P1 by P3). On the finish of the week the Common EM Technical Rating has fallen to the bottom degree since April of final 12 months, breaking beneath each the longer-term and shorter-term transferring common of the oscillator. Each the Stochastic Momentum Index and MACD had reached overbought territory and now replicate the sharp lack of any optimistic value momentum along with exhibiting no indicators of downtrend exhaustion in both oscillator.

*Doesn’t embrace dividends if any.
Solely two of the twenty EM Nation ETFs had been up on an absolute foundation final week (the iShares MSCI Poland ETF (EPOL) was unchanged) and seventeen traded decrease over the week. Twelve of the EM ETFs outperformed the -2.04% loss within the EEM on a relative foundation and eight underperformed. The typical five-day absolute loss within the Rising Markets ETFs was -1.89%, including to the -1.75% loss the earlier week and the sharp -8.44% loss three weeks in the past.
There may be nothing that may be mentioned to be even faintly technically optimistic concerning the present state of the EEM. Costs broke key help on Friday at 56.25 and all three momentum oscillators are monitoring decrease. This week’s subtitle “Don’t Clear Off the Fan Blades But, There may be Extra to Come! sums all of it up. I’ll put up an replace subsequent week if there are notable technical adjustments.
