EEM trade ideas
US Equities & Emerging Markets Correction???The Emerging Market ETF has just tagged a huge area of confluence this week shown on the monthly chart. This should be of interest to anyone trading US Equities or the EM pairs such as USD/MXN. Its worth noting that on the three previous occasions this long term trendline was touched a correction occurred in US Equities as highlighted on the chart, once minor and twice the start of something more significant.
The Yen also appears to have further to strengthen with key levels broken in NZD/JPY and AUD/JPY as well as the potential false channel break on the USD/JPY
I'm of the opinion that the decline this week in Equities was just the beginning of a larger correction and the rebound today was a gift to top up on shorts. Perma Bulls are starting to believe the buy the dip mentality is fail proof, yet again seeking new all time highs and alot of sellers losing the will to live which normally suggests a move maybe just around the corner.
Good luck all
Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated

Time to short Emerging Markets - EEMLonger term trade here with fundamentals and technicals aligning.
Technicals
I will be shorting EEM as it has completed 5 waves inside of a long-term downside Elliot wave. We will be looking to short EEM as it completes a long-term wave 5.
Fundamentals
The US Economy is strong. The Fed will more than likely hike rates in March or soon after. The rate hike with strengthen our dollar, therefore weakening other countries currency. Trade with the US will also be "more expensive" for Emerging Markets. We feel EEM will be hurt by the current US Economy.

Emerging Markets - EEM - Uptrend and Bearish SentimentIt looks like the long term downtrend is ending here:
There is a lot of consensus that the Trump Presidency will crush emerging markets by way of the destruction of trading partnerships and new trade wars. But that post-election decline has fully retraced AND with all of the fears of euphoria in the US with equity prices at all time highs and appearing extended in price and appearing extended in valuation, this Emerging Markets ETF is certainly showing a very different picture. The fears may be overblown about Emerging Markets AND there may be plenty of upside now that the sellers have sold all they can sell. Old buyers are sellers here at the 38-42 range, which it tested last year and now appears to be going for another test here in the first quarter. (January high 37.62, 37.38 last).

Inflation, China and Emerging MarketsIn higher inflation environments, money flows typically begin to head into emerging markets. This is primarily due to the fact that many of them are commodity producers. When looking at capital flows into EM-nations and real treasury term premia, it is this capital flow which is partly responsible for driving up interest rates.
When taking this into account, it is expected that continued flow into emerging markets will keep interest rates elevated.
However, there is an increasing relationship into capital flows into emerging markets and China’s monetary policy, which to say the least is non-consistent.
We believe the late-cycle inflation in the U.S., plus the likely even that China could face another liquidity crunch, the outlook on EEM is neutral. Although, price momentum is strong the rapidly declining volume is a key signal that a bull trap could be in place.
