FXI trade ideas
FXI bearish-Weakens to retest 38.88 - July’s spike low nextFXI looks to retest July’s spike low at 38.88 which is also near the 200 week moving average currently at 38.69. Below there lies the 36.72 support (September 29, 2014 low) near the 76.4% retracement of the 32.58/52.85 rise. 41.55 should cap near-term bounces.
Outlook:
Short term: bearish
Long term: bearish
China - FXI - Bull & Bear Markets Since 2011The red lines are losses from trades if you had SOLD SHORT when a bear market had started (-20% move off of a closing high) and reversed and GONE LONG when a bull market had started (+20% move off of a closing low).
The latest signal closed out of the only profitable trade in 5 years.
This is just an educational piece and shows how choppy the Chinese market has been in the past 5 years.

CHINA ETF - FXI - 2009 to present = sidewaysLook at all of the large drawdowns across the same price range.
2009 = 20% drop
2010 = 18% drop
2010 = 14% drop
2011 = 38% drop
2012 = 20% drop
2013 = 25% drop
2014 = 18% drop
2014 = 13% drop
2015 = 11% drop (so far)
From 2009's top until present - China is flat (measured by FXI), yet it has had MASSIVE VOLATILITY in price across a large price range. All of that "indigestion" (nearly 6 BEAR MARKET MOVES IN 5 YEARS!!!!) has led to a nice rally here at the end that has captured the world's attention. Their IPO market has stocks triple, rise 300%, on opening day. This action is what bubbles are made of.
What does the next 5 years hold?
Would you buy and hold from right here for 5 years?

FXI $50.25: Posted a new 7-year high at 52.56 near key retracemeFXI rallied strongly to post a 7-year high at 52.56 (April 16, 2015) near the 61.8% retracement of the 73.11/19.35 fall, before consolidating. The Technical indicators remains positive (on all time frames), reinforcing the bullish price action. Immediate support lies at 47.88 (21 day moving average, not shown on chart). Below rests 44.96 (April 1, 2015 low, near 55 day moving average) which should hold dips. If bulls manage to reclaim 52.56, that would accelerate the year-long uptrend towards 54.94 (May 1, 2008 lower high, near 76.4% of the 73.11/19.35 fall) next.
Outlook:
Short term: buy on pullbacks
Long term: bullish
China Bubble with Symmetrical Trending Moves China Bubble with Symmetrical Trending Moves
It's obvious we are looking at a equity bubble in China. I'm not worried where this goes, I'm more interested in where this ends. I want to be on the put side of this ETF. I have most likely missed 2/3 of this price move. Volatility and price velocity will be much greater on the downside, and more money can be made when the bubble burst.
Symmetrical Lines
In this chart example I'm focused on large impulsive symmetrical moves on the downside. Both moves on the downside had similar angles. I marked these previous downward moves and added them to where Chinese ETF FXI brokeout.
Timing the Bust
I'm expecting the bubble to top somewhere between July 13 and August 28 (noted vertical line alarms on chart).

China is making a come backChina has been relatively flat on the weekly chart for the past 2-3 years after its initial pullback from its push out of the 2009 recession. It is my belief that China is back. Long term price consolidation in this relatively tight narrow band and the recent sell-off all point to low risk entry. Fears of recession or crisis in China are all fluff: China's government allows for swift top-down approach and also has a lot to learn from crisis in the west. most importantly, China is not overvalued, or , in my opinion even fairly valued by any traditional measure, so even if a crisis comes to china, downside would probably not be as crazy as it was in the west when markets were near all time highs.
Conclusion: China is offering a long term low risk entry point for years to come. I don't think this is a short term trade by any means, although one could use this information to prsumambly find stocks to take advantage
