In our last Chart of The Week, we took a look at Pharmaceuticals to identify opportunities on the short side of that sector.

Today we're taking a step back and at the performance of Emerging Market equities as an asset class.

Tuesday's Mystery Chart is one of my favorite charts right now, so thank you all for your feedback and participation.

It seems almost everyone was on the same page here, getting involved in some way, shape, or form on the long side.

With that as our backdrop, let's get into it.

In late August we wrote about the weakness in Biotech and its coming breakdown on an absolute basis.

Now that we've gotten that breakdown, let's take a look at the entire Healthcare sector and identify what risks remain.

Hey guys I'm coming to Cleveland on Thursday October 24th. I will be a guest speaker at the Northern Ohio Chapter of the CMT Association. It should be a lot of fun. I hope you can make it!

Here are the details:

Today we're taking a look at one of the most important Emerging Markets out there, Brazil, on an absolute and relative basis.

Let's see what's going on there.

Today we're looking at our updated Monthly Chartbooks to identify the structural trends in India's major indices, sectors, and stocks.

New Mystery Chart!

For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and remove the x/y-axes and any other labels that would help identify it. The chart can be any security in any asset class on any timeframe on an absolute or relative basis. Maybe it's a custom index or inverted, who knows!

We do all this to put aside the biases we have associated with this specific security/the market and come to a conclusion based solely on price.

You can guess what it is if you must, but the real value comes from sharing what you would do right now. Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?

The TSX Composite Index is attempting to hold above its 2018 highs after breaking out earlier this month.

In early August we wrote a Canada Update for Premium Members outlining ideas (and another post 2 weeks ago), many of which are working well, however, we're following up on this post today with a stock on our watchlist that's become actionable.

This post is a follow-up to today's Chart of The Week, so if you've not read that I'd recommend doing so before continuing with this deep dive.

Technology is the largest sector of the market from an indexing perspective, but it's also pervasive because it finds its ways into other sectors/industries and often plays a big role.

With that as our backdrop, it's clear why Technology's relative performance is an important barometer for the health of the market...and it's been quite good since breaking out to new highs in 2016.

So can it continue, or are we due for some TECHnical difficulties in the weeks and months ahead?

The mean reversion we outlined a few weeks ago has been playing out, but now the major indices are running into sellers at very logical levels.

With that said, one area looks particularly vulnerable at current levels, Pharma.

Tuesday's Mystery Chart received similar responses, with most people looking to get long if prices were able to hold above support.

Now, let's look at the chart and levels.
