So our President has chosen to discuss the importance of immigration in the midst of all of the recent controversy in Washington. I cannot fault him for that. Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, is looking strong, according to Carlos Slim. But the when you look at the chart for the Mexico iShares ETF, EWW, it has been falling for weeks. It seems a little good press might be well timed to help it bounce.
Mexico iShares ETF (EWW)
This weekly chart broke above trend resistance in September, retested and held in November. It is now retesting again after a much bigger move higher. A hold here again could pull in many longs as the Inverse Head and Shoulders price objective at 104 looms large above. The prior resistance, now support is also important to the shorts as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving into bearish territory, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is running lower. A break through signals there is more downside, and next support around the 100 week Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 62.15 followed by 58.25. So it is a matter of national pride, and Obama is right to focus on this now.
