In Part I, last night, we looked at Baidu, (BIDU), as a Chinese name that is on the verge of a breakout. But the broad Chinese market is also looking pretty good. The Shanghai Composite, (SSEC), has been consolidating a move higher foe 2 weeks in a bull flag. The flag is at the previous symmetrical triangle from September through October and projects a move higher to 2320, near a full retracement of the move lower through June of this year. That would be a great move to
catch, if you were Chinese and living in China. The ‘A’ Shares that make up this index are not available to offshore traders. The iShares China ETF, $FXI, is an alternative but it is only 25 stocks and those that have deep pockets and mainly backed by the Government. But it gets you looking there. And it looks pretty good on its own merits. The short term consolidation int eh yellow box in a bull flag would target 43.30 on a break higher and the longer term Measured Move from the June low seeks 45. It only has resistance at 42 from January in its way. Look for a break over 40.15 as an entry.
