Certainly, there are some interesting international ETF’s from a technical standpoint. I only have price and volume on these, but no breadth, no sentiment, etc. Sometimes, the simpler the technical analysis, the better. It is noteworthy that many of these bullish charts are just breaking out this year and potentially have a lot of catching up to do vs. the U.S. The last real S&P 500 breakout on a weekly chart was back in the middle of 2016. This leaves the “500” quite extended from its base vs. many of these international ETF’s just leaving their weekly base.
