Purely from a technical perspective, the 14-month chart pattern
of the iShares Germany Index Fund ETF (NYSE: EWG) depicted by the
enclosed graphic shows a 7-month uptrend juxtaposed against an 8
1/2-month top. In fact, we can make the case that the EWG's rounded
top formation is so formidable that my work is warning me to expect
a potential parabolic downside round trip that first revisits the
July low at 16.75 on the way back to the Mar '09 low at 12.47. Yes,
that is so difficult to believe, but that is what this picture
reflects.
From an extreme near-term basis, however, I would not be
surprised to see the EWG spend some time in a relief rally that
grinds up towards 20.00 prior to resuming weakness towards new
post-crash lows. If such a scenario unfolds, then it will be
discounting forthcoming problems in Germany's commitment to the
rest of the EC - to put it mildly.
