Nevertheless, we still pointed out the trade so that more aggressive, very short-term traders could take advantage of an anticipated &#8220;quick pop&#8221; is the desired. Fast forwarding to the present, take a look at the updated chart of $FXI below:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"iShares China - $FXI buy setup\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/charts\/2012\/121129FXI.png\" alt=\"$FXI iShares China Relative Strength Chart Pattern\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Note on the chart the level where we initially said aggressive traders could buy above the two-day high (circled in pink). This was due to the relative strength of FXI, a major level of horizontal price support (the blue line), and convergence of the 50 and 200-day moving averages (teal and orange lines respectively). Thereafter, FXI generally trended higher, but not in a very steady fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday (November 28), like most stocks and ETFs in the market, FXI gapped down sharply lower, but reversed to close at its intraday high and back above its 20-day exponential moving average (beige line). This followed a normal four-day pullback from its November 23 high. <strong>This has created an ideal pullback buy setup in FXI,<\/strong> which has a positive reward to risk ratio for swing trade entry above yesterday&#8217;s high.
