Near-Term Relief for Italy ETF Due to Fragile Banking Sector

“In terms of Elliott wave structure, the Italy ETF (EWI) appears to have spent the past seven years tracing a corrective triangle. The pattern has the characteristic converging range, and each leg has consisted of three smaller sub-waves,” according to See It Market.

“Although the triangle scenario is not certain, it makes sense to treat it as the most likely pattern for now. In that case, the main target area to watch for wave [e]is near 15.20 to 16.40. Since triangles are time-wasting formations, it could take a year or longer for price to reach that area. A patient trader might see nearly a 45% increase in share value,” notes See It Market regarding EWI.
