Candlestick chart analysis for iShares Capped Energy Index ETF showing the breakout at $18.00

iShares Capped Energy Index ETF

The reversal of roles is an important concept in technical analysis. $18.00 was the resistance level on the weekly chart. It is now the new support level. This Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) must hold above the new support level or the breakout is nullified.

Reference the iShares website to review the holdings for the capped energy index.
