Corporate High Yield Bond ETF (HYG) - Update


iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) is the largest U,S. corporate high yield bond exchange traded fund (ETF) with total assets exceeding $13.5 million at the time this article was written.

Below is 5-year, daily chart for HYG with support and resistance lines.  The chart patterns and associated annotation/interpretation are essentially the same as that posted for VWEHX in the previous post here.  So the same discussion will not be reproduced here. Please see the previous post.  However, do note that overbought conditions (RSI over 70) do not currently exist for HYG; although it appears that historically (during the chart's time period), the RSI rarely exceeded 70 (for the 20-day period parameter setting that we use).
