Corporate High Yield Bond ETF (HYG) At Underside of Resistance?


The 7-year chart below (weekly closing prices) shows that corporate high yield bond ETF HYG rallied yesterday (Friday, 11/21/2014) but now may be at the underside of a line (R1) that has periodically acted as both resistance and support back into 2009.

On the shorter-term (1-year) weekly chart below it appears that HYG is trading down within the confines of a descending channel (blue lines).

So was Friday the start of significant rally or just a very short-term counter-trend head fake that will test the underside of resistance leading to lower prices?  Can HYG break out of the descending channel?  If prices continue to decline will support line S1 hold?   We shall see.
