Corporate High Yield Bond ETFs and MUTF Testing Break Back Above Long-Term Support on Weekly Chart


As the three charts below show (weekly closing prices), the ETFs HYG and JNK, and mutual fund NHINX, ended the week on a relatively long-term rising support line (solid green) that was regained in late January 2015 during the rally that started in mid-December 2014.  

The support and long-term resistance lines (solid red) form rising channel patterns.  Thus, the long-term trend (since early 2009) is still up as of this week's close.  Will it continue? I really don't know!  After this two-week correction, a rally off this support line would be a positive sign.  The upcoming week may be an important one for corporate high yield bonds.
