HYG - Weekly and Daily Chart Analysis Indicates Rally May Continue?



The weekly closing price chart for Corporate High Yield Bond ETF HYG suggests the high yield bond rally may continue, at least for a while.  This chart suggests resistance would be encountered above 93, depending on the rate at which the rally continues, since the resistance line is rising.

As the chart shows, HYG has broken through a falling resistance line (dashed red) and remains below the rising resistance line (solid red) that lead to a short-term correction.  


HYG also remains above a long-term support line (solid green) and is relatively neutral in terms overbought/oversold per RSI (upper part of graph).

The daily chart below shows the breakout through falling resistance but also suggests that HYG may encounter some resistance around the $92 level. This line can also be drawn on the weekly chart, so in our opinion, some caution may need to be exercised sooner than later as the current price is about $91.30.
