For new fund investors, there are no apparent stage 2 breakouts, so the Weinstein bets seem to still be on the strong stage 2s for US and Japan.

The charts show daily, but weekly are similar.

but Australia EWA looks a breakdown of both support and of the 30-week MA, like Asia excluding Japan EPP.
Latin ILF and Bricks BKF are still sideways.
UK EWU and Europe FEZ have reversed a little at resistance, but still look OK,
but not as good as USA Russell IWF (nor Japan)
With only USA and Japan looking still in good weekly uptrends the global stockmarket strength is narrow.
UK and Europe will be the ones to watch for further retreat from the resistance level
I have changed this to 2-year graphs, to make the last few weeks clearer.

My last ipdate 5 weeks ago was following a big move downwards in mid May.
The regions looking weaker above, Japan, Europe and UK, Brics and Latin, indeed turned weaker, and so, with only USA IWM in stage 2, this year has been a "Sell in May" year.
This also suggests that any big weekly price move down, even when still in stage 2 or 3, means it is not enough to monitor just monthly but you need to monitor weekly at least.
Japan EWJ was in stage 2 just about, but is now in stage 3, though still holding above a rising 30 wk WMA.
Europe FEZ and UK EWU have now broken below a still rising 30 wk WMA, so holders should be selling. They are stage 3 at best and in a couple of weeks could be stage 4s. 2012 lows are approx 20% below here.
Brics BKL and Latin America ILF were sideways despite the big falls 6 weeks ago, but are now clearly stage 4s
Asia excl Japan EPP and Australia EWA proceed down in stage 4.
