iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF is in a strong, established uptrend. The Trend & Momentum Score reads 89/100 with price above all major moving averages in bullish alignment. Price is 20.3% above the 200-day moving average — a substantial distance that reflects the strength of the long-term move but also suggests the asset is far from its long-term mean.
Is momentum building or fading?
Momentum is positive across all timeframes — 10-day (1.9%), 21-day (3.9%), and 63-day (18.5%) rate of change are all in positive territory — though the alignment suggests the pace of gains is stabilising rather than accelerating. RSI at 65 reflects healthy bullish momentum without reaching overbought levels — there is room for further upside before the indicator signals caution. The MACD histogram is positive, confirming the momentum picture — trend strength and directional indicators are in agreement.
How extended is this move?
Price sits 7.8% above the 50-day moving average, placing this extension in the 97th percentile of its historical range. The move is moderately extended — not at extremes, but above the typical range. Within the Bollinger Bands, price sits near the upper band (%B at 0.86) — in the upper range of recent volatility, suggesting the short-term move is approaching its statistical limits.
