Looking back, breakouts above the 10-week moving average coincided with rallies that lasted roughly one to four months. The 10-week MA also acted as support numerous times during the ARK Innovation ETF’s vertical ascent from April 2020 to February 2021.
But after back-and-forth trading from May through November 2021 gave way to a waterfall decline in 2022, the ARK Innovation ETF has only managed three closes above its 10-week MA. The first occurred in late March and was followed by another sharp drawdown. The second occurred two weeks ago and was followed by a 10% drop the next week.
However, with the 10-week MA at $43.30 and the ARK Innovation ETF ending last week at $46.86, a third rendition has materialised. While the weekly closes in late March and June were only 2.4% and 3.1% above the 10-week MA, this week’s close was 8.22% above the 10-week MA.
As a result, the ARK Innovation ETF is showing its first signs of life in 2022: but will the good times last?
