Summary: We're holding our long from $60.44 as the uptrend from the April breakout remains intact with price consolidating above $62 support and no decisive reversal on the daily chart.

Recent action shows a healthy pause after the strong rally from the March lows—EEM climbed from the $57 area in early April to over $64 mid-month before pulling back modestly to the low $62s. Today's small red candle on moderate volume didn't break key short-term support or the rising trendline from the 4/8 breakout, and the broader momentum from the post-March recovery looks preserved rather than exhausted.

Macro backdrop supports staying in the position. Emerging markets have strong tailwinds into 2026 with expected 17-20% earnings growth, particularly in tech and AI-related names that dominate EEM's top holdings like Taiwan Semiconductor. A weaker US dollar environment has historically favored EM assets, and current sentiment across outlooks remains constructive despite some geopolitical noise. We've already captured a solid 3.5-4% unrealized gain since entry while avoiding the whipsaw losses we took in March by not over-trading the volatility.

This isn't clean sideways churning that would force us to cash out—it's typical digestion after a 15%+ move in weeks. With the 7-day minimum hold horizon in mind and the trend still favoring higher prices over the next couple weeks, exiting now would be premature. We'll monitor for any breakdown below $61.50 or sharp increase in selling volume that would change the risk/reward, but right now the edge remains with staying long for further upside toward $65-66. Real money on the line means we respect the trend until it clearly bends against us.
