EEM has done well since the start of 2016, reflecting gains much stronger than the S&P 500. Over the past five years, EEM has little to brag about, as the gains have been pretty much non-existent.

This week EEM was able to put in a “weekly close” above highs at its resistance zone (1) above. This breakout is a positive price signal and could attract buyers due to the breakout. The next key upside test for EEM comes in at the $50 zone, around 10% above current prices.
