That&rsquo;s an incredible 384% move.<\/p>\n<p>ARKK was the definition of peak bull market mania.<\/p>\n<p>Investors flocked to the fund, eager to buy into Wood&rsquo;s vision of the future.<\/p>\n<p>The holdings in her ETF were all selected because of their ability to change the way the world works.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla, for example, makes up about 10% of the entire holdings. Wood believes that Tesla is the future of human transportation, with its coming fleet of robo-taxis completely disrupting the auto and rideshare industries as we know them.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, investors have been losing faith in Wood&rsquo;s stock-picking strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Since putting in its $159 high, ARKK has sold off as much as 81%, eventually finding a bottom in December 2022.<\/p>\n<p>This brings us to the current year, where ARKK has been volatile once again. The ETF started off the year on a very strong note, even rallying almost 55% between January and February.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, however, ARKK has given back as around half those gains.<\/p>\n<p>And right now, my technical analysis of ARKK suggests that there&rsquo;s another big move just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look at a price chart of ARKK so I can walk you through what I see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--IMG SNIP--><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202305\/20230510-JMU-01_mwr231.png\"><\/p>\n<p>This price chart has a constellation of important moving averages (MAs) all trading in a very tight range of prices.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;re looking at the 20-, 50-, and 200-daily MAs. Notice how they&rsquo;re all clustering tightly together. This means that the market is gearing up for an explosive move, either higher or lower.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how either scenario could play out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--GREY BOX START--><\/p>\n<div class=\"card bg-light mb-4\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Free Trading Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out Jeff&#8217;s free trading resources on his website?

An equivalent rally this time would see ARKK trading around $49.50.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the bearish case would see ARKK break down below the December 2022 low of $29.64.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, the MA constellation will serve as resistance, effectively putting a lid on any immediate upside.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that while both scenarios are possible, the market will let us know in just the next few days which way prices will break.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, there&rsquo;s a great trading opportunity at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Happy trading,<br \/> Imre Gams<\/p>\n<p><!-- MAILBAG BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px; margin-bottom:20px; margin-top:0px; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -1px;text-transform:uppercase;\">READER MAILBAG<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Are you bullish or bearish on ARKK?
