AI is a technologically complex theme.<\/p>\n<p>Picking the sure winners while avoiding the losers can be tricky.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">A Basket of Stocks<\/h2>\n<p>This is where an ETF can be very helpful. An ETF holds a basket of different stocks relating to the ETF&rsquo;s mandate.<\/p>\n<p>While there are several AI-based ETFs out there, one I have my eye on is ROBO.<\/p>\n<p>ROBO is an ETF that tracks the Global Robotics and Automation Index. ROBO will benefit greatly as the adoption of AI makes its way through industries like manufacturing and healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>But simply buying and holding ROBO for the long-term isn&rsquo;t what I&rsquo;m interested in.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s because ROBO&rsquo;s returns have historically been a mixed bag.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last five years, ROBO&rsquo;s quarter end returns are 12.14%. But over a three-year period, the returns are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboglobaletfs.com\/robo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actually -1.93%. <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This means that we should look to take short- and intermediate-term trades in ROBO instead of just hanging on for the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>And right now, ROBO&rsquo;s price chart is showing signs that it&rsquo;s getting ready for a quick and explosive burst higher.<\/p>\n<p>Since December 27, ROBO has been trading in a sideways range. This range has now clearly developed into a powerful chart pattern.<\/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?

You use two trendlines to outline the contours of the pattern. These trendlines slope towards each other, eventually reaching a point.<\/p>\n<p>As we get closer to where the two lines will meet, we should see a strong breakout.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the pattern on the chart below:<\/p>\n<p><!--IMG SNIP--><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\" align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202402\/20240214-JMU-01.png\"><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, ROBO is currently brushing up against the upper blue trendline. At the same time, prices are very close to the apex of the triangle &ndash; where the two trendlines would meet.<\/p>\n<p>This means the breakout should be happening any day.<\/p>\n<p>When it does, my expectation is that prices will run up fairly quickly to just around $60.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember &ndash; it&rsquo;s very important to be patient. The triangle pattern isn&rsquo;t confirmed until prices break out of the upper trendline.<\/p>\n<p>But if we do get the breakout, we should be able to capitalize on a nice opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Happy trading,<\/p>\n<p style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size:17px; line-height:24px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Signature\" src=\"https:\/\/files.jeffclarktrader.com\/global\/signatures\/imre-gams-signature.png\" width=\"140\" style=\"max-width:140px; width:100%;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Imre Gams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The megatrend in the markets right now is all about AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"service":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"publication":[10],"person":[76],"newsletter-type":[],"ticker":[],"class_list":["post-21579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-minute","publication-market-minute","person-imre-gams"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21579\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21579"},{"taxonomy":"publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication?post=21579"},{"taxonomy":"person","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person?post=21579"},{"taxonomy":"newsletter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter-type?post=21579"},{"taxonomy":"ticker","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ticker?post=21579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
