Technical analysis indicates that a new, strong downtrend could be forthcoming with short positions favored. Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $18.17, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that iShares Global Clean Energy ETF is trading below its fair value. Technical chart analysis shows iShares Global Clean Energy ETF could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 14 cents away from $18.04.
