VWRL Weekly Chart
The weekly chart offers two possible bullish technical formations for the ETF:
- We look to be holding within an Expanding Wedge formation (dashed black lines). This pattern has an eventual bias to break to the upside.
- The last rally stalled close to the 78.6% Fibonacci level of 90.07 (from 93.36 to 77.90)

If 77.90 holds (the swing low from the week 13th of June), we could see an extension to the upside to complete a Cypher pattern known as a bearish Butterfly formation.
