# ETFs: Uptrend Pullbacks Near 150-Day SMA
**Query:** ETF pullbacks
**Data as of:** 2026-10-13

45 US-listed ETFs are in an established uptrend (50D above 150D MA) yet have pulled back over the past month and are trading within 8% of their 150-day moving average, as of October 13, 2026. Ranked by 1-year total return. The list is dominated by international and emerging-market equity funds - Korea, Japan, Asia, Latin America and broad EM - plus value, biotech and commodity-linked strategies. These are trend-intact vehicles digesting a short-term dip rather than broken charts.

### Uptrending ETFs Pulling Back Within 8% of the 150-Day SMA

| Symbol | Name | ETF Theme | 1D Return | 1M Return | 6M Return | 1Y Return | % from 150D SMA | % from 52W High | Rel Volume | Technical Setup | Top Holdings | Comments |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| EWY | iShares MSCI South Korea ETF | South Korea | -2.09% | -5.48% | 13.55% | 110.98% | -2.97% | -24.01% | 1.3646 | Uptrend | 000660.KQ, 005930.KQ, 402340.KQ, 009150.KQ, 105560.KQ, 055550.KQ, 005380.KQ, 086790.KQ, 034020.KQ, 012450.KQ | Korea is the single biggest swing factor on this list: memory-heavy index with Samsung and SK Hynix dominating the top holdings, so the fund trades as a leveraged proxy on the semiconductor cycle rather than as a country bet. The deep drawdown from the 52-week high against a still-intact uptrend structure means this is a high-beta dip — sizing matters more than the entry. |
| VLUE | iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF | Value Factor | -0.68% | -1.59% | 27.82% | 63.70% | 6.88% | -4.38% | 0.6712 | Uptrend | MU, CSCO, GM, VZ, T, HPE, BAC, DELL, PFE, QCOM | Unusual setup: a plain US large-cap value fund sitting in an intact uptrend while most domestic risk factors have cooled. Semiconductor and hardware value names are doing the heavy lifting, so the 'value' label is really a cyclical-cash-flow bet dressed in factor clothing. |
| AIA | iShares Asia 50 ETF | Asia 50 | -1.38% | -0.20% | 16.36% | 53.41% | 3.71% | -9.09% | 0.7059 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 0700.HK, 9988.HK, 2454.TW, 000660.KQ, D05.SI, 00939, 2308.TW, 1299.HK | Concentrated Asia-50 vehicle dominated by Taiwan semis, Chinese internet and Korean memory — effectively a one-ticket bet on the North Asian tech supply chain. The shallow pullback relative to the still-wide drawdown from the high suggests the index has been rebuilding for months rather than just wobbling. |
| ICOP | iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF | Copper Mining | -1.42% | -0.41% | 1.01% | 46.04% | 3.17% | -11.83% | 0.4386 | Uptrend | AAL.L, FCX, GMEXICOB.MX, BHP.AX, TECK-B.TO, SCCO, NEM, ANTO.L, LUN.TO, FM.TO | Pure-play copper and diversified miners. The thesis is electrification and grid capex demand against structurally slow mine supply; the risk is that a firmer dollar and softer Chinese property data pressure the metals complex. Watch the underlying copper price more than the equity chart. |
| XBI | State Street SPDR S&P Biotech ETF | Biotech | -3.04% | -6.85% | 8.27% | 40.42% | 1.56% | -13.42% | 1.1269 | Uptrend | TWST, MRNA, NTRA, IOVA, AMGN, BIIB, UTHR, ABBV, HALO, SYRE | Equal-weighted biotech, which means no mega-cap cushion — the sharp one-month slide reflects the recent washout in clinical-stage and neurology names rather than a change in the underlying science. Historically this is the highest-torque vehicle for a biotech risk-on turn, but it needs a catalyst to reverse sentiment. |
| GVAL | Cambria Global Value ETF | Global Value | 0.36% | -0.32% | 8.92% | 38.91% | 7.02% | -2.84% | 0.4723 | Upward channel (21%), Uptrend | ATS.VI, MONET.PR, MINEROS.CL, FXFXX, GRUPOSURA.CL, KOMB.PR, CEZ.PR, KGH.WA, RBI.VI, TUPRS.IS | Deep-value global portfolio with meaningful emerging-market and frontier exposure, including Eastern European banks and Latin American industrials. The upward-channel position suggests a steady grind higher rather than a momentum spike — a lower-correlation diversifier for a US-heavy book. |
| PATN | Pacer Nasdaq International Patent Leaders ETF | Patent Leaders | -0.93% | -0.40% | 11.58% | 37.50% | 1.58% | -9.21% | 0.7732 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, ASML.AS, 0700.HK, ROP.SW, 7203.T, NOVN.SW, SAP.DE, 2454.TW | Niche but clever construction: holds patent-heavy international names across semis, pharma and industrials. Limited liquidity and a small asset base mean spreads are wide — this is a buy-and-hold idea, not a trading vehicle. |
| VPL | Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF | Pacific | -0.50% | -1.90% | 6.99% | 35.21% | 2.15% | -6.11% | 0.7688 | Uptrend | 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 8306.T, BHP.AX, 7203.T, CBA.AX, 8316.T, 8035.T, 6098.T, 6857.T | Broad developed-Pacific ex-Japan basket, spanning Australian miners, Korean tech and Japanese industrials. Straightforward way to own the region's uptrend without single-country concentration risk; currency is an unhedged component of the return stream. |
| EWJV | iShares MSCI Japan Value ETF | Japan Value | 0.61% | -3.38% | 9.89% | 35.16% | 5.82% | -4.17% | 0.5119 | Uptrend | 8306.T, 7203.T, 8316.T, 8411.T, 9984.T, 8058.T, 8031.T, 6752.T, 9433.T, 6981.T | Value tilt inside Japan means banks, autos and trading houses rather than the high-multiple growth names the market usually talks about. The pullback reflects yen and rate expectations more than earnings deterioration — a reflation-sensitive expression of the Japan story. |
| SEIV | SEI Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Value Factor ETF | US Large Cap Value | 0.02% | -1.42% | 16.67% | 34.48% | 6.21% | -3.02% | 0.4853 | Uptrend | NVDA, AAPL, MU, GOOG, VZ, CAH, GM, MSFT, C, PRU | Actively managed large-cap value that still holds megacap growth names, which blurs the factor purity but explains the relative resilience. The manager's flexibility is the differentiator versus a rules-based value index. |
| VFMF | Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF | Multifactor | 0.26% | -0.38% | 13.05% | 34.00% | 5.91% | -2.26% | 0.8534 | Uptrend | MU, BMY, NEM, TRV, MO, BNY, COP, MRK, EOG, ABBV | Multifactor construction (value, momentum, quality, low-vol) that keeps producing steady trend behavior across regimes. The trade-off is that factor blending dilutes the upside when any single style leads decisively. |
| IBB | iShares Biotechnology ETF | Biotechnology | -2.08% | -2.23% | 13.77% | 33.66% | 7.91% | -7.81% | 0.6961 | Upward channel (0%), Uptrend | GILD, AMGN, VRTX, REGN, MRNA, NTRA, ARGX, ILMN, RVMD, BIIB | Cap-weighted biotech led by large-cap pharma-adjacent names, making it far more defensive than the equal-weighted peer. The upward channel right at the lower boundary is the tell — the trend is intact but the fund is testing the floor of its range. |
| IDHQ | Invesco S&P International Developed Quality ETF | International Developed Quality | -0.02% | -0.42% | 13.04% | 32.55% | 5.18% | -5.98% | 1.3884 | Uptrend | ASML.AS, ROP.SW, NOVN.SW, NESN.SW, SAP.DE, RR.L, 6857.T, ABBN.SW, 6098.T, ALV.DE | Quality screen applied outside the US, tilting to high-return-on-capital European and Japanese industrials, luxury and healthcare. A steadier compounder than the region's value funds; the risk is that 'quality' gets de-rated if global rates push higher. |
| GMOI | GMO International Value ETF | International Value | 1.00% | -4.51% | 5.13% | 31.99% | 2.53% | -5.94% | 0.2114 | Uptrend | TTE.PA, BNS.TO, BNP.PA, RIO, BBVA, 9432.T, SNY, GSK, TD, DBK.DE | Deep-value international portfolio built around European energy, banks and materials — the classic 'cheap for a reason' bucket that has been re-rating as capital returns improve. Thin trading volume means use limit orders. |
| EMGF | iShares Emerging Markets Equity Factor ETF | Emerging Markets Multi-Factor | -0.57% | -0.82% | 7.07% | 30.71% | 1.61% | -7.79% | 0.3112 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 0700.HK, 2454.TW, 9988.HK, 00939, 2308.TW, 01398, 2317.TW | Multi-factor emerging-market exposure with heavy Asian tech weight and a value/quality tilt. The factor overlay is a meaningful differentiator versus plain EM cap-weighted funds, which are far more concentrated in a handful of names. |
| FYX | First Trust Small Cap Core AlphaDEX Fund | US Small Cap Core | 0.07% | -2.36% | 6.69% | 30.43% | 0.75% | -7.55% | 0.7579 | Uptrend | TXG, TWST, EFOR, CBZ, PBF, LPG, PGEN, PARR, INSW, CNMD | Small-cap core with an equal-weight-ish smart-beta construction, so no single mega name can mask breadth. Small caps remain the most rate-sensitive corner of the market — the intact uptrend is notable given how many peers have broken down. |
| DFUV | Dimensional US Marketwide Value ETF | US Marketwide Value | -0.07% | -0.99% | 11.61% | 30.16% | 4.34% | -3.07% | 0.7287 | Uptrend | JPM, AMZN, XOM, MU, JNJ, BRK-B, CVX, INTC, META, CSCO | Market-wide value tilt with meaningful energy and financial weight, which ties its fate to the ongoing rotation into cash-generative cyclicals. Diversified enough that it does not depend on any single sector call. |
| COPY | Tweedy, Browne Insider + Value ETF | Insider Value | 1.04% | -1.59% | 8.09% | 29.79% | 3.64% | -3.49% | 1.2858 | Uptrend | EB5.SI, BKT.MC, DINO, REP.MC, PEY.TO, IGG.L, 086790.KQ, NORION.ST, BME.L, NA.TO | Unusual insider-signal plus value mandate holding a globally scattered book of smaller caps and even a Singapore-listed name. Idiosyncratic by design and benchmark-agnostic — the value-add is the manager's insider-following process, not the index. |
| AAXJ | iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan ETF | Asia ex Japan | -0.66% | -0.80% | 8.01% | 29.71% | 1.33% | -8.53% | 1.1658 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 0700.HK, 9988.HK, 2454.TW, D05.SI, 005935, 2308.TW, 00939 | Asia ex-Japan with Taiwan and China tech leading; effectively a broadened version of the single-country tech trade. Heavier China weight than most peers means policy headlines in Beijing are a first-order risk factor. |
| EWJ | iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund | Japan | 0.00% | -0.27% | 9.44% | 29.54% | 5.62% | -2.01% | 0.5013 | Uptrend | 8306.T, 7203.T, 8035.T, 8316.T, 6857.T, 6501.T, 9984.T, 6098.T, 6758.T, 285A.T | The plain-vanilla Japan index — auto, bank and industrial exporters with a modest tech sleeve. Its presence here alongside more specialized Japan funds suggests the pullback is broad rather than sector-specific. |
| ESGE | iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF | Emerging Markets ESG | -0.73% | -0.17% | 7.77% | 29.53% | 2.61% | -6.09% | 0.6739 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 0700.HK, 2454.TW, 9988.HK, 00939, 2308.TW, 005935, 2412.TW | ESG-screened emerging-market portfolio that ends up with similar geographic exposure to mainstream EM funds but excludes tobacco, weapons and some energy. The screening creates a slight growth tilt versus the benchmark. |
| JVAL | JPMorgan U.S. Value Factor ETF | U.S. Value Factor | 0.05% | -0.01% | 14.39% | 29.53% | 5.12% | -2.99% | 5.3328 | Uptrend | META, MU, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, NVDA, AVGO, JNJ, LRCX, AMAT | Rules-based US value with a genuinely deep-value bent, holding megacap tech at discounted multiples alongside traditional value sectors — an unusual blend that hedges against pure factor timing. |
| EEMA | iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Asia ETF | Emerging Markets Asia | -0.38% | -1.07% | 8.52% | 29.50% | 1.77% | -6.53% | 0.2043 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 0700.HK, 9988.HK, 2454.TW, 2308.TW, 00939, 2317.TW, HDFCBANK.NS | Asia-focused EM slice with Taiwan and China dominating; essentially a narrower cousin of the all-Asia funds on this list, which means overlap is high if you own more than one of these. |
| JIVE | JPMorgan International Value ETF | International Value | 0.65% | -3.54% | 5.78% | 29.14% | 2.32% | -5.26% | 0.9656 | Uptrend | 005930.KQ, 2330.TW, SHEL.L, NESN.SW, TD, HSBA.L, ROP.SW, NOVN.SW, RY, BBVA.MC | International value with a European and Japanese bank/energy tilt plus some Canadian financials. The currency-hedged question is worth thinking about: an unhedged version of this trade carries a dollar-translation component. |
| EEM | iShares MSCI Emerging Index Fund | Emerging Markets | -0.62% | -0.38% | 6.17% | 29.05% | 1.47% | -7.68% | 1.1071 | Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 0700.HK, 9988.HK, 2454.TW, 005935, 2308.TW, 00939, 2317.TW | The benchmark emerging-market fund — increasingly an Asian tech proxy given index concentration. The uptrend with only a modest pullback suggests EM has been one of the more resilient risk buckets through the recent turbulence. |
| TDI | Touchstone Dynamic International ETF | International Equity | 0.11% | -0.64% | 4.20% | 28.86% | 2.91% | -3.10% | 0.831 | Upward channel (13%), Uptrend | 2330.TW, DGCXX, ASML.AS, 005930.KQ, ISP.MI, UCG.MI, 2914.T, 000660.KQ, O39.SI, 6758.T | Actively managed international equity with an upward channel and a wide geographic spread across European industrials, Japanese names and Asian tech. The active mandate lets the managers rotate country weight as relative momentum shifts. |
| AVDV | Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF | International Small Cap Value | 0.51% | -1.79% | 3.16% | 28.61% | 2.76% | -4.55% | 0.7365 | Upward channel (29%), Uptrend | ATS.VI, PRU.AX, BGEO.L, WTB.L, CLIS.TA, BTO.TO, BRBY.L, OGC.TO, RRL.AX, CDE | Small-cap international value spanning European banks, Japanese industrials and Australian miners. Small caps abroad trade at a persistent discount to large caps, and the upward channel reflects that gap starting to close — with correspondingly higher volatility. |
| DFIV | Dimensional International Value ETF | International Value | 1.03% | -3.47% | 2.70% | 27.75% | 1.86% | -5.20% | 0.9705 | Uptrend | SHEL, TTE.PA, SAN.MC, 7203.T, BAS.DE, HSBC, 8316.T, TD, BAYN.DE, SHEL.L | Systematic international value with large weight in European energy, banks and Japanese autos. Overlaps meaningfully with the other developed-value funds here, so it works best as a single holding rather than stacked alongside peers. |
| AMLP | Alerian MLP ETF | MLP | 0.00% | -4.99% | 6.21% | 27.70% | 0.60% | -6.19% | 0.8011 | Uptrend | SUN, MPLX, PAA, WES, ET, EPD, HESM, CQP, USAC, GEL | Midstream MLPs: fee-based energy infrastructure with distribution yields that are largely insulated from the crude price itself. The recent dip tracks the broad pullback in energy equities rather than any deterioration in pipeline volumes. |
| GREK | Global X MSCI Greece ETF | Greece | 0.10% | -6.12% | 12.41% | 27.21% | 6.85% | -7.51% | 0.6521 | Uptrend | ETE.AT, EUROB.AT, TPEIR.AT, ALPHA.AT, MOH.AT, PPC.AT, MTLN.L, GEKTERNA.AT, OPTIMA.AT, HTO.AT | Greek banks and utilities driving one of the strongest multi-year recoveries in developed markets. The larger pullback here reflects profit-taking after a big run; the uptrend structure remains intact, but single-country liquidity risk is real. |
| THD | iShares MSCI Thailand ETF | Thailand | -0.27% | -3.05% | -0.39% | 26.83% | 0.43% | -5.18% | 14.1458 | Upward channel (0%), Uptrend | DELTA-R, PTT-R, ADVANC-R, AOT-R, GULF-R, CPALL-R, BDMS-R, PTTEP-R, SCC-R, KTB-R | Thailand is an outlier on this list: tourism- and consumption-led with a weak six-month return, so it is the least 'momentum' name here. The uptrend is more likely a bottoming structure than a mature trend — note the outsized relative volume, a sign of unusual activity around the move. |
| COWZ | Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF | Cash Flow | 0.60% | -2.08% | 12.28% | 26.83% | 6.04% | -4.57% | 0.7264 | Uptrend | QCOM, VLO, MPC, GEV, PFE, SNDK, GILD, ACN, CVX, MO | Cash-flow-weighted large caps in energy, refining, pharma and hardware — a quality-value hybrid that has benefited from the rotation toward cash-generative cyclicals. Refinery-heavy exposure ties part of the return to crack spreads rather than crude. |
| COM | Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF | Commodity | -0.14% | -0.13% | 7.39% | 25.88% | 4.13% | -2.05% | 0.9628 | Uptrend | — | Long-only commodity strategy across energy, metals and agriculture using momentum signals, so it is a rules-based diversifier rather than a static basket. The recent calm reflects commodities consolidating rather than trending. |
| RLY | State Street Multi-Asset Real Return ETF | Multi-Asset Real Return | 0.62% | -0.04% | 3.12% | 25.76% | 3.03% | -2.28% | 1.2172 | Uptrend | GNR, CERY, GII, TIPX, XLE, RWR, XME, WIP, MOO, RWX | Multi-asset real-return portfolio blending TIPS, commodities, energy and global REITs — an inflation-hedging sleeve rather than an equity beta vehicle. Useful as a portfolio ballast; the trade-off is muted upside in risk-on tapes. |
| DISV | Dimensional International Small Cap Value ETF | International Small Cap Value | 0.89% | -2.14% | 4.86% | 25.74% | 3.40% | -4.67% | 0.7884 | Uptrend | SPSN.SW, CA.PA, 5711.T, SYENS.BR, EVK.DE, KGF.L, CG.TO, BTO.TO, FME.DE, WCP.TO | International small-cap value with European and Japanese exposure, including some names with takeover appeal. Liquidity in the underlying holdings is thinner than the fund's own shares suggest, which shows up in wider spreads during stress. |
| RWJ | Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 Revenue ETF | US Small Cap Revenue Weighted | 0.56% | -3.49% | 7.78% | 25.46% | 0.86% | -8.77% | 0.9853 | Uptrend | WKC, UNFI, KMX, LNC, GPI, MAN, KSS, GT, ABG, ADNT | Revenue-weighted small caps, which avoids the profitability screens that have kept many small caps out of index funds — retail, auto and industrial names dominate. The near-double-digit drawdown from the high while the trend holds makes this a genuine buy-the-dip candidate. |
| AVGE | Avantis All Equity Markets ETF | Global All Cap | 0.13% | -0.21% | 7.44% | 25.15% | 3.10% | -2.68% | 0.6335 | Upward channel (10%), Uptrend | AVUS, AVLV, AVDE, AVEM, AVIV, AVUV, AVSC, AVES, AVRE, AVMC | A fund-of-Avantis-funds structure giving one-ticket access to a globally diversified value and small-cap stack. The upward channel position reflects a slow, broad-based grind — the opposite of a single-theme trade. |
| CORO | iShares International Country Rotation Active ETF | International Country Rotation | 0.19% | -1.48% | 5.03% | 24.98% | 1.84% | -4.00% | 0.5045 | Uptrend | EWJ, EWC, EWL, EWP, EWY, EWU, EWD, EWT, TSM, EWH | Rules-based country rotation that shifts international equity exposure based on relative momentum, currently skewing toward Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Its active rotation means holdings can turn over quickly — check the current country mix before treating it as a static bet. |
| RWL | Invesco S&P 500 Revenue ETF | US Large Cap Revenue Weighted | 0.17% | -0.28% | 11.79% | 24.35% | 5.13% | -1.92% | 1.0164 | Uptrend | AMZN, WMT, AAPL, UNH, MCK, BRK-B, CVS, XOM, MSFT, NVDA | Revenue-weighted S&P 500 exposure, which caps the influence of the priciest megacaps and tilts toward consumer staples, retail and healthcare distributors. Historically a lower-valuation, lower-drawdown version of the index. |
| EFV | iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF | Developed Markets Value | 0.90% | -3.84% | 3.17% | 24.06% | 1.71% | -5.09% | 0.5542 | Uptrend | HSBA.L, SHEL.L, 8306.T, NESN.SW, ROP.SW, ALV.DE, 7203.T, NOVN.SW, TTE.PA, 8316.T | The classic EAFE value basket: European banks, energy majors and Japanese industrials. Its fate is tightly linked to the global rate and currency cycle — the recent dip reflects dollar strength as much as anything else. |
| SCJ | iShares MSCI Japan Sm Cap | Japan Small Cap | 0.27% | -0.24% | 8.34% | 24.02% | 5.32% | -0.78% | 0.5886 | Upward channel (26%), Uptrend | 6963.T, 5831.T, 7167.T, 8354.T, 6976.T, 3436.T, 5333.T, 9147.T, 5334.T, 2768.T | Japanese small caps, a segment that has lagged the large-cap Japan trade for years and may be a catch-up candidate. Lightly traded and unhedged, so the yen moves matter as much as the equity tape. |
| IWS | iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF | US Mid-Cap Value | 0.26% | -0.48% | 8.39% | 23.71% | 3.15% | -4.62% | 0.5664 | Uptrend | PSX, HPE, WBD, MRNA, DLR, KMI, MPC, AME, ALL, BKR | US mid-cap value spanning energy, healthcare and industrials — a middle-of-the-road allocation that has quietly kept pace while large-cap growth dominates the headlines. Mid caps often carry more takeover optionality than large caps. |
| DBB | Invesco DB Base Metals Fund | Base Metals | -0.44% | -0.08% | 0.20% | 23.54% | 0.22% | -5.97% | 0.9605 | Uptrend | AGPXX | Base-metals futures fund holding copper, aluminum and zinc via commodity contracts, not mining equities. Note the structure drag from contango and the near-empty equity holdings list — this is a pure metals price exposure, not a producer exposure. |
| HFXI | NYLI FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF | International Equity Hedged | -0.03% | -1.42% | 3.40% | 23.53% | 0.48% | -4.89% | 1.4891 | Upward channel (0%), Uptrend | 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, ASML.AS, HSBA.L, ROP.SW, NOVN.SW, 8306.T, SHEL.L, BHP.AX, NESN.SW | Currency-hedged international equity, which strips out the yen and euro translation effect that has been a drag on unhedged peers. Attractive if you want the equity trend without a view on the dollar — note the upper-range volume reading. |
| DFAX | Dimensional World ex U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF | World ex-US | 0.22% | -1.07% | 2.92% | 23.51% | 1.74% | -4.17% | 0.9029 | Upward channel (16%), Uptrend | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, TSM, 000660.KQ, ASML, NVS, RY, TTE.PA, SHEL, 0700.HK | Broad world ex-US core exposure with a value/small-cap tilt and a wide country spread. A sensible single-line international core holding; overlaps with several other funds here, so avoid double-counting. |

These are **ETFs whose trend structure is still intact but whose price has dipped back toward its 150-day moving average**. Concretely: the 50-day average sits above the 150-day average (an established uptrend), the fund has lost ground over the past month, and it trades within 8% of the 150-day SMA — closer than the 52-week high it came from.

Stocks and funds that pull back into the 150-day average while the longer trend holds are the classic "buy the dip inside a trend" setup. The 150-day line is a common institutional trend filter; losing it usually flips a position from accumulating to distributing.

## What the list is telling us

The screen is **overwhelmingly non-US**. Korean, Japanese, broader Asian, emerging-market and international value funds make up the bulk of the names, and the highest 1-year returns are concentrated in North Asian tech-heavy indices. The common thread is that global ex-US equity has been in a sustained uptrend while a stronger dollar and rotating sector leadership have produced a one-month air pocket.

Domestic entries are mostly **value, cash-flow and revenue-weighted strategies** — a reflection of the current rotation toward cash-generative cyclicals rather than long-duration growth. There is also a biotech cluster (both cap-weighted and equal-weighted) and a handful of commodity and real-asset vehicles.

## How to use it

- **Check where the pullback came from.** A fund sitting a few percent below its 52-week high on a shallow dip is a very different risk than one 24% off its high that has merely bounced back to its moving average.
- **Watch the volume.** Relative volume above 1 on a down month can signal distribution rather than a healthy pause.
- **Mind the overlap.** Several of these funds hold the same Korean memory, Taiwanese semiconductor and Chinese internet names. Three entries in this table can easily mean one underlying bet.
- **Currency is a factor.** Most of these are unhedged, so the same dollar strength that has pressured the last month of returns also creates the dip being screened for.

*Trend and moving-average signals are mechanical and can flip quickly; this is a starting watchlist, not a recommendation.*
