Shares of all three ETFs have closed in oversold territory above the 200-day moving average for two out of the past three days. UWM in specific has closed lower above the 200-day for four out of the past five trading days.

Like HYG, shares of the JNK have also made new short-term lows. JNK closed on Monday at its most oversold since rallying from the 200-day moving average in late August.
Two country funds have joined a growing number of country funds that have pulled back to oversold territory above the 200-day. These ETFs include European representative such as the ^EWP^ and the ^EWQ^ (below).
Shares of EWQ actually closed in oversold territory above the 200-day for two days in a row last week before bouncing modestly back into neutral territory. The pullback on Monday was just enough to pull the ETF into oversold territory ahead of Tuesday’s trading.
