Moves with. US large-cap stocks (18% of its variance, beta 0.68); Emerging markets over US (5% of its variance, beta 0.21). These factors explain 20% of its daily moves over the last year, so most of what drives this fund is something else.
Stated objective. The iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of a broad-based index composed of Philippine equities. (from the fund's prospectus)

Quick-reference for reading the values below. Indicators combine to confirm a view — no single one is a trade signal on its own.
- SMA 20 / 50 / 200 — price above = uptrend, below = downtrend. SMA 50 crossing SMA 200 is the golden/death cross.
- EMA 12 / 26 — faster-reacting averages; 12 above 26 is short-term bullish.
- MACD — bullish when MACD > signal (green badge), bearish when below. Divergence from price often precedes reversals.
- ADX (14) — trend strength regardless of direction. <20 range, 20–25 weak trend, 25–50 trend, >50 strong trend.
- +DI / −DI — +DI > −DI favors bulls; the reverse favors bears. Read alongside ADX.
- RSI (14) — <30 oversold, >70 overbought. 40–60 is neutral; trending names can stay extreme.
- Stochastic %K / %D — <20 oversold, >80 overbought. %K crossing %D is an early momentum signal.
- Williams %R — inverted scale: <−80 oversold, >−20 overbought.
Oscillators work best in range-bound markets; in strong trends they give premature reversal signals.
- Bollinger Bands — price at upper band = overbought, lower = oversold. Narrow bands (squeeze) often precede expansion.
- OBV — cumulative volume; rising OBV confirms uptrend, falling OBV confirms downtrend. Divergence from price is a warning.
- Vol SMA 20 / Vol ROC — today's volume vs. 20-day average. Positive ROC with price move = conviction.
- ATR / True Range — average daily $ move; sizing and stop-loss reference.
- HV 20 / 30 / 60 — realized (historical) volatility. Compare to IV on the options cards: IV > HV = rich premium.
Confluence matters: trend + momentum + volume agreeing carries far more weight than any single indicator. For how these feed the spread scanner score, see the algorithm docs →

While earnings sentiment is positive, the lack of recent data means we cannot confirm this trend. The low volatility and beta suggest a lower risk profile, making EPHE an attractive option for investors seeking stability.
Recent News Sentiment Impact: The overall news sentiment has been NEUTRAL, with three neutral headlines on emerging markets ETFs and one positive headline on five economies poised for 5% growth in 2025. These headlines have not had a significant impact on the stock price, which remains range-bound.
Technical Analysis
Trend Direction:
- Short-term: Range-bound
- Medium-term: Uptrend (based on SMAs)
- Long-term: Uptrend (based on EMAs)
Support/Resistance Levels: The upper Bollinger Band ($25.24) serves as resistance, while the lower Bollinger Band ($24.05) acts as support.

Catalyst Identification: No recent earnings data available. The next potential catalyst is an upcoming earnings release, but no specific date is available.
Market Narrative: The neutral news sentiment and lack of recent earnings data have kept the market narrative at bay. The focus remains on the technical picture, with investors waiting for a breakout or breakdown from the current range.
Risk & Volatility Assessment
Beta Interpretation: EPHE has a relatively low beta (0.61) compared to SPY, indicating lower volatility and risk.

Options Market Signals: No options data available for analysis.
Downside Protection: Support levels include the lower Bollinger Band ($24.05) and SMA 50 ($24.80). Risk management considerations involve setting stop-loss levels around $23.90.
Market Context & Positioning
Sector Performance: EPHE is part of the Emerging Markets sector, which has been performing well compared to other sectors.
Institutional Activity: No significant institutional activity data available for analysis.
Correlation Analysis: The correlation with SPY is relatively low (0.38), indicating that EPHE moves less than the broader market.
Relative Valuation: EPHE is trading within a range-bound trend, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stability.
Key Levels & Action Items
Critical Price Levels:
- Support: Lower Bollinger Band ($24.05)
- Resistance: Upper Bollinger Band ($25.24)
Breakout/Breakdown Levels:

Risk Management: Set stop-loss levels around $23.90 and consider position sizing based on risk tolerance.
EPHE Options Activity & IV Rank
Each spread is ranked by a composite score built in three stages. Full documentation →
score = P(profit) × (credit / spread_width)
P(profit) from short leg delta (1 − |delta|), penalised above 85%. Credit uses mid-price to handle illiquid chains fairly.
RR and BF (30-delta) from the persisted per-symbol skew snapshot — wing strikes picked by real greeks.delta, not a moneyness proxy. Put skew boosts bull puts, penalises bear calls. High butterfly boosts iron condors. Calendars are skew-neutral.
- RSI <40 bullish / >60 bearish
- MACD crossover + histogram trend
- Price vs SMA 50 & SMA 200
- Stochastic %K <20 / >80
- Williams %R <−80 / >−20
- Blended ATR + straddle expected-move penalty
- Bollinger Band signal (+ counter-trend penalty)
- BB width — vol contraction boost for ICs
- IV rank ≥ 75 → strong boost for credit spreads
- IV rank < 25 → penalty (selling cheap vol)
- Min open interest across all legs
- OI < 100 → −0.10 · OI < 500 → −0.05
score = base_score × skew_multiplier × tech_multiplier
Both multipliers are shown per spread. Beta is informational only — ATR already captures realized vol. Full algorithm documentation →

IV(put wing) − IV(ATM), in vol pointsHow much the OTM put trades above (or below) the at-the-money strike. Measures the height of the put-side tail relative to ATM — i.e. how expensive crash insurance is on this name.
- Positive (typical) — wing IV > ATM IV. Standard equity put skew: portfolios bid up crash protection, so OTM puts trade richer than ATM.
- Near zero or negative (unusual) — wing IV ≤ ATM IV. Flat or inverted put side. Common when there's no fear demand, in tightly mean-reverting names, or right after an earnings catalyst clears.
- Percentile vs own 3-yr history: high = wings rich (good time to sell wing premium); low = wings cheap (good time to buy protection).
- Not directional — high or low wings don't predict up or down moves. It's a price tag on tail insurance, not a forecast.
IV(call wing) − IV(put wing), equal delta on each sideWhich side of the smile is the market paying up for? Measures the tilt of the surface — call skew vs put skew at matched deltas.
- Negative (typical) — puts richer than calls. Standard equity behavior: hedging demand makes puts carry a premium. Most large-caps sit in the −1 to −5 vol-point range.
- Strongly negative (< −5 pts) — heavy downside hedging, elevated fear, or an upcoming catalyst (earnings, FDA, macro event). Worth flagging.
- Positive — calls richer than puts. Unusual for equities; signals bullish momentum, short-squeeze positioning, or takeover/M&A speculation.
- Near zero — symmetric surface. Market sees roughly equal up/down risk. Rare for large-caps; more common in commodities and FX.
Wing-vs-ATM tells you how expensive the tails are. Risk Reversal tells you which side is favored. Combined:
- High wing percentile + deeply negative RR → strong put bid; stress or major event priced in. Owning protection costs a premium; selling put premium is dangerous.
- Low wing percentile + near-zero RR → complacency; insurance cheap and balanced. Good environment to add cheap downside hedges.
- Positive RR + elevated wings → call-side fear-of-missing-out; common in squeeze setups. Upside calls expensive, downside puts not bid.
Percentile is the rank of today's reading within ~3 years of this symbol's own history. High percentile = wings are rich relative to history; not a directional signal. Skew is read off the chain in real time, not from CBOE SKEW.
