    Recently, many of the pure-play music stocks within the fund have been climbing the charts, indicating investors have become increasingly bullish on the industry. Sphere Entertainment Co SPHR surged 91% between Dec. 5 and March 8 before entering a consolidation period and is the sixth largest holding within the fund, weighted at 3.13%.

    Similarly, Spotify Technologies S.A. SPOT has skyrocketed 102% since Aug. 18, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc LYV has risen 40% since Oct. 27 and Tencent Music Entertainment Group TME has soared 100% since the low of $5.70 on Aug. 15.

    For investors, particularly those who believe in the power of diversification, MUSQ’s top three holdings include companies that not only play a big part in the music sector but have a toehold in a range of industries. Amazon.com, Inc AMZN is the largest holding within the ETF, weighted at 7.92%, Alphabet, Inc GOOG GOOGL is weighed at 7.07% and Apple, Inc AAPL, MUSQ’s third largest holding is weighted at 6.46%.

    The MUSQ Chart: MUSQ has been trading in a tight horizontal trading pattern between about $24.10 and $25.36 since Dec. 23. Since March 5, bullish momentum has been increasing, which is indicated by the ETF’s relative strength index (RSI), which has been making a series of higher highs and higher lows.

    • On Thursday, MUSQ was working to print an inside bar pattern on the daily chart. The pattern leans bullish in this case because the ETF formed a bullish Marubozu candlestick on Wednesday and because Thursday’s inside bar was being formed near the top of Wednesday’s range.
    • MUSQ is also trading in an uptrend, making a series of higher highs and higher lows in line with the fund’s RSI. The most recent higher high was formed on Wednesday at $25.17 and the most recent lower low was printed at the $24.76 mark on Tuesday.
    • Bullish traders want to see big bullish volume come in and break MUSQ up from Wednesday’s mother bar and then for the ETF to continue upward, breaking out above the $25.40 mark. Bearish traders want to see big bearish volume come in and drop the ETF under Tuesday’s low-of-day, which would negate the uptrend and possibly accelerate downside pressure.
    • MUSQ has resistance above at $25.36 and at $25.76 and support below at $24.78 and at $24.34.
