Up Next: Bonus Idea
After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which heading into the next week sees Equity markets are strong but mixed with the IWM lagging the SPY (NYSE:SPY) and that trailing a red hot QQQ.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its short term downtrend while Crude Oil races higher. The US Dollar Index looks to continue its move up while US Treasuries join it in their short term trend higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets look to consolidate their gains at multi-year highs.
Volatility looks to remain non-existent keeping the wind at the backs of the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ). The QQQ looks to continue higher leading the charge with the SPY moving up at a slower pace and the IWM sitting on the curb, watching as it consolidates. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
