Up Next: Bonus Idea
After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. This week’s list contains the first five below to get you started early. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which heading into May options expiration week saw the equity markets have regained some swagger short term, but remain consolidating below all-time highs.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its short term bounce off of the bottom of a range while Crude Oil continues to move higher. The US Dollar Index may be ending its short term bounce while US Treasuries consolidate at recent lows. The Shanghai Composite is bouncing off of support but Emerging Markets continue to build a bull flag off of their January high.
Volatility looks to continue to drift lower towards very low levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts all confirmed short term uptrends this week, making higher highs following higher lows, and look set to continue. Longer term they still have work to do to resume the uptrend, with the IWM on the verge of that confirmation and the QQQ and SPY trailing behind. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
