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 July options expiration and the height of summer earnings, sees the equity markets looking very strong.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its recent move higher while Crude Oil bounces in a channel. The US Dollar Index continues to look weak while US Treasuries continue their consolidation in a channel. The Shanghai Composite remains in a slowly rising uptrend as Emerging Markets continue their break out to the upside.
Volatility looks to remain at extremely low levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), IWM and QQQ. Their charts support this view as well on both the daily and weekly timeframes. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
