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 with another Fed rate hike behind it and now the prospect of trade wars, saw the equity markets finish the week breaking down and looking weak.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in its uptrend while Crude Oil also moves higher. The US Dollar Index seems content to move sideways while US Treasuries are biased to continue to the upside. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are biased to the downside within broad consolidation.
Volatility looks to remain elevated keeping the bias lower 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 show short term weakness continuing and for the first time in years the prospect of intermediate term weakness in the SPY and IWM. The QQQ remains the best chart on the longer timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
