Intuitive Surgical, Ticker: ISRG
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG), has plodded methodically higher since the beginning of the year. It made a high 2 weeks ago and pulled back, setting up for a chance to get in the stock if you have missed the run. The Bollinger Bands® are squeezing, often a precursor to a move, and the RSI is turning back higher after working off an overbought condition. The MACD is starting to level after pulling back. Look for a push over short term resistance to participate higher…..
NASDAQ, Ticker: NDAQ
NASDAQ, started higher in December. It paused on the move higher for a month and then resumed to a top the first of March. Since then it pulled back in a 2 steps to a low in May and then reversed. Last week it made a high near the March top and pulled back. Friday saw a bullish engulfing candle, suggesting more upside.

h3 Up Next: Bonus Idea/h3After 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 saw with Options Expiration and the June FOMC meeting in the rear view mirror, equities looking to emerge on the other side mainly unscathed. There is consolidation in the SPY (NYSE:SPY) and Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) but perhaps more damage in the QQQ.
Elsewhere look for gold to continue to pullback while crude oil trends lower. The US Dollar Index has moved to consolidation in its pullback while US Treasuries are biased to continue higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets (NYSE:EEM) are biased to the upside with the Chinese market drifting up, while Emerging Markets consolidate in their longer trend up.
Volatility looks to remain at abnormally low levels keeping a breeze at the backs of equities. Their charts show continued strength in all 3 Index ETF’s on the longer timeframe but consolidation in the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) and pullbacks in the IWM and QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ) on the shorter timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
