h3 SPY (NYSE:SPY) Trends And Influencers October 27, 2019/h3
Last week’s review of the macro market indicators saw, with October options expiration complete, equity markets had a solid week holding near recent highs with good moves higher. Elsewhere looked for Gold ($GLD) to continue to build its bull flag around 1500 while Crude Oil ($USO) consolidated. The US Dollar Index ($DXY) continued to move lower while US Treasuries ($TLT) pulled back in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite ($ASHR) looked to pullback in consolidation while Emerging Markets ($EEM) pulled back in their short term move higher.
Volatility ($VXXB) had eased and looked to remain low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s $SPY, $IWM and $QQQ. The SPY and QQQ both broke higher to retest near the highs and looked to continue to have an easier path higher. The IWM continued to churn in a wide consolidation though but put in the strongest week of the 3, perhaps finally ready to lead.
The week played out with Gold holding at 1500 until breaking to the upside at the end of the week while Crude Oil broke consolidation higher midweek as well. The US Dollar found support and bounced but in what looks like a bear flag while Treasuries held in place after an early week dip recovered. The Shanghai Composite found support and turned sideways while Emerging Markets held at the recent top.
Volatility retreated slightly late week, continuing to allow equities to move higher and putting a wind at their back. The Equity Index ETF’s all started the week moving higher. The SPY and QQQ gave some back midweek but then reversed to finish strong. The IWM held the Monday move the rest of the week. What does this mean for the coming week? Let’s look at some charts.
