Honeywell, $HON, took two step drop, like he market, to a low at the end of December. Since then it rose back higher, breaking over the November peak in February. It continued for 2 more weeks and then met resistance and pulled back. It retested the break out area and held, reversing and heading back higher.

The April monthly chain shows biggest open interest at the 145 strike on the put side. It is almost 6 times bigger at the 160 call strike though.

June options have open interest focused from 155 to 165 on the call side and from 135 to 150 on the put side.

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 the books closed on the 1st Quarter saw equity markets have a great 3 months but end the Quarter short of their all-time highs.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue lower while Crude Oil pauses in its uptrend. The US Dollar Index looks to move up in the broad consolidation while US Treasuries are breaking higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are consolidating their gains.

Volatility looks to remain low easing pressure on the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts are mixed now with the QQQ in a solid uptrend while the SPY consolidates sideways, with the IWM pulling back in a long bull flag. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
