After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. This week’s list contains the first five below to get you started early. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which as the calendar turns to March sees the equity markets again looked weak only to finish with a strong Friday, like February 9th.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue to consolidate in a broad range while Crude Oil may pause in its short term downtrend. The US Dollar Index continues to consolidate sideways while US Treasuries are consolidating after their move lower. The Shanghai Composite is biased to the downside short term and Emerging Markets look to tighten their broad consolidation at the recent top.

Volatility looks to remain elevated keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts showed big moves lower this week and then strength on Friday suggesting a possible reversal. The weekly charts are not as optimistic with red candles at lower highs. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
