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 Thanksgiving behind and the holiday shopping season in full swing saw the price action in the equity markets casting a dark shadow over the festivities.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in its uptrend while Crude Oil continues to move lower. The US Dollar Index is resuming its move higher while US Treasuries are reversing to the upside. The Shanghai Composite may also be reversing higher while Emerging Markets continue to pause in their downtrend.

Volatility remains elevated and has an upward bias which is keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts all look weak on the shorter timeframe, with the QQQ the worst under the October lows and nearing the February lows. The IWM is nearing 12 month support while the SPY sits at the October low. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
