Last week ended with it pushing back higher. The RSI is back over the mid line with the MACD about to cross up and turn positive. Look for continuation to participate…..

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 heading into the last week of the 1st Quarter, sees equity markets have hit a speed bump.

Elsewhere look for Gold to resume its uptrend while Crude Oil continues higher. The US Dollar Index despite all the noise remains in a broad consolidation while US Treasuries are breaking higher. The Shanghai Composite continues in the uptrend while Emerging Markets fall back into consolidation.

Volatility looks to remain low but building putting some pressure on the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts are showing some divergence with the IWM pulling back in a short term trend reversal while the SPY holds and consolidates and the QQQ continues to higher highs. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
