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 as 2017 comes to a close sees the equity markets limping into the last day, but holding near their all-time highs.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil breaks higher as well. The US Dollar Index continues broad consolidation but with risk to the downside while US Treasuries are biased higher in their broad consolidation. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets both continue to consolidate, the Chinese market after a pullback while Emerging Markets do so in their uptrend.

Volatility looks to remain very low keeping the wind at the backs of the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts show short term consolidation of the long uptrends with digestion while the longer frames remain strong. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
