Here are the Rest of the Top 10:

Intercontinental Exchange, Ticker: $ICE

Intercontinental Exchange, $ICE, has gone through a long pullback and reversal, creating a Cup, in 2014. The last 2 months may be the Handle to go along with it. This is a bullish pattern on a break of the Handle higher, but offers a downside trade as well on a new low under 215. The The RSI is holding in the bullish zone for now, but the MACD is running to the downside.

Marathon Oil, Ticker: $MRO

Marathon Oil, $MRO, was hit hard. like all oil names, before finding a bottom in mid-December. It is holding under resistance now with the 20 day SMA above and a gap to fill above that. The RSI is pushing against the mid line and the MACD is rising.

ON Semiconductors, Ticker: $ONNN

ON Semiconductors, $ONNN, is trading at 3 and a half year highs as it consolidates. A break higher could look to the 2011 highs and beyond. The RSI is strong and bullish while the MACD is leveling as the price churns. Watch the Golden Cross form as a possible catalyst.

Och-Ziff Capital, Ticker: $OZM

Och-Ziff Capital, $OZM, bounced off of the October low and ran up to its 200 day SMA. It took a small pullback from there before reversing higher. The Measured Move targets 13.25 and has support from a rising and bullish RSI and a MACD crossing up.

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 first full week of 2015 week, sees the equity index ETF’s looking as though they may continue to the downside.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in its tight range while Crude Oil continues lower. The US Dollar Index looks strong and should continue higher while US Treasuries are biased higher, and on the edge of a breakout. The Shanghai Composite continues to look strong but very overbought while Emerging Markets are weak and biased to the downside. Volatility looks to remain subdued keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, despite the moves lower this week.

Their charts show a downside bias with the QQQ leading the way and the IWM the strongest, possibly confirming a rotation from one to the other. The possible reversal candles Friday could always kick in and the indexes move higher though. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
