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 the April options expiry in the books, equity markets finished the week black and blue after taking a beating.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its consolidation at all-time highs in the uptrend while Crude Oil pulls back in its uptrend. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the upside while US Treasuries pullback in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the consolidation in its short term uptrend while Emerging Markets drop in broad consolidation.
The Volatility Index looks to remain low but rising keeping the pressure on equity markets. Their charts look weak, especially on the shorter timeframe. On the longer timeframe both the QQQ and SPY remain above break out levels from the start of the year, not a problem yet. The IWM has fallen back into its long channel consolidation though a failed break out. These often lead to fast moves lower. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
