ACADIA Pharma, Ticker: $ACAD

ACADIA Pharma, $ACAD, started higher in December and met resistance into April. It pulled back slightly and has consolidated there since.

Franklin Resources, $BEN, finally broke out of a broad consolidation when it made a higher high in April. The pullback from there found support at the 200 day SMA and it reversed back higher.

Graphic Packaging, $GPK, cleared a double bottom in February and then shifted to a sideways consolidation. In April it broke that to the upside and gapped up to find resistance in May. After a pullback to the 200 day SMA it reversed and ran to a higher high into June. Another pullback, to a higher low, and it reversed again. It sits at the prior high with the RSI rising in the bullish zone and the MACD crossed up and rising. Look for a new high 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 heat of summer and earnings season, sees the equity markets are a bit mixed but all strong on the shorter timeframe.

Elsewhere look for Gold to pause in its uptrend, holding around 1400, while Crude Oil pauses in the pullback. The US Dollar Index looks to reverse higher in consolidation while US Treasuries pullback in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the messy uptrend while Emerging Markets stall in their move higher.

Volatility looks to remain very low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their short term charts are all positive looking for more upside. But on the longer timeframe the SPY and QQQ are decidedly more bullish, triggering patterns with very big potential moves, while the IWM remains stuck in a range. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
