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 shortened week and the end of the 1st Quarter, sees equity markets showed resilience with a rebound from a mid-week dive.
Elsewhere look for Gold to possibly reverse out of its pullback while Crude Oil consolidates in its digestive move. The US Dollar Index has turned to a short term trend to the upside while US Treasuries bounce in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite continues to pullback in the uptrend while Emerging Markets look close to a long term breakout retest as they pullback.
The Volatility Index looks to remain low and close to filling the pandemic gap, making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong on the longer timeframe, but there is a clear ranking emerging with the SPY strongest and moving higher, the IWM with a possible broadening top and the QQQ holding support after a digestive pullback. On the shorter timeframe both the IWM and the QQQ also look weaker than the SPY as they show short term trends lower while the SPY attacks the all-time high. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
