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 that saw with the April options expiration in the books, equity markets continued to focus on the impact from tariffs and almost nothing else.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its record run higher while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range with a potential reversal higher brewing. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the downside in a short term downtrend while US Treasuries consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue in consolidation while Emerging Markets remain in broad consolidation.
The Volatility Index looks to remain elevated but dropping making the path slightly easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts continue to look weak though particularly on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the QQQ, IWM and SPY could show some strength on moves out of last week’s tight ranges to the downside that could lead to a turn around. Wait for proof. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
