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 month of May now in the books, saw equity markets continue to show resilience, holding in consolidation near all-time highs.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its move higher while Crude Oil possibly resumes its uptrend. The US Dollar Index looks to continues to move lower while US Treasuries consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the short term trend higher while Emerging Markets consolidate in their uptrend.
The Volatility Index looks to remain very low making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts are holding strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the QQQ may be at risk as it consolidates at a lower high after a rebound. The SPY is a whisker away from new highs though as the IWM continues to mark time sideways. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
