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 December Quadruple Witching in the books, saw equity markets showing some weakness.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its consolidation while Crude Oil consolidates as well. The US Dollar Index looks to pause in the uptrend while US Treasuries consolidate. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue in consolidation as well while Emerging Markets continue to move lower.
The Volatility Index looks to remain in the normal range easing the pressure on equity markets. Their charts look vulnerable on the shorter timeframe. On the longer timeframe both the QQQ and SPY look stronger while all three, including the IWM, remain in consolidation. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
