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 May options expiration in the record books, sees equity markets seem to have weathered a short term storm.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue to move higher while Crude Oil retraces its downward move. The US Dollar Index looks to possibly break to the upside while US Treasuries consolidate in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to slowly drift higher in consolidation while Emerging Markets pause under short term resistance.
The Volatility Index looks to remain elevated but moving lower making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts are a mixed bag, with the SPY and IWM in consolidation on the shorter timeframe while the QQQ looks to head higher. On the longer timeframe both the QQQ and SPY look strong as they move higher, but with resistance just overhead. The IWM is also at resistance but at relatively lower levels. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
