Wells Fargo, Ticker: $WFC

Wells Fargo, $WFC, is back at resistance at 34.50, making a 5 month ‘V’. It has a bullish Relative Strength Index (RSI) that is running higher with a moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) that is near zero and close to a cross positive. There is clear air above 34.50 back until the 38.40 level from 2008 and a measures move higher to 41. The 3-box reversal Point and Figure chart carries a price objective of 57 above that. Support lower is found at 32.50 and 30 followed by 30.

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 Saturday which, as the dog days of August begin has the markets looking better. Gold and Crude Oil are poised to consolidate with a bias for an upside move on a break. The US Dollar Index and Treasuries seems content to move continue to pullback in their uptrends. The Shanghai Composite really looks ugly but may have a reprieve for a few days and Emerging Markets are poised to move higher. Volatility looks to remain low and possibly make new lows setting the stage for the Equity Index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, to continue to run higher. The inter-market view with the lower bias for Treasuries and the US Dollar, and higher bias for Crude Oil also support more upside for Equities. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trade’m well.
