Here is your Bonus Idea with links to the full Top Ten:
PNC Financial Service, Ticker: PNC
PNC Financial Service, PNC has been moving higher since November 2012. After topping in February, it pulled back to the 50 day Simple Moving Average (SMA), and now is consolidating at 67 in a bull flag. A move over the top has a Measured Move to 73.63. That would be well above the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), of the bearish Shark at 68.16 or 74.04. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, but the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is pulling back. This is a mixed bag in the uptrend. There is resistance higher at 72.70 and support lower at 65 and 62 followed by 60.85.

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, heading into the new Quarter look for Gold to consolidate or pullback in its neutral channel. Crude Oil continues to March higher. The US Dollar Index seems content to move sideways, while U.S. Treasuries consolidate and are biased lower. The Shanghai Composite looks sick, while Emerging Markets are biased to the upside in the short run at support. Volatility looks to remain subdued, keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, despite recently created new highs. The QQQ looks the best on a longer scale, while the SPY is better very short term. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
