Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY)
Bristol-Meyers Squibb, $BMY, made a double bottom last week and is moving back higher. Both the RSI and MACD are moving back higher along with price as the MACD is about to cross up. It touched the 200 day SMA a spot it had not seen since January 2nd 2013.

Telephone & Data Systems, $TDS, has been moving higher since the end of February. Over the last 3 weeks it has consolidated in a bull flag under the 200 day SMA with a RSI that is bullish and a MACD that is pausing in the shallow pullback as it touches the signal line.

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, heading into the May options cycle sees the equity markets as mixed. Elsewhere look for Gold to continue lower while Crude Oil continues to move up. The US Dollar Index seems ready to move sideways or pullback while US Treasuries are biased higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are both in consolidation mode with the Chinese market looking better lower and Emerging Markets biased to the upside. Volatility looks to remain low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (ARCA:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 Index (ARCA:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ) and potentially signaling for a new all-time high to come in the S&P 500. The equity Index ETF’s themselves paint a mixed picture with all rising on the short term, but the SPY the strongest and back at the consolidation zone, while the IWM and QQQ still have a lot of work to do to remove the intermediate term downward bias. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
