Up Next: Bonus Idea
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 as the first full week of 2019 concluded sees equities posting a positive follow up to last week with some digestion at the end of the week. Good news but still shy of a confirmed reversal higher.
Elsewhere look for Gold to possibly pause in its uptrend while Crude Oil moves higher with some digestion short term. The US Dollar Index looks to drift lower in broad consolidation while US Treasuries pull back in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the downtrend with Emerging Markets possibly putting in a bottom and reversal.
Volatility looks to settling back to normal levels clearing the way for equities to show if they have strength. Their charts show the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), IWM and QQQ, continuing the bounce higher and consolidating the move at the end of the week. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
