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 heading into the first full week of November and with the US elections Tuesday, sees the equity markets are weak and hemorrhaging.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue higher in the short term while Crude Oil continues to move lower. The US Dollar Index looks to continue to the downside while US Treasuries are biased lower but consolidating. The Shanghai Composite should continue to drift higher while Emerging Markets are biased to the downside.
Volatility looks to remain elevated keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts agree and look better to the downside on both the daily and weekly timeframes. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
