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 ‘Sell in May and Go Away’ season sees the equity markets looking better. Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate in its uptrend with a bias higher while Crude Oil continues lower. The US Dollar Index seems biased lower while US Treasuries are biased higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are both biased to the upside. Volatility looks to remain subdued keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. The indexes themselves all look better to the upside in the short term with the SPY strongest followed by QQQ and then IWM. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
