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 saw with Options Expiration and the June FOMC meeting in the rear view mirror, equities looking to emerge on the other side mainly unscathed. There is consolidation in the SPY (NYSE:SPY) and Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) but perhaps more damage in the QQQ.
Elsewhere look for gold to continue to pullback while crude oil trends lower. The US Dollar Index has moved to consolidation in its pullback while US Treasuries are biased to continue higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets (NYSE:EEM) are biased to the upside with the Chinese market drifting up, while Emerging Markets consolidate in their longer trend up.
Volatility looks to remain at abnormally low levels keeping a breeze at the backs of equities. Their charts show continued strength in all 3 Index ETF’s on the longer timeframe but consolidation in the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) and pullbacks in the IWM and QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ) on the shorter timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
