Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF)

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 May Options Expiration sees the equity markets continuing to look weak.
Elsewhere look for gold to consolidate in its uptrend while crude oil continues higher. The US Dollar Index looks to continue the bounce in the downtrend while US Treasuries are biased higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets look better to the downside.
Volatility looks to remain subdued though keeping the bias higher 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), despite their moves lower. Their charts look better to the downside with the IWM the worst then the SPY and the QQQ with the best chance to consolidate and reverse. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
