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 December begins, sees the markets are still strong but getting a bit extended on longer timeframes. Look for Gold to consolidate or continue lower in the downtrend while Crude Oil is biased lower but also may consolidate. The US Dollar Index seems content to move lower in the short term in the uptrend while US Treasuries are biased lower but nearing support. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are biased to the upside with a chance of Emerging Markets running in place. Volatility looks to remain low and may drift higher keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, but not as strong a breeze as has been blowing. Their charts show the IWM the strongest and the QQQ not far behind but a bit extended while the SPY shows the most signs of a stall or pullback. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
