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 Martin Luther King weekend and with January Options Expiration in the books, saw equity markets looking a bit tired.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its short term pullback while Crude Oil continues to trend higher. The US Dollar Index is trying to bounce in the downtrend while US Treasuries trend lower. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue higher while Emerging Markets meet resistance as they test all-time highs in an uptrend.
The Volatility Index looks to remain low but with an upward bias making the path harder for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY look gassed and are retrenching. The IWM continues to lead but may also be ready to pause. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
