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 with April in the books, saw equity markets off to their worst start in over 80 years and in downtrends.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue the short term pullback while Crude Oil consolidates in its uptrend. The US Dollar Index continues a strong move higher but is at resistance while US Treasuries continue to trend lower. The Shanghai Composite looks to bounce in its downtrend while Emerging Markets continue to trend lower.

The Volatility Index looks to remain elevated and possibly continuing higher making the path easier for equity markets to the downside. Their charts also look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY could us a reset on momentum measures as both are extended. If that happens it might be time for the IWM to take the lead. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

4 Trade Ideas for Anthem: Bonus Idea

Anthem, $ANTM, comes into the week at an all-time high and breaking a short term range. The Bollinger Bands® are opening higher as price pushes up. A first target would be a Measured Move higher equal to the move into the consolidation on the move up. This would be to about 510. 

The RSI is rising in the bullish zone with the MACD positive and moving higher. There is no resistance above. Support lower comes at 470 and 457 then 438. Short interest is low under 1%. The stock pays a dividend with an annual yield of 1.07% and begins trading ex-dividend Wednesday. The company is expected to report earnings next on April 19th. 

The March options chain shows little open interest but what there is focused at the 480 and 490 call strikes. The April chain is also light. The April 22 Expiry options cover the next earnings report but are just starting to trade. Finally, June options show biggest open interest at the 440 put and then down at 400. It is light on the call side and spread from 440 to 540.

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 one week into the conflict in the Ukraine saw the equity markets looking jittery and volatile.

It is not helping that it is also a time when the Fed Chairman is speaking before Congress just two weeks before what has been a widely anticipated shift to a tightening monetary policy cycle. Are we having fun yet?

Elsewhere look for Gold and Crude Oil to continue their moves higher toward all-time highs. The US Dollar Index also looks to continue to the upside while US Treasuries consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue in broad consolidation while Emerging Markets resumes its downtrend.

The Volatility Index looks to remain at a high level keeping the skittish news driven choppiness for equity markets. Their charts are looking weak on the shorter timeframe, making a series of lower highs since the end of the year tops. On the longer timeframe there are some mixed messages with the SPY continuing to hold over 7 month support, the IWM in sideways consolidation in a possible bear flag and the QQQ drifting lower in what might be a reversal pattern. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

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 with 2 trading days left in November, saw equity markets  showing some degree of weakness in the short term.

The Shanghai Composite looks to continue in broad consolidation while Emerging Markets extend losses in a downtrend.

The IWM is right in the middle of the longer term consolidation covering all of 2021, but in a downtrend on the daily chart.
