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 the FOMC June meeting and monthly Options Expiration sees the equity markets looking strong.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue to consolidation around 1300 while Crude Oil consolidates after pulling back. The US Dollar Index looks to continue lower while US Treasuries are biased lower in broad consolidation. The Shanghai Composite is consolidating at 52 week lows and Emerging Markets remain in a pullback in the uptrend.
Volatility looks to remain very low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts show the IWM the strongest and leading on the longer timeframe with the SPY and QQQ building strength as well. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
