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 last week of February sees the equity markets continuing to look strong but also continuing to remain below an all clear level.
Elsewhere look for gold to possibly pause in its uptrend while Crude Oil resumes the path higher. The U.S. Dollar Index looks to continue to move sideways while U.S. Treasuries are consolidating at resistance. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are continuing their trends higher.
Volatility looks to remain very low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), IWM (NYSE:IWM) and QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts are looking a little extended though strong on the shorter timeframe, but remain very strong on the longer timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
