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 with 1 month left in the year sees equities have given up most or all of their gains for the year, but are looking to start December moving higher. Perhaps a Santa Claus rally can repair some of the damage.
Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate in the short term while Crude Oil pauses in its downtrend. The US Dollar Index is resuming the path higher while US Treasuries bounce in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite is resuming its path lower while Emerging Markets pause in their downtrend.
Volatility looks to remain elevated but stable, putting light pressure on equities. The equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), IWM and QQQ, all showed great strength on the week and look to continue that into December. On the longer scale the QQQ has the most work to do to reverse the downtrend, while the IWM and SPY have stopped the bleeding for now. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
