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 last week of January, sees equities have taken a pause but remain in their uptrends. But they also remain short declaring that the correction is over.
Elsewhere look for gold to pause in its uptrend while oil pauses in its move higher. The US Dollar Index is back in broad consolidation while US Treasuries pause in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite is building the case for a possible reversal higher while the MSCI Emerging Markets is building a reversal itself.
Volatility looks to remain muted keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts remain strong in the short timeframe and just short of full bullish on the longer timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trade them well.
