Up Next: Bonus Idea
After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. This week’s list contains the first five below to get you started early. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which heading into the first week of December sees the equity markets looking strong on the longer timeframe after weathering a short term shock Friday.
Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate under 1300 while Crude Oil consolidated in its uptrend. The US Dollar Index is marking time with a bias to the downside while US Treasuries consolidate in the range in place since September. The Shanghai Composite is also moving sideways with a bias for a pullback while Emerging Markets retrench in their uptrend.
Volatility looks to remain low but may creep up removing some support for equities. The equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), IWM and QQQ show unfettered uptrends on the weekly charts. On the daily charts they may need a breather after the intraday shock Friday. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
