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 after tying up the second quarter and heading into the Fourth of July Holiday Weekend, sees equities have held up well, but with a first crack in the armor for the QQQ.
Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate sideways while Crude Oil continues higher short term. The US Dollar Index is weak and looks to continue lower while US Treasuries are also biased lower after a reversal. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are biased to the upside with risk that Emerging Markets may continue to consolidate in the short run.
Volatility looks to remain at very low levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ). Their charts are more mixed than they have been with the QQQ showing some signs of weakness on both timeframes while the SPY and IWM are still strong. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
