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 last days of October and the last full week before the midterm elections, saw stocks get rocked. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have dropped more than 10% from their highs at the end of September with the Russell 2000 more than 15% off its high.
Elsewhere look for Gold to pause in its uptrend while Crude Oil pauses in its downtrend. The US Dollar Index is meeting resistance in its short term uptrend while US Treasuries are digesting their run lower. The Shanghai Composite is searching for a bottom but Emerging Markets are continuing to the downside. Volatility looks to remain elevated and possibly rise further keeping the bias lower for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), IWM and QQQ. Their charts look like they agree with that, all 3 in solid short term downtrends and now downtrends on the intermediate timeframe as well. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
