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 April options expiration in the rearview mirror sees the markets head into the last full week of April trading. Here in Northeast Ohio the weather is mixed with sunshine but very cold temperatures and some snow, hardly spring time, and stocks look the same, confused, sometimes strong and then weak again.
Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate in a broad range while Crude Oil continues to be the strongest market rising higher. The US Dollar Index churns along sideways while US Treasuries are now in a downtrend. The Shanghai Composite has also turned downward while Emerging Markets continue to mark time at the highs.
Volatility has been stuck in a more normal range and does not look to be changing that anytime soon. This has left the equity index ETF’s SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ) to blaze their own path. Their charts continue to frustrate in the short term, falling back from lower highs, but longer term continue to consolidate in broad ranges at the top. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad'em well.
