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 Saturday which, heading into December sees the markets are biased higher but cautiously so.
Gold looks headed lower in its long-term channel while Crude Oil heads higher. The US Dollar Index seems content to move lower while US Treasurys are biased lower but may continue to consolidate. The Shanghai Composite is marching lower while Emerging Markets stagnate in their consolidation zone. Volatility looks to remain low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts are starting to show signs of being tired though, so caution is warranted on the long side in the near-term. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trade’m well.
