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, heading into February sees the equity markets are all moving together and look better lower. Look for Gold to consolidate and possibly reverse lower while Crude Oil continues its rise. The US Dollar Index looks better to the upside while US Treasuries are remain biased higher with significant resistance nearby. The Shanghai Composite looks to be consolidating and may be ready to move higher while Emerging Markets are also consolidating but with a downside bias. Volatility looks to remain low but creeping up to important levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, but with very little strength. Their charts show that the SPY is the weakest and looks to continue lower while the IWM is next and then the QQQ the strongest, but only looking at best to consolidate and likely to pullback too. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
