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 the March Options Expiration week and ahead of the widely expected invasion of the Ukraine sees the markets are jittery if not tired or weak. Specifically look for Gold to continue higher in its uptrend while Crude Oil slows in its pullback and may be ready to reverse higher. The US Dollar Index looks to continue lower while US Treasuries are biased higher and near a break of major resistance. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are biased to the downside with risk of the Chinese market consolidating and then a possible reversal. Volatility looks to remain low but moving higher cutting the breeze at the back of the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts suggest that the SPY and IWM are a bit stronger than the QQQ and may be ready to consolidate and reverse higher, while the QQQ is biased lower. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
