After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. Ā These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday heading into March Options Expiration week sees that equity markets have finally taken a rest, and are digesting the strong moves from the Christmas Eve low.
Elsewhere look for Gold to pullback in its uptrend while Crude Oil marks time moving sideways. The US Dollar Index continues in broad consolidation but with a possible bullish reversal building while US Treasuries move higher in broad consolidation. The Shanghai Composite is making a digestive move in its uptrend while Emerging Markets are pulling back and possibly reversing lower.
Volatility looks to remain low but rising from extremes shifting the bias to lower for the equity index ETFās SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts all confirmed reversal patterns on the weekly timeframe and their first 5 day moves lower on the daily timeframe. No major damage to the uptrend has been done at this point. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and tradāem well.
