It was a week full of gaps, dips and rebounds. For example, SPY gapped down on Tuesday and tested its 50-day SMA on Wednesday. An inside day formed as the ETF rebounded on Thursday and another gap formed on Friday as SPY surged into Tuesday’s gap zone. Several tech related ETFs formed harami candlestick patterns near support and gapped up on Friday. These gaps, while short-term, are bullish as long as they hold and bigger triangle patterns could be taking shape. Today’s video will focus on three such ETFs as they reverse their downswings within these triangles. Elsewhere, oil and gold remain strong, while the Dollar and bonds are trending lower. Small-caps (IJR) remain stuck in a range and the Regional Bank ETF is holding its breakout. The Airline ETF is still setting up bullish, the Oil & Gas Equipment & Services ETF is forming a pennant and the Biotech ETF is testing the 200-day. Below are bullet points and the order of play:
