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 with the December FOMC meeting and Quadruple Witching in the books, saw equity markets post another stellar week as they head into the last full week of the year.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue higher while Crude Oil continues to trend lower. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the downside while US Treasuries continue in their short term uptrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the trend lower while Emerging Markets possibly break resistance to the upside.
The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially the SPY and QQQ on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the IWM, QQQ and SPY could use a reset on momentum measures as all are extended. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

Sağlam Duracaksınız Bu Hayatta
Ayaklarınız Yere Sağlam Basacak
Hayallerinizin Götürdüğü Yere Gitmek İçin.
Hayal Dünyasına Değil,
Kendi İç Dünyanıza Yönelecek
Yapabileceklerinizin ve Yapamayacaklarınızın
Bilinci ile ilerleyeceksiniz
Hayal kurup Rüya aleminde Arafta kalarak
Elde edemezsiniz gerçekleri Arzu ettiklerinizi,
Çalışacaksınız bıkmadan usanmadan sızlanmadan
Ter akıtacak Kafa yoracaksınız
Kaybetmeyi de Kazanmanyı da bilecek
Ders alacaksınız HAYAT OKULUNDAN...
Yenilmeyi de Yenmeyide öğretirken
Hayat öğretmeni Size
Yenilginin ardından ayağa kalkıp kaldığınız yerden devam edeceksiniz yolunuza UMUTLA...
Yendiğinizde de böbürlenip üstün görmeyeceksiniz kendinizi diğerlerinden.
Hiç olmayıda bileceksiniz gerektiğinde Aslan olup kükremeyide....
Sağlam basacaksınız ayağınızı yere
Geldiğiniz yeri unutmadan gideceğiniz yolu şaşırmadan ilerlemek için.
Yapamayacağınız sözler vermeyecek verdiğiniz sözü yerine getirmek için mücadele edeceksiniz.
Sorgulayacaksınız kendinizi geliştirmek ilerlemek hatalarınızı telafi etmek için.
ANAHTAR budur çünkü ruhunuza giden kapının kilidini açmak için.
Özgürleşmek Fark etmek Olmak yolunda yürüyebilmek için.
Affetmeyi de bileceksiniz sabretmeyide şükretmeyide bırakmayıda sahip olmayıda yeri geldiğinde
Yumruğu masaya vurmayıda....

Do you have some queer book recommendations, then? Regarding the recent post?
OH BOY DO I!
I'm a professional bookseller and try to get paid for my opinions but let's be honest, when someone asks for queer book recs you are going to struggle to shut me up two hours later
Amateur by Thomas Page McBee
This transcendent memoir chronicles the author's experience training to fight in a charity boxing match as an absolute novice--and by extension his exploration of masculinity as a transgender man. Beautiful writing about what it means to be a man in 21st-century America.
Bingo Love by Tee Franklin et al
Bingo Love made me cry on an Amtrak train. It's a wonderful romance about two women who fall in love as teenagers, but are separated by their families, only to come into each other's lives again when they are grandmothers.
The Rules do Not Apply by Ariel Levy
Ariel Levy's blistering memoir is a beautiful piece of writing that centers around a time of her life that can only be described as devastating. Perhaps it is her journalistic training that keeps this story from feeling sentimental. I loved every word.
The Manor House Governess:A Novel by C A Castle
This is a modern queer take on Jane Eyre (which was never really my thing -- Heathcliff rules, Rochester drools) in which a gender queer young person takes a job as essentially a governess for the daughter of a wealthy British landholder. The household is full of mystery, including the girl's brooding older brother who our hero is undeniably drawn to.
Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson
I've read this book so many times.
The reader never learns the gender of the narrator of this love story--which would feel like a gimmick in the hands of a lesser writer. Winterson uses the premise to explore the nature of love and self.
The Magic Fish (A Graphic Novel) by Trung Le Nguyen
This is a gorgeous coming of age story, full of art nouveau-esque illustration, fairy tales, immigrant longing and struggles, and young queer hearts just pulsing with life.
You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson
**read this one when you need the same feeling as you got from Red White and Royal Blue but with a little less sex**
This book charmed my pants off. Liz is a wonderful, memorable heroine, with a lot of obstacles in her way, but that doesn't stop her from finding her path forward. I laughed, I cried, I didn't want it to end.
Check, Please! Book 1 by Ngozi Ukazu
**read this when you need the same feeling you got from Heartstopper but with a little more sex**
You don't HAVE to love ice hockey to be totally charmed by Eric "Bitty" Bittle, the newest member of Samwell University's men's hockey team, and by Jack Zimmerman, the team's moody, stern, and totally gorgeous captain. Along with Book 2, presented here are Bitty's 4 years as a college hockey player, and the lessons he learns about life--and himself--in that time.
Outlawed by Anna North
A gender-bent, feminist, alternate universe Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid retelling, set in a world where the fledgling United States was decimated by a flu epidemic in the early 1800s. The remaining colonizer population is dedicated wholeheartedly to fertility and childbearing, so women (like Ada, our heroine) who cannot bear healthy babies are sent off to convents at best, or tried as witches at worst. She teams up with the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, and her adventures begin.
The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
High-brow science fiction that takes on issues of class (& related issues of race), corporate power, and personal identity.
Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
A novel like none I've ever read before. Emezi drew from their own experiences for this narrative about self and power and sex, integrated with Nigerian folklore.
Mortal Follies: A Novel by Alexis Hall
A lesbian Regency romance narrated by Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream? Yes please! A sexy, fun, fantastical tale that's kicked off with the protagonist falling under a curse that promises ever increasing scandal and danger.
The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri
A lush, thrilling sapphic fantasy set in an Indian inspired world full of dangerous magic and even more dangerous politics.
Mrs. S by K Patrick
Mrs S is gorgeous and casually devastating, a sexy slow burn obsessive forbidden queer love story. Every note is exactly right.
I'm stopping there cuz it's late and I've had a day but this is just pulling a fraction of the titles on my staff picks list.

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 with 1 week left in February, saw that large cap and tech focused equity markets showed resilience with a rebound to new highs after a weak start.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in consolidation near the highs while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range. The US Dollar Index now looks to reverse to drift to the downside while US Treasuries pullback in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the reversal higher while Emerging Markets consolidate.
The Volatility Index looks to remain very low making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially the SPY and QQQ on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY may be setting up for a reset as both have momentum divergences. The IWM continues to flirt with a break out. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
