USdollarThis past week the markets made new highs although on Monday the markets looked like they would follow through to the down side, they had other plans and reversed closing up for the day and making new highs for the week. Last weekend we said the market uptrend will continue to be in force until we see lower highs and lower lows, well we didn't get that this past week, so we will start out this coming week once again with an up trending over bought market.

This past week we put a couple of short selections in our weekly watch list and we were rewarded with one of them hitting and surpassing our target price and giving us a better than 8% gain and with our stop in place the trade remains open.

This coming week is crucial for the U.S. Dollar as it reversed to the down side on Friday and now needs to bounce if the up trend that began in December is going to remain in force. If the dollar's move up is over, than Gold and Oil could be at the beginning of new up trends.

The selections for our watch list this coming week will be mostly on the long side but will also include one short selection. We did not include many oil or gold stocks as many will be reporting their earnings this week and early next week and we do not hold a stock during it's earnings announcements.

Once again caution is to be used when entering new long or short selections keeping stops tight.
