Technical Setups for the Week

BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- An emphatic bounce in stocks yesterday shed some of the concern over Friday's selloff, which took the S&P 500 all the way from resistance at around 1300 to support at 1275 during the course of the day's trading action and increased the index's overall volatility by 25%.

But the renewed flux in the equity markets is translating into a rally for other markets.

Brent crude oil rose to over $100 per barrel yesterday, the first time the stuff has seen triple digits since back in late September 2008. As continued unrest in the Middle East threatens the flow of crude, oil prices could have a shot a breaking through resistance levels that currently sit just overhead. You can bet that commodity investors will be watching closely.

Meanwhile, in the stock market, earnings season is continuing full bore. We'll take advantage of the added action by taking a look at a new set of Technical Setups for the Week.
