High Probability ETF Trading: 7 ETFs You Need to Know for Tuesday (PBW, EWY, EWM, QQQQ, GDX, FAZ, TZA)
U.S. equity ETF markets continued to advance on Monday, setting up overbought conditions in a number of major, widely-traded exchange-traded funds including funds like the ^IWM^.
Note that heading into trading on Tuesday, there are no exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in oversold territory in our database. Historically speaking, this is not a sustainable situtation and suggests that a significant pullback may arrive in the near term.

Here are 7 ETFs You Need to Know for Tuesday.
With no exchange-traded funds in oversold territory as trading begins on Tuesday, those ETF markets that could potentially wind up oversold with only a minimum of selling include ETFs like the ^PBW^. PBW reversed back to the downside after a brief two-day rally.
Among country funds trading just outside over oversold territory, there are two that high probability ETF traders should keep on their radar: the ^EWY^ and the ^EWM^ (below).
Shares of EWM have closed lower for two out of the past three trading sessions, and three of the past five.
The follow-through from the recent, broadbased oversold bounce has pushed a number of major exchange-traded funds back into overbought territory above the 200-day. This includes funds like the ^QQQQ^ (below)
and the ^GDX^ (below).
GDX has closed higher for two days in a row, with the most recent close in overbought territory above the 200-day.
Traders looking for markets that are pulling back may want to turn their attention to the inverse leveraged ETF market where ETFs like the ^FAZ^ and the ^TZA^. FAZ has closed lower for two days in a row, while TZA has closed lower for three.
