Are there any technical analysis blogs that focus on trading setups and cross-asset themes for active traders?

Yes — there are several good technical-analysis blogs and market commentary sites that focus on trade setups, cross-asset relationships, and actionable levels for active traders. A few well-known ones:

1. The Market Ear

• Strong on cross-asset themes: stocks, rates, FX, commodities, crypto.
• Often highlights chart patterns, momentum, positioning, and key levels.
• Very good if you want a broader macro/technical read rather than just single-name equity setups.

2. Charlie Bilello / Creative Planning blog

• More market-wide and data-driven than pure setup trading.
• Useful for trend analysis, relative strength, and cross-asset context.
• Better for framing ideas than for intraday entries.

3. Alphatrends / Brian Shannon

• Focuses on technical setups in equities and ETFs.
• Emphasis on VWAP, trend structure, and trade management.
• Especially useful for active traders looking for practical chart-based setups.

4. David Keller / StockCharts blog

• Strong technical-analysis education plus market breadth and cross-asset signals.
• Good for understanding what asset classes are confirming or diverging.
• Less “signal service,” more framework for finding setups.

5. TradingView Ideas + market blogs

• Not a single blog, but there are many traders posting setup-driven technical analyses.
• Good for scanning multiple asset classes quickly.
• Quality varies a lot, so it helps to follow a few consistent contributors.

6. Zacks / Bespoke-style market commentary

• Often focuses on intermarket analysis, sector rotation, and tactical levels.
• More market commentary than pure charting, but useful for active traders.

7. Optuma / technical market blogs

• Typically more institutional/technical in style.
• Good for intermarket, seasonality, and relative strength themes.
