When looking at a chart for the Weekly S&P 500/T-Note Total Return Ratio, Riccardo Ronco, technical analyst at Friedman, Billings, Ramsey International noted that every week that goes by when the S&P continues to hold near 850 is a positive message for the markets.

"The selling pressure, the momentum of sellers, is wearing out, and this is a leading indication of something positive to come," Ronco told CNBC.

Focus on the names that failed to reach new lows in October and November, advises Ronco when looking at the Daily NASDAQ Composite with 52-week New Highs New Lows chart.

"Things that have gone down too much, on a 6 to 12 months basis, are usually those that are going to bounce faster into January and February."

The Asian, European and US telecommunications sectors are looking attractive at the moment, Ronco added.
