After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. This week’s list contains the first five below to get you started early.  These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with one week left before the election, saw equity markets were consolidating with minor retrenching. They were not showing signs of nervousness around the outcome.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its pullback in the uptrend while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the downside while US Treasury prices are in a downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue to consolidate while Emerging Markets remain in an uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to remain in moderate territory, neither helping nor hurting equity markets. Their charts are in consolidation on the shorter timeframe and pausing in the uptrends on the longer frame. On the shorter timeframe the IWM is holding up best with both the QQQ and SPY pulling back in bull flags. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
