After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week.  These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the first week of September in the book, saw equity markets making a resurgence.

Elsewhere look for Gold to pause in its uptrend while Crude Oil slowly drifts lower. The US Dollar Index is also drifting, but to the upside while US Treasuries pullback in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets have both reversed to the upside and look to continue higher.

Volatility has eased and looks to remain very low changing the bias to higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. The SPY and QQQ both broke ranges to issue buy signals while the IWM continues to churn in a wide consolidation. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
