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 heading into August options expiration saw the equity markets took a blow to the head but shook it off to recover by the end of the week.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in its uptrend while Crude Oil may be ready to pause in its pullback. The US Dollar Index continues the slow grind higher in a wide channel while US Treasuries may be ready to pause in their uptrend. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets have resumed their path lower.

Volatility has picked up slightly making the path higher a bit tougher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts show good recoveries from a shock in the short run, with continued strength in the SPY and QQQ in the long term chart, while the IWM consolidates in a range. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
