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 earnings season and October Options Expiration in the books, saw equity markets bucking the seasonal sentiment of an historically strong period in the election cycle and falling prey to spooky October fears.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue a pause in the short term move lower with Crude Oil resuming the short term move higher. The US Dollar Index looks to continue to work to push through the top of the zone on the verge of an uptrend while US Treasuries bounce from 24 year high yields and all-time lows in price for the Treasury Bond ETF. The Shanghai Composite looks on the verge of confirming a long rounding top while Emerging Markets continue to show risk to their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks elevated in the normal zone, near a more worrisome move higher putting pressure on equities. The charts of the QQQ and the IWM are looking weaker and easier to the downside in the short term while the SPY tests support in consolidation. The SPY and QQQ continue to look strong on the longer timeframe while the IWM in a short term downtrend. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
