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 August employment report in the books and heading into the Labor Day weekend, saw equity are a bit steadier. They now await the inflation data next week ahead of the September FOMC meeting.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue the pause in its uptrend with Crude Oil consolidating. The US Dollar Index looks to continue in a tight range while US Treasuries hold the move lower at 22 year lows in price. The Shanghai Composite looks set to continue to muddle under resistance while Emerging Markets creep higher in their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue low in the normal zone at the lows of the year keeping a tailwind behind equities. The charts of the SPY and QQQ are settling into ranges over support on the shorter timeframe, while the IWM is poised to make a recovery as it presses on resistance. They all continue to look strong on the longer timeframe consolidating at the highs. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
