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 the FOMC meeting and June options expiration, saw equity markets appearing to have stopped the damage with small caps leading at all-time highs.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue a short term downtrend while Crude Oil settles under $90/bbl, near support and a change of character to a downtrend. The US Dollar Index looks to drift lower near the top of the range while US Treasuries continue to hold over support in consolidation after avoiding a shift in character. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the short term trend to the downside while Emerging Markets look to recover from the pull back in their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue lower in the normal zone, after a pop to test the recent range, giving a bit of a tailwind to equities. The charts of the SPY, the QQQ and the IWM continue to look extremely strong on the longer timeframe after the reset out of overbought conditions. On the shorter timeframe the SPY and the QQQ still have some work left in the short term bounce to prove the pullback is over. The IWM, however, is looking strong, with an all-time high to end the week. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
