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 dog days of August saw that equity markets had been dinged despite an accommodative FOMC.

Elsewhere look for Gold to move higher while Crude Oil continues to head lower. The US Dollar Index also looks to strengthen while US Treasuries are biased to continue higher. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue lower in the short term while Emerging Markets resume a downtrend.

Volatility looks to move higher putting a bias lower for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts also point to some short term weakness, especially in the SPY and QQQ. Long term the SPY and QQQ still remain strong with the IWM stuck in a range.  Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
