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 Fed Jackson Hole meeting in the rear view mirror, equity markets continued their progress higher, shifting from the large caps and tech names to small caps Friday, but without a rotation this time.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil consolidates in a narrow range and at risk for a drop. The US Dollar Index continues to move to the downside while US Treasuries consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the downtrend while Emerging Markets may start a new uptrend.
The Volatility Index looks to remain low and stabilizing making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially on the longer timeframe, with the IWM joining the SPY and QQQ in that view. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY are slowing down and watching the short term money flow into the IWM. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
