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 month of February in the books, saw equity markets end with a seasonally weak period, raising the fear factor.

Elsewhere look for Gold to pause in its march higher while Crude Oil consolidates in the bottom of a broad range. The US Dollar Index looks to try to rebound to the upside while US Treasuries show some short term strength in consolidation. The Shanghai Composite looks to consolidate in the recent move higher while Emerging Markets shift to a short term move lower.

The Volatility Index looks to remain low but rising, making the path easier for equity markets to the downside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ look strong still on the longer timeframe, but on the shorter timeframe both, as well as the IWM, are showing signs of a deeper pullback. The IWM remains stuck in a channel on the longer timeframe. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
