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 September Options Expiration week, saw equity markets have started what has been there monthly pre-expiry pullback for the 5th month in a row.

Elsewhere look for Gold to consolidate while Crude Oil also spends time moving sideways. The US Dollar Index continues in an intermediate term consolidation while US Treasuries consolidate at the retest of the 2019 highs. The Shanghai Composite looks to be breaking out of a long term broad consolidation to the upside while Emerging Markets consolidate in a short term bull flag.

The Volatility Index looks to be creeping higher making the path harder for equity markets to the upside. Their charts remain strong, especially on the longer timeframe for the SPY and QQQ with the IWM in the long term consolidation. On the shorter timeframe the SPY the IWM and the QQQ look to see an easier path to the downside short term. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
