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 one week left in August and the Jackson Hole Fed Conference in the rearview mirror, saw equity markets finish strong after a continued slosh to the downside early.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue toward the top of consolidation in its uptrend while Crude Oil drifts in consolidation. The US Dollar Index continues to base in the intermediate term move to the downside while US Treasuries continue to consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue a new uptrend after breaking the broad consolidation area while Emerging Markets continue their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue at low levels making life easier for equity markets to the upside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ continue to look strong on both timeframes, with the SPY closing at a new all-time high. The The QQQ has one more plateau to clear to join the SPY and even the IWM jumping after clearing resistance to finish at an 8 month high. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
