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 October Options Expiration in the rearview mirror saw equity markets hold up well into the start of earnings season despite rising volatility.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue the uptrend to new all-time highs while Crude Oil moves lower in a short term downtrend to the bottom of consolidation. The US Dollar Index continues to drift down in consolidation, while US Treasuries hold higher in their consolidation, continuing to tease of a reversal higher. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the short term consolidation in the uptrend near 10 year highs while Emerging Markets also continue their uptrend to new 4 year highs.

The Volatility Index looks to continue to drift higher from low levels, checking the power of the equity markets move to the upside. The charts of the SPY, the IWM and the QQQ remain strong on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe despite the IWM printing two new all-time highs, it and the SPY and QQQ remain vulnerable to more downside in the short term. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
