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 January in the books as the best in 30 years and the first week of February ahead, sees equity markets continuing to look strong as they push higher.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in its uptrend while Crude Oil looks to break higher as well. The US Dollar Index continues to mark time moving sideways while US Treasuries are at resistance. The Shanghai Composite is building a reversal and Emerging Markets have confirmed a reversal higher.

Volatility looks to remain low and falling keeping the breeze at the backs of the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts show a possible pause in the short term but the longer picture continues to look strong, as they close in on printing the first higher high since the drop. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
