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 August options expiration in the books and heading into next week’s Fed Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, saw equity markets remain a bit unsettled as the Treasury’s reaction to rising bond yields spook the Dollar and Gold.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue the uptrend with Crude Oil bouncing in a downtrend. The US Dollar Index looks to continue the move lower in consolidation while US Treasuries continue the move lower at 22 year lows in price. The Shanghai Composite looks poised to reverse higher while Emerging Markets gather upward momentum in their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue in the normal zone at the lows of the year keeping a slight tailwind behind equities. They could use that as the charts of the SPY and the IWM are pulling back to support on the shorter timeframe after making new all-time highs, while the QQQ is also at support but after falling from a lower high. They all continue to look strong on the longer timeframe consolidating at the highs. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
