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 just 1 trading day left in June and the 2nd Quarter, saw equity markets show strength with strong moves higher.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil consolidates after a strong move lower. The US Dollar Index continues a short term move to the downside at more than 3 year lows while US Treasuries consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the move higher in consolidation while Emerging Markets resume their break to the upside in consolidation.

The Volatility Index looks to continue in the normal range making life easier for equity markets to the upside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ show short term strength both timeframes. The IWM continues to lag the SPY and QQQ in recovery in price. The classic “V” recovery continues to build in all 3 Index ETFs as the SPY joins the QQQ making a fresh all-time highs. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
