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 August in the books and heading into the Labor Day Holiday weekend, saw equity markets hold firm with some minor profit taking Friday.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue to press up and through the top of its consolidation zone while Crude Oil drifts in consolidation. The US Dollar Index continues to base in the intermediate term move to the downside, teasing a possible change of character, while US Treasuries continue to consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the uptrend to new 10 year highs while Emerging Markets also continue their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue to hold at low levels making life easier for equity markets to the upside. The chart of the SPY continues to look strong on both timeframes, closing just under Thursday’s all-time high. The QQQ has a short term warning sign with momentum fading but remains strong on the longer timeframe. The IWM more closely resembles the SPY, strong on both timeframes, but measured against its 8½ month high. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
