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 January FOMC meeting in the books and a formal announcement of Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chair nominee, saw equity markets show strength holding near and setting new highs.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to pause in the uptrend after tagging $5600/oz and pulling back while Crude Oil moves higher in the consolidation range. The US Dollar Index is finding its footing after a 4 year low while US Treasuries continue to hold in the lower end of the consolidation zone and looking better lower. The Shanghai Composite looks ready to continue the uptrend at 10½ year highs while Emerging Markets reset momentum gauges after making new all-time highs in their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue to hold in the normal range making it easier for equities to move higher. The charts of the SPY, the IWM and the QQQ remain strong on the longer timeframe with the IWM leading. On the shorter timeframe the IWM is also resetting with a retest of the prior high as support. The SPY and QQQ continue to be stuck in consolidation at their highs. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
