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, as the books are closed on the August Options Expiration and we head into the last week of Summer sees the equity markets are still with some turbulence. Elsewhere look for Gold to bounce around the 1300 level while Crude Oil continues to be biased lower, but mindful of the bounce Friday. The US Dollar Index looks toppy and possibly ready for a correction lower while US Treasuries continue to be biased higher. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets are consolidating but with the Chinese market biased higher and Emerging Markets having trouble at resistance and looking toppy. Volatility looks to remain low keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts show that all look good on the longer timeframe but the QQQ the strongest in the short term with the SPY close behind and the IWM the weakest. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
