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 April and the May FOMC meeting in the books, saw equity markets show some strength moving higher in a busy week for news.
Elsewhere look for Gold to pullback in its uptrend while Crude Oil pulls back in the long uptrend as well. The US Dollar Index is on the edge of a break out to the upside while US Treasuries pause in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the short term move higher as it returns from a Labor Day holiday while Emerging Markets with further upside will confirm a new uptrend.
The Volatility Index looks to remain very low making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the IWM is leading the way to a reversal higher while both the QQQ and SPY still have some work to do before they are in the clear. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
