Here are the Rest of the Top 10:
Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CDNS)
Cadence Design Systems, had a steady run higher from the January low until it consolidated in April. In May it broke that consolidation to the upside. The pullback through June made for a higher low and then it reversed to a higher high in July. The end of July brought another drop lower and a rounding bottom at a higher low. A new uptrend has formed, just not as neat as the last one. The RSI has turned back higher and the MACD is leveling. Look for continuation higher to participate…..

Up Next: Bonus Idea
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 heading into the dog days of August sees the equity markets looking strong.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue lower short term in the uptrend while Crude Oil bounces in the downtrend. The US Dollar Index looks to continue higher in the broad consolidation while US Treasuries are biased lower. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue to move sideways in a narrow range while Emerging Markets continue higher.
Volatility looks to remain at extremely low levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY (NYSE:SPY), iShares Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) and PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ) . Their charts agree on both the daily and weekly timeframe. If you ranked them the QQQ might be the most ready for a pause or retrench, possibly handing the baton to the IWM. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
