Patterns:
  • Index breaks out of its range and runs into the ATH (All Time High) and makes a Triple Top #D1.
  • March and February candles form a Bearish Harami, with April candle showing green - for most of this month #M1. 
Support & Resistance:
  • Index halts at the ATH #M1 & #D1, while support was around the 13 SMA on the EOW #W1.
Moving Averages:  
    • The all important, 5 EMA and 13 SMA, on the medium term screen, stay deflected Bullishly again last week #W1.
    Indicators:
    • RSI 13 is still in the 50s #W2.

    Wrap:

    Looking forward into this Week:

    Patterns:
    • Bears Struggle to make a Long Term 'Three inside down' after the Bearish Harami - see last three candles #M1 (Study Links herehere or elsewhere) a Triple top on the Short Term may help (Study Links herehere or elsewhere). 
    • Bulls look to History (re-look) #M1 & #M3, and the support at the 5 EMA #M1, for a resumption of the Bull run.
    Support & Resistance: 
    • 5 EMA on the EOW (2095) #W1, is the Index Support that Bears want to get below. 
    • Bulls would push for new ATHs and a month close in the green #D1.
    Moving Averages:
    • If the Index again closes the week above 2066, the 5 EMA and the 13 SMA on the Weekly  Charts, would stay deflected Bullishly #W1.
    Indicators:
    • TSI, support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retrace, good for the Bulls #M2.


    Wrap:
    Bulls after reaching the ATH, look for Higher Highs and a resumption of the Bull run #D1.
    Bears after triggering a Long term Bearish Harami, look to convert it into a '3 inside down', by closing April below 2068 #M1, with some help from the Triple Top #D1.
