S&P 500 - Triple Screen 'Technical Analysis' - Week: 24 December to 28 December, 2012 - Bears break in..

Learning from the Past Week:  (click here for the post)

As pointed out last week - the Bullish Cross of the 5 EMA and 13 SMA on the EOW #3, was the key - what looked like a Bullish cross turned into a Bearish deflection giving the watchful Bear the honey...
Also as repeated for the past few weeks - the Bulls slithering along the green bottom line of the EOW Channel #3, failed to move back into it and saw a small slide.
On the long term charts - one sees a close below the 5 EMA  #1.
The EOD Channel #5 gets broken on the lower end.
Bulls see a close below the critical MVWAP 34 on the short term charts #5.



Last week saw the Bulls and Bears break 'Status quo' on the medium term and short term - Bears get the Honors.





Looking forward into the next Week:

The Ellipses marked #1,#2 and #3 indicate the focus areas on the long, medium and short term charts that we study this week.
The Bearish Deflection on the EOW #3 and the Bearish Cross on the EOD #5 of the 5 EMA and 13 SMA - indicate short term strength of the Bears - reversals here is what the Bulls look out for.
RSI moving above or below the MA #4 is another sign to notice.
STS position #2, in the oversold zone, indicate long term strength of Bulls.
Resistance continues at the EOW channel bottom #3, support is initially at the MVWAP 34, see #3 and then the '23.6% Fibonacci retrace of the Oct'07 High and Mar'09 Low' #1.



After the Bear Slide of last week - one could watch the MVWAP 34 on the Day Chart - retake of this MA by the Bulls is one of the first signs of a fightback.

Bulls move the index above our mark 5880 giving the Bears some Settlement Blues - Jan'13 wall is 5870.
Earlier in the week, Bears made another dash at the 5825 mark - Bulls however denied them a Merry Feast.
The Month chart's Bullish Three Outside up #1 is back in the reckoning - one day to go, to know for sure.
Bearish Cross of the 5 EMA and 13 SMA is followed by a Bullish Cross #5.
The Short Fuse indicator continues to show a down tick all December #2.


The EOD channel's green bottom line is held by the Bulls - our Resistance line marked by the arrow above that, is held by the Bears see #5.





Looking Forward into the next Week:

Taking the index below our Wall for Jan'13 i.e. 5870, would be the next challenge for the Bears.
Bulls need to keep it above 5880, the Nov'12 Close to prevent a Bear Charge.
The 5 EMA 13 SMA re-cross on the EOD is a signal to watch #5.
Index staying above the 5 EMA on the EOW is critical for Bulls in the medium term #3.
MACD and Signal line could meet for some action again #6.


5870 and 5880 are the numbers that the New Year would see as critical - Bulls are poised for a charge, closing 2012, above these numbers..

Failure of the Bullish Hikkake, very early in the week - helped one sense the trend.
Bears after the above, moved the index below the Nov'12 Close - putting on hold the Bullish Three Outside up #1.
Bulls manage to keep the index above the Wall for December i.e. 5825.
Bullish Cross of the 5 EMA and 13 SMA is followed by a Bearish Cross #5.
MACD and Signal line deflect neatly  #6.
The Short Fuse indicator continues to show a down tick all December #2.
The resistance line on the STS #4 shows us the way again.


The Resistance line drawn on the EOD #5 held off the Bulls once again and the Bears halt just above the Wall. 





Looking Forward into the next Week:

Taking the index below our Wall for December: 5825, would be the next challenge for the Bears.
Bulls need to take it above 5880, the Nov'12 Close to prevent a Bear Charge.
The 5 EMA #3 on the EOW, lines up with the Wall for the coming week i.e. both lie at 5825.
Bulls remain on top, so long as the STS keeps in the oversold  #4.



Break of the 5825-5880 range, early in the week, is something to watch out for. Downside break would be the Bear's X'Mas Treat.

Learning from the Past Week: (click here for the post)

A Red Week with a candle #3 which just fell short of being a Bearish Engulfing of the previous one..
We looked at the Bulls taking Step 1 for a Three Outside up, by staying above the resistance line on the EOD #5 - Bears ensure that this did not happen.
Another Three Outside up.#1 requirement which we studied last week was that the Nov'12 Close should be held by the Bulls - The week ended exactly at Nov'12 close i.e. 5880 !!
Bulls held the index above 5880 for most of the week - the fall on breach of this level was swift.
The fall came close to touching the 'Wall' for this month at 5825 before moving back to 5880.
A Bullish Hikkake which one can study here and here - forms on the EOD #7.



The Resistance line drawn on the EOD #5 held off the Bulls and the Bears were sent back near the Wall for the month.





Looking Forward into the next Week:

A 'Three Outside up' on the long term chart #1 combined with a 'Bullish Hikkake' on the EOD #7 - bodes good omens for the bull.
Falling below our Wall for December 5825 however, holds off above advantage.
Bullish Hikkake's effect would be known if 5925 is taken & held by the Bulls in the next two days.
Bearish Cross of the 5 EMA and 13 SMA on EOD is on - a close above 5900 on Monday and it becomes a Bullish Deflection.



Keeping above the Wall at all costs and November's Close are critical for Bulls - Couple of Candles to go on the EOD, to know the fate of the Bullish Hikkake as studied above.
