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

We watched the action at the month chart's channel, and saw the resistance send back the bulls here (1).

Bears would use the Bearish Harami on the week chart (3) to get back into the action with a follow up.
Bulls would use the strength shown, by closing above the 5 EMA (5) - to resume the up-move.
Bears see the RSI sliding below the MA (4) on the Week chart as a plus.
Key indicators remain in the oversold zone (4,2)

Looking forward into the next Week:

Month Channel's top (2) at 1494 (max for Sept) a critical resistance last week, remains the challenge for the Bulls.
Currently Bulls have the momentum on all screens.
The classic 'consolidation phase' after an up move also looks done.

Failure to stay above the 5 EMA on the Day Chart (5) - would be the early warning signal of Bear Power.
If the Bearish Harami on the week chart (3) mutates into a Bearish 'Three inside down' - Bulls lose the advantage.
So watch if the next week looks like closing below this week's close - to trigger above Bearish Pattern.

Above is the Day Chart - EOD - analyzing Data from May 2012, onward.

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

Bulls broke through last week's Day Channel top and reached the next logical day channel top - now shown on EOD (5).

The short fuse oscillator (2) - stays up, displaying this month's action - to date.

Negative Divergence - MACD - persists (6).

STS on EOW (4) nudged the oversold line for the third time this year - and lucky 3 - moves into bull zone !

Looking Forward into the next Week:

Just as seen last week...
The support at STS (4) helps the Bulls.

Index sustaining above the Fibonacci 76.4 %, as marked on the EOW (3) - would keep the Bull run intact.

A massive Pullback to the Monthly Channel's Green bottom line (1) - is on the cards, if above happens.

Bears have the EOD Channel top (5) and '-ve' divergence (6) to look forward to.

The EOD channel top resistance (5) gives the Bears, a chance of redemption, with a 'throwback' to EOW channel top (3).

Some Quotes..

There are times when playing the stock market that your money should be inactive - waiting on the sidelines in cash - waiting to come into play. In the stockmarket - time is not money - time is time and money is money. Often money that is just sitting can later be moved into the right situation at the right time and make a vast fortune – patience – patience. Patience is the key to success not speed.

Jesse Livermore.

That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

Steve Jobs.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Jim Rohn.

"Why do we trade?

To be sure, trading allows us independence, the opportunity to work for ourselves. Trading also offers the prospects of a lifestyle in which evenings and weekends need not be consumed by work. Some of us crave the competitive aspect of trading, doing fresh battle each day. Others approach trading as a puzzle to be solved, deriving a sense of intellectual achievement. Finally, there is income. A successful trader can make seven figures in a year—and many of the traders I work with are living proof of that.

So why do they trade? Once you have the money, all of trading’s lifestyle advantages could easily be yours. Needs for competition and intellectual stimulation could be met in so many other ways. Why do traders remain traders long after they’ve won the game?

The great professions are those that serve as personal playing fields. They are the arenas we choose to express and develop ourselves. In mastering a discipline, we cultivate self-mastery. In writing a poem or placing a large trade, we capture—in a single act—our vision of how we see the world at that moment.

The great occupations are great precisely because they are such meaningful playing fields. Long after we’ve earned fame and fortune, the calling remains to be more than we are, to return to the arena and do battle with our limitations. The profound urge to extend the human grasp is common to all the great callings. To run faster, to capture more beauty, to predict ever better: in no small measure, our work is our pursuit of the godlike, however fleeting.

Maybe it is our different images of the godlike that animate our career choices.In work we find something divine within ourselves. Whether as scientists, monks, or traders, we strive for those moments when we are just a little closer to perfection, a little nearer to immortality. That is why we trade"

.... Brett N. Steenbarger

Inspiration

The Parable of Talents...

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The Holy Bible: Matthew - Chapter 25.
