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

Patterns:

• The Bearish Harami which formed last weeks moves on to become the 'Three Inside Down' that we studied  on the weekly charts #W1.

Support & Resistance:

• Index continues to have the Day channel Top, Week Channel Top and Month Channel Top as resistances on the upside #M1, #W1 & #D1.
• The White Month Channel Top Line sends back the Bulls for the current dip #D1 or #W1.

Moving Averages:  

• Bulls just about defend the 13 SMA - Index Closes the week at the 13 SMA on the EOW #W1.
• 5 EMA and 13 SMA cross bearishly on the EOD charts #D1.
• 34 MVWAP gives way to the Bear attack on the Day charts #D1. 

Indicators:

• RSI 13 goes below the 50 mark after Divergence to Price became apparent #W2.
• Stochastic 34 3 4 (now on EOD) dips below oversold  #D2.
• Oscillator (now on EOM) dips below oversold - see earlier dips too #M2.

Bears take the Short Term Screen.

Looking forward into the next Week:

Patterns:

• On the Medium Term Chart the Three Inside Down we studied last week is still on #W1. (Study Links here, here or anywhere else.)

Support & Resistance:

• New All Time High and all the Channel Tops Red, Blue and White #D1, are the next resistances for the Bulls.The 76.4% Fibonacci Retrace #M1 - is the next major support. 
• We also have the 34 MVWAP on the Day Chart #D1 and 34 MVWAP on the Week Chart #W1 as closer Resistance and Support respectively. 

Moving Averages:

• Staying above the 5 EMA on the EOM #M1 - shows long term strength of the Bulls.
• 5 EMA & 13 SMA  on the Medium Term Charts #W1 -  poised to cross Bearishly - to be watched.
• Getting below the 13 SMA on the Week Charts - EOW #W1 important for Bears.

Indicators:

• Oscillator #M2 keeping below oversold favors the Bears - notice that its repeating what it did in previous attempts.
• RSI sliding below its MA and the negative divergence to Price works for the Bears #W1

Bears look to the 'Three Inside Down' #W1 giving more gains, Bulls look for life above the 34 MVWAP on the EOD #D1.
