Bulls pull off a Green Candle to deny the Bears a 'Three Inside Down' #W1
March candle closes above the (earlier) Month Channel - new Month channel shown now... #M1, #W1& #D1.
Bulls come close to the all time High last week - 1576 - Bears defend this next resistance #M1.
Earlier in the week - 5 EMA and 13 SMA that we were watching - choose to deflect and give the Bulls some green #D1.
Triple top on Long Term Charts - keeps the Bear hopes high.
Bulls keep index above the 5 EMA on all three screens.
RSI #W2, and its MA re-crossed bullishly.



Bulls control all three screens and the Bears defend the 'All Time High' Line.



The Ellipses marked #M1, #W1 and #D1 indicate the hot spots on the long, medium and short term charts respectively.
As one can see - we are zooming into the action starting #M1 through #W1 and get up close in #D1.




Looking forward into the next Week:

Day channel's, bottom green line #D1, is the support for the Bulls.
Bulls aim for the all time high of the SP500 (1576) - resistance #W1 or #M1.
Price, below the 5 EMA on the EOW #3, is the point where the bears see strength.
Triple Top on the Long Term Screen, remains the bane of the Bulls for some more time
5 EMA and 13 SMA on day charts #D1, crossing near the 'All Time High' would be good for Bears.
Divergence on the MACD Histogram -  #D2 - yet to produce results for Bears.



With the price hovering close to the 'All Time High', focus is on that resistance and the Bull's ability to crack it.

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

We saw the 61.8% Fibonacci retrace of the last low (Jan'12) from Nifty's all time high #1, as support last week - we also saw the Feb'13 close of 5693 as the resistance.
Price initially went below support and then tried to take out the resistance 5693 on the last day of the week & month  - failing with a day high of 5692 - #1, #5.
Bears therefore manage the Three Outside Down which we studied in last week's post.
Position of the STS on the EOW, shows the Bull failure #4.
200 DMA on the EOD #5 - and the bottom channel line (green) provide support last week.



Price falls short of the Feb'13 month close of 5693 - March'13 closes at 5683 - 'Three Outside Down' Triggered #1.






Looking Forward into the next Week:

50 SMA and 200 SMA, convergence towards a death cross to be watched #5.
Getting above 5720, the 34 EMA on the Week Charts #3 - is important for Bulls to shoot for some weekly green - despite the Bearish pattern studied above.
Cross or deflection of the 5 EMA and 13 SMA to be watched #5.
Bullish divergence seen on the MACD #6 - helps a pull back.
Getting above the 5 EMA on the EOM #1 and EOW #3 also - gives the Bulls some more power.
Crashing below the 200 SMA #5, gives the Bears the honey.


The Three Outside Down's effect in the long term and a bounce in the short term seem to be happening together ..

Bulls resume the climb up, after last week's pause  #2..

Bearish Divergence apparent on the Oscillator #3.
Bulls would look at keeping the advantage - keeping clear of the Ichimoku Indicators.


Bears continue to wait for a reversal and getting below the Tenkan Sen - Bulls seek new highs..

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

Bulls have a better week and an answer to their prayers #1 & #2.
Oscillator continues to tick down #3.
Chikou Span deflects after the hair thin Bearish Cross and now can even be called a Bullish Deflection #1.



A Bullish Chikou Span Cross / Deflection, at this stage, if it can be held by the Bulls, marks a reversal...






Looking Forward into the next Week:

Getting above the Kijun Sen next Bull task #2.
Chikou Span staying above price line is must for Bulls #1.
A Bearish Cross of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen #2, is on unless Bulls take off from here and reach Feb'2013 levels...



Keeping above the Chikou Span, if Bulls reach Feb'2013 levels in the coming week - they would avoid a Bearish Tenkan Sen - Kijun Sen Cross.
