  • January 2014 candle remains red #M1.
Support & Resistance:

Indicators:
  • RSI 13, slips from the overbought #W2.
  • Month Chart Oscillator below the overbought, as it has been after the August'13 Close #M2.


Wrap:

Looking forward into this Week:


Patterns:
  • Long Term Chart's Bullish 'Three Inside up' (Study link herehere or elsewhere) #M1 - seems spent.
  • Medium Term Chart shows a Bearish 'Three Inside Down' (Study link herehere or elsewhere) with the last three candles #W1. 
Support & Resistance:
  • MVWAP 34 and EOD channel Bottom on the Short Term Chart are now resistance for the Bulls.
  • Medium Term MVWAP 34 #W1, is the next Support.
Moving Averages:
  • Bears need to stay below the 5 EMA on the EOW (1817) to stay in the game #W1.
  • Bulls need to keep the 5 EMA on the EOW above the 13 SMA (i.e. keep above 1793) to get some life back #W1.
Indicators:
  • Stochastic 34 3 4 heading to the over sold, works for the Bears #D1.
  • Oscillator popping into the over-bought this month, can set the Bulls free #M1.  


Wrap:
Bears seek to keep their momentum with a stay below 1817 - Bulls want life back and the Index above 1793.
