Support & Resistance:

Moving Averages:

• 5 EMA and 13 SMA on the EOW #W1 would cross bearishly at a Index reading below 1814.  

Indicators:

• Stochastic 34 3 4, slipping into the over-sold zone, works for the Bears #D2.

Learning from the earlier Study: (click here for the post)

Bull - Bear stand-off  continues around the ATH #W2.
Senoku Span A & B gap widens #W3.
Gap between the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen narrows as in a broad deflection #W2.
At present height, the Chikou span seen running into the Price Line #W1.


Wrap: Index on pause near ATH - broad ranging continues for 15th week #W2.




Looking Forward into this Week:

Gap between Senoku Span A & B, if holding steady or increasing - good for Bulls #W3.
Bearish Cross or Bullish Deflection of Tenkan Sen & Kijun Sen, would show direction going forward before Price line gets too close to the Kumo $W2.
Bulls wary of the Chikou span bearishly crossing the Price line #W1.


Wrap: Bulls want the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen staying apart #W2, Bears look to run into the Kumo soon #W3.
