Looking Forward into this Week:



Chikou Span can slide just below the Index, along the price line keeping the Bearish cross and pressure on any up-move #W1.
Index closing below the 'Kijun Sen', works well
 for the Bears (strong bearish signal as it happened when Price was below the Kumo) #W2.
Gap between the Senkou Span A & B is wide, making a thick Kumo - and a strong future resistance for Bulls #W3.
Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen make a Bearish cross - Bulls hope for a Bullish re-cross next #W2.



Wrap:

Defending the last major low of the Index, with a green week, is what the Bulls would focus on, this week.
Dominant Bears seek to get below the Jan 2015 low.
