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

Patterns:

• Index peeps out of the Ascending Triangle, makes a new high, throws back to the old ATH, on its trip towards the Day Channel's top line #D1.

Support & Resistance:

• Index closes at the previous ATH (All Time High) resistance #M1 & #D1, while support was around the 5 EMA on the EOD #D1.

Moving Averages:  

• The all important, 5 EMA and 13 SMA, on the medium term screen, continue to stay deflected bullishly #W1.

Indicators:

• RSI 13 is in the 50s #W2.

Wrap:

Bulls struggle to keep it above the previous ATH #D1, while the Bears could not take it below the 5 EMA on the EOD #D1.

Looking forward into this Week:

Patterns:

• Ascending Triangle and its behaviour, (on the Day Chart) worth a study (Study Links here, here or elsewhere) #D1.
• Bulls look to repeat History (re-look) #M1 & #M3, they need to break-out and stay above the Day Channel Top #D1 to help that cause.

Support & Resistance: 

• 5 EMA on the EOM (2063) #W1, is the Index Support that Bears want to get below. 
• Bulls seek to clear the ATH line #M1 and the Day Channel top line 2151 #D1, this week.

Moving Averages:

• Bulls by closing this Week above 2040, get to keep the 5 EMA above the 13 SMA on the Weekly Charts  #W1.

Indicators:

• TSI, support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retrace, good for the Bulls #M2.

Wrap:

Bulls, back inside the ascending triangle, look for a breakout and a resumption of the Bull run #D1.

Bears after hedging in the Bulls, look for a close below 2063 to get back in the red #M1.

After the Index found support at the Kijun Sen previously,it makes a new ATH last week #W2.

Looking Forward into this Week:

Bears eye the dwindling Thin Kumo #W2 (Study Links here, here or elsewhere) for an opportunity to dive into the Kumo.
Cross of Tenkan Sen, to below the Kijun Sen, is next on Bear wishlist #W2.
Chikou Span at current altitude, can meet up with the price line in a couple of months #W1.
