    Bears close the week inside the Kumo #W2.
    Chikou Span crossed below the Tenkan Sen, well below the Price line #W1.
    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B, steady #W3.
    Gap between the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen narrow, but steady #W3.


    Wrap: 

    Bulls lose advantage, as Bears close inside the Kumo last week #W2.


    Looking Forward into this Week:



    Chikou Span is crossed  below the Price line (Its called a 'Weak Bearish cross because it occurred when the index was Bullish i,e above the Kumo) #W1.
    Index getting above the Kumo, is the next Bull hope #W2.
    The narrow gap between the Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen, good for Bulls, as a re-cross is easier #W2.


    Wrap:

    Bears on top, with the index floating into the Kumo #W2. Bulls have this week, to manage a bounce out of it.

    • The Death Cross (50 and 200 SMA) is active and thriving #D1.

    China SSEC - Ichimoku Study - Kumo Float - Week 4 of September 2015.





    Introduction / Primer to Ichimoku can be read at this link (click). 


    Learning from the Earlier Study: 
    (click here for the previous post)


    Bulls unable to keep up with the rising Kumo, Bears have edge as Last Week's red candle floats into the Kumo  #W1.

    Chikou Span turns down below the Price line and the Tenkan Sen #W1.
    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B, narrow to touch point, steady #W3.


    Wrap: 
    After the bearish Chikou Span cross, Bears float into the Kumo #W1.
    Bulls take solace in the steady gap at the Senkou Span A & B #W3.




    Looking Forward into this Week:


    Bearish Kumo break-in, progressing - bad news for Bulls they do not pull above Kumo #W2.

    Bearish Chikou Span Cross (its called a 'weak bearish signal' as it occurred when the index was Bullish i,e. above the Kumo) in danger of a re-cross #W2.
    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B at #W3, is near closing - a Bullish Deflection or Bearish Cross Possible.



    Wrap:
    A Bearish Senoku Span cross & life inside the Kumo #W3, are what the Bears need, to keep their advantage.
    Getting back above the Kumo #W2, with a re-cross by the Chikou Span to above the Price line #W1, is the Bull strategy for survival.
