B. The Chikou Span Cross (purple line) of the price line, crossed in and then out - so its Bullish and then Bearish - however with the price in the Kumo we consider the effect as neutral.

C. The Kijun Sen Cross (blue line) at week beginning is Bearish and Neutral as mentioned above.

D.  Price is almost near making a Bearish Kumo Breakout after staying below the Tenkan Sen (red line) and M VWAP 34 all week. The Senkou Span B that price is approaching, lies flat.

The Bears take the advantage, from Bulls in this screen.

CNX Nifty 50 - Triple Screen 'Technical Analysis' - Week: 09 April to 13 April, 2012 - Bears have the last word..

Recap: 

Our outlook, for the week gone by, on the S&P 500 was distinctly Bearish (click),

However, we choose to go with the Bulls for the Indian market (click).

Bulls kept up a stand off, while cat and mouse games ruled (click and click).

Right from under the Bull's Noses, Bears took the Index the global way, in the second half of Friday, leaving the Nifty blushing red.

What next?

CNX Nifty 50 - End of Month (EOM) Chart - 13 April, 2012. 

The last two red candles are inside the green candle of Feb'2012, in the long term chart above.

The 5 EMA would cross above the 13 SMA if the Nifty touches 5394 this month.

Currently the Bearish Harami's (Feb/Mar candles) effect, is on.

Nifty closed above the 5 EMA, Bulls remain in control of the Long term screen.

Slipping just under the 34 EMA, Bulls have lost the advantage.

The medium term trend had bucked Global Bearishness, until the second half of Friday.

The Bulls would want to get back above the 34 EMA, while the bears would aim for our channel bottom (black).

CNX Nifty 50 - End of Day (EOD) Chart - 13 April, 2012.

The journey of the index, to below the green channel bottom, was after quite a fight, as the many touches tell.

The crossovers made by the 5 EMA and 13 SMA were too many in the end, but emphasized their utility.

The MACD stayed stubbornly, sub zero.

Inability of the Index, to get above the 34 EMA, all through the week was the key for Bears.

With the medium term and short term going Bear, Bulls would look at avoiding another Lower Low.

Looking Forward: 

One would watch global cues, as they seem to have a non-technical influence on the Index.

Above 34 EMA on the EOD, the Bulls can wrest back control.

The 200 DMA looks like the next stop once again.

The 34 EMA is above the 200 DMA...long term bullish.
Even if the Nifty loses a steady 50 points every session from here to month end, the 34 EMA would just about get even with the 200 DMA (Nifty would be at 4700 odd, by then :) .......).

S&P 500 - Triple Screen 'Technical Analysis' - Week: 09 April to 13 April, 2012 - Bears Stay over..

Recap: 

Our conclusion in last weekend's analysis was 'Time to Bear it" (click).

As one expected, the week showed us a red candle and price went all the way to the 'week' channel bottom.

Our Intra week EOD Analysis, suggested that Moving VWAP 35 was resistance zone(click).

Almost on cue, S&P 500, reversed from the MVWAP 34 resistance to end 2% in the red for the week.

Lets see, if the Bears are here to stay..

S&P 500: Long Term View (or) Month Chart with closing prices in a line graph (or) EOM Chart:

S&P 500 - End of  Month Chart (EOM) - 13 April, 2012. 

Index has closed below the 10 EMA.

From a long term perspective, its another correction.

Current position of the fast Stochastic is above the 80 mark, with crossover.

None of the short MAs have crossed yet.

Bulls are under a bit of pressure, Bears have a tiny toe hold.

S&P 500: Medium Term View (or) Week Chart, each candle is 1 week's price action (or) EOW Chart:

S&P 500 - End of  Week Chart (EOW) - 13 April, 2012.  

This screen made magic last week - following our call, almost to the letter.

Price reached the Channel bottom and is below all short MAs.

None of the MAs have crossed yet.

RSI heads towards mid point.

Bulls have let this screen stay neutral, with a clear chance of bouncing off the channel bottom.

S&P 500: Short Term View (or) Day Chart where each candle is 1 day's price action (or) EOD Chart:

S&P 500 - End of  Day Chart (EOD) - 13 April, 2012.  

The new Day channel is shown in Yellow.

Price has resistance at the M VWAP 34, and is nudging the channel top.

Staying above the M VWAP 34 and seeing a Bullish cross of some of the short term MAs above... would give strength to Bulls.

Looking Forward: 

Breaking the 'White' Week channel on the downside is the next task for the Bears.

Bulls would use this very channel to jump out of the Day channel and above the MVWAP 34 marked.

1333 is the mark on the EOW, where the 5 EMA crosses below the 13 SMA and Bears call the shots.

A daily dose of 10 points+ should see the Bulls in command by weekend, the 5 EMA would also have crossed above the 13 SMA at 1383 on the EOD.
Bears have given no sign of leaving the short term yet.
Week end updates shall be up.

EOD Technical Analysis, S&P 500 - 10 April 2012 - Bearing it..

S&P 500 - End of Day - 10 April  2012   

Our final line for last weekend's post (click) was a cheeky 'Time to Bear it'

We also suggested that if the Moving VWAP was compromised on the EOD, the index would head for the 'white' week channel's bottom line.

Precisely what has happened, as one can see from the chart.

In other news...

On the Ichimoku Study we made last weekend (click), the EOD screen sees the Kijun Sen (blue line) Cross which is a Weak Bearish Signal. 

EOD also has a Chikou Span (purple line) Cross which has the same property as the Kijun Sen cross, price being above the Kumo for both. 

Price is currently in the Kumo on EOD, as you would have seen by now.

The markets are rebounding even as we post this one.

Bulls need to cross above the 35 MVWAP (SP500 study) on the EOD and get above the Kumo (DJI Study) while they are at it..

..else one has to keep 'bearing it'

EOD Technical Analysis, CNX Nifty - 11 April 2012 - Cat and mouse..

Nifty - End of Day - 11 April  2012     

In our last intra week note (post below this one), we suggested that the Nifty was in Neutral - Stand Off mode.

We also suggested that channel break or 5 EMA / 13 SMA cross would give the bears, short term strength.

We further suggested that 5225 was the mark for the cross.

We have a close at 5227 today and higher yesterday.

Channel break of significance is yet to happen and the 5 EMA / 13 SMA are in touch.

Yet, based on global cues, Nifty played cat and mouse with the Bear zone, all week.

The short term remains Neutral, as it was for the last two posts.

Watch the 5 EMA / 13 SMA if its a cross or 'touch and go' (deflection).

Based on that Nifty could go bear or BULL !
