CNX Nifty 50 - Triple Screen 'Technical Analysis' - Channel Top Resistance - Week 2 of February 2015.













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




Patterns:
  • The Top of the Weekly Channel - which we had been waiting on from April 2014 (post) keeps the Bulls down #W1. 
  • 'Bullish Engulfing' on the Long Term Charts, becoming a Three Outside Up, still some distance away #M1.
Support & Resistance:
  • Bears get 5 in a row, as all days of last week, see the Index closing below the 5 EMA on the Day Chart #D1.
  • Bulls get support on the Monthly Pivot #M1 and the 5 EMA on the EOW #W1.
Moving Averages: 
  • The critical 5 EMA and 13 SMA on the EOW, stay crossed Bullishly #D1.
Indicators:
  • STS stays in the over bought #W2.


Wrap:
Bulls find support at the Monthly Pivot after our long watched Weekly Channel Top resists the current up-move #M1. 
Bears prevent a Three outside Up possibility, by keeping the index below 8809  #W1.




Looking Forward into this Week:


Patterns:
  • Channel Top resistance of the Medium Term Channel, important for Bears #W1.
  • 'Bullish Engulfing' on the Long Term Charts, becoming a Three Outside Up (Study Links herehere or elsewhere) to be watched for #M1.
Support & Resistance:
  • Index resistances that the Bulls would want to get above this week, are the Wall for February 8952 and the 5 EMA on the EOD #D1.
  • Support Levels that the Bears would seek get below, are 8636 (5 EMA on the Weekly Charts) and 8480 (13 SMA on the Weekly Charts).
Moving Averages: 
  • Golden Cross (study herehere or elsewhere) of the 50 & 200 SMA is on - these MA's are currently converging #D1.
Indicators:
  • STS, staying above the overbought line, demonstrates the Bull domination of the Medium and Long Term Screens #W2.


Wrap :
Staying below the Daily 5 EMA, Bears seek to get stronger and get below the EOD channel's Mid-line #D1
Bulls look forward to a Three Outside Up triggering, with a February Close above 8809 #M1.

Index  goes red for the second week, giving the Bears hope of reaching the Tenkan Sen #W2.
Senkou Span A & B - gap steady #W3.
The gap between Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen narrows #W2


Wrap: Index heads back towards the range (around the Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen) - with another red week

S&P 500 - Triple Screen 'Technical Analysis' - Déjà vu? - Week 1 of February 2015.

















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


Patterns:
  • Bear hope stay up, after the last three Monthly Candles now make a 'Three Inside Down' - #M1.
  • Index closes below the 5 EMA on the Monthly Charts, after about 3 years - see pink arrow #M3 - and cause of the Déjà vu.
Support & Resistance:
  • Bulls close the index just above the MVWAP 34  on the EOW #W1 -  Bears manage a close below the long term 5 EMA #M1 - after around 3 years above it.
Moving Averages:  
    • 5 EMA and 13 SMA, on the medium term screen remains Bearishly Crossed  #W1.
    Indicators:
    • RSI 13 slides below the 50s #W2.

    Wrap:
    Bears trigger a Long Term Three Inside Down #M1.
    Bulls hold on, above the medium term MVWAP 34 #W1.




    Looking forward into this Week:

    Patterns:
    • Bears produce a 'Three Inside Down' #M1 on the Long Term Screen (Study Links herehere or elsewhere).
    • A failed 'Three inside down', which we studied about three years ago (here and here) - was seen when the Index slipped below the 5 EMA last time (pink arrow #M3). Exact set-up seen now - so that is worth a study #M1.
    Support & Resistance: 
    • MVWAP 34 on the EOW #W1 and the Monthly 13 SMA (1962), are supports the Bulls look to keep above, this week.
    • 2013 (5 EMA on the Month Chart #M1) is a key resistance, which Bears would want to stay below.
    Moving Averages:
    • The 5 EMA and 13 SMA on the Medium Term Charts stay crossed bearishly as long as the index is below 2098 #W1.
    Indicators:
    • TSI, slipping below the 76.4% Fibonacci retrace, cheers the Bears #M2.


    Wrap:
    Bulls hope History would repeat itself, and another Bull run would emanate from the current set-up #M1.
    Bears seek to use their advantage this time, and keep below the 5 EMA on the Long Term Charts #M1.
