CNX Nifty 'End of Week' Technical Analysis: After week 13-17 Feb, 2012

Recap: Last week one saw the Fall of the Fibonacci 76.4% marked on the EOD charts (post here). We noted that our channel drawn a month ago - was exactly followed by the Price (post here) and in the same post, we also observed that some crossovers indicate the Bull Market's return, then we studied moving average crossovers - both for and against.


Nifty - End of Month Chart - 17 Feb  2012 - each candle is ONE MONTH
Nifty - End of Month Chart (EOM): Around mid December we had observed (post here) that a pullback to the Green line was possible (highlighted with a blue oval above) - at that Bearish time it looked a remote possibility - today that line looks tantalizingly close. This month's candle can touch the green line at approx 5747 and next month's candle approx 5838. Now, we shall zoom in for a closer look at the area marked in the blue rectangle - with the EOW chart below.


Nifty - End of Week Chart - 17 Feb  2012 - each candle is ONE WEEK
Nifty - End of Week Chart (EOW): Last week's candle has exactly touched our channel top (highlighted with a blue  oval above). Cracking last week's high should give us our new channel (shown in black) and the targets discussed in the EOM above. A consolidation around the channel top is healthy for the up move. We now study the area marked inside the blue rectangle with the EOD charts below.


Nifty - End of Day Chart - 17 Feb 2012 - DAILY close price in a line
Nifty - End of Day Chart (EOD): We are near channel top here also as observed earlier (post here).  The next leg of the up move or consolidation should be watched in sync with EOW and EOM notes above. Bulls remain strong above 5454. Throw back should be held by the Fib 76x line.


Looking forward: Channel tops, both on EOD and EOW, smell of consolidation. Bulls however have enough momentum to take the climb into a steeper channel up. Fundamental reasons (Budget and PIGS) may queer the pitch. Battle lines between Bears and Bulls are drawn for now, at the channel lines as studied above.

S&P 500 - End of Week Analysis - 17 Feb 2012 - Last year's high in sight...

S&P 500 - EOW Analysis - End of Week:  13 Feb to 17 Feb, 2012
The S&P 500 continues its steep rate of climb - like we observed last week (post here), the middle channel line is the current resistance. Bulls failed around these levels last year (see candles of April - May 2011) and that cluster of resistances also play a role in next week's action. 1376 is the middle channel resistance for next week and the number, the Bulls should look to beat.

EOD Analysis CNX Nifty - 17 02 2012 - Channels and Crossovers..

Nifty - End of Day Chart - 17 Feb 2012
It was about a month ago that we defined the channel you see on the EOD above (post here). We have a precise climax at the channel top happening now - 800 odd Nifty points later.

The crossover of the 34 EMA to above the 200 DMA on the EOD has significance from a long term view. So does the 5 EMA - 13 SMA cross on the EOM mentioned last week (post here). They usually signify the return of the Bull market.

Here are some free reads on MA crossover for the weekend....

EOD Analysis CNX Nifty - 15 02 2012 - To the channel top

Nifty - End of Day Chart - 15 Feb 2012
In the last post we wished for a more convincing close above the Fib76x (than the 2 point plus we got yesterday) - as seen above the price has closed well above the Fix 76x and almost at the Channel top (red line is approx. 5555 at this time). Range is as shown with the arrows. The MACD is also worth a look.

EOD Analysis CNX Nifty - 14 02 2012 - On the Summit again .. Fib 76x

Nifty - End of Day Chart - 14 Feb 2012
The last time we saw the Index close around the Fibonacci 76.4% on the EOD, the close was at 5412 (see post here). Today's close was at 5416. We approximated 5414 as the Fib 76x (see post here). From the hi-lighted zone on the price above, it looks like we can wish for a more convincing close above the Fib76x ! 

Double Top .. any takers? Here are some free reads I liked....

The hi-light on the MACD indicator (bottom of EOD chart) is also worth a view.
