  • 5 EMA and 13 SMA cross bearishly on the EOD charts #D1.
  • 34 MVWAP gives way to the Bear attack on the Day charts #D1. 
Indicators:

  • Stochastic 34 3 4 (now on EOD) dips below oversold  #D2.
  • Oscillator (now on EOM) dips below oversold - see earlier dips too #M2.


Bears take the Short Term Screen.




Looking forward into the next Week:


Patterns:
  • On the Medium Term Chart the Three Inside Down we studied last week is still on #W1. (Study Links herehere or anywhere else.)
Support & Resistance:
  • New All Time High and all the Channel Tops Red, Blue and White #D1, are the next resistances for the Bulls.The 76.4% Fibonacci Retrace #M1 - is the next major support. 
  • We also have the 34 MVWAP on the Day Chart #D1 and 34 MVWAP on the Week Chart #W1 as closer Resistance and Support respectively. 
Moving Averages:
  • Staying above the 5 EMA on the EOM #M1 - shows long term strength of the Bulls.
  • 5 EMA & 13 SMA  on the Medium Term Charts #W1 -  poised to cross Bearishly - to be watched.
  • Getting below the 13 SMA on the Week Charts - EOW #W1 important for Bears.
Indicators:
  • Oscillator #M2 keeping below oversold favors the Bears - notice that its repeating what it did in previous attempts.
  • RSI sliding below its MA and the negative divergence to Price works for the Bears #W1



Bears look to the 'Three Inside Down' #W1 giving more gains, Bulls look for life above the 34 MVWAP on the EOD #D1.
