Looking forward into this Week:

Patterns:

• The second weekly 'Opening White Marubozu' (Study link here, here or elsewhere) of March is now active - it continued the consolidation process last week #W1. 

Support & Resistance:

• 13 SMA on the Week Charts (1836) #W1, continues as support for the Bulls for the 7th week now, while the Week Channel Top #W1 remains resistance.

Moving Averages:

• Bullish cross or Bearish Deflection of the 5 EMA and the 13 SMA on the EOD #D1 is on the cards as they are in close proximity. 

Indicators:

• Stochastic 34 3 4, slipping below the over-bought zone, works for the Bears #D2. 
• TSI staying above the 76.4% Fibonacci retrace line, favors the Bulls #M2.

Wrap:

Bears hope to get below 1836 - Bulls need the 5 EMA crossing above the 13 SMA on the EOD #D1.
