    BSE Sensex - Ichimoku Study - Kijun Sen taken - Week 2 of April 2015.








    Introduction / Primer to Ichimoku can be read at this link (click). 


    Learning from the Earlier Study: (click here for the post)


    Bear's taste of life below the Kijun Sen is short lived, Bulls peek above the red line #W2.

    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B  #W3, as also the Tenkan Sen & Kijun Sen steady #W2.
    The Chikou span #W1 bounces at price line, answering the Bull's prayers.


    Wrap: Index just above the Kijun Sen #W2, Bulls get a Chikou Span bounce at Price line
     #W1




    Looking Forward into this Week:


    Chikou Span holding above the Price Line, is a clear relief for Bulls #W1.

    Narrowing gap between the Senkou Span A & B  #W3, as also the Tenkan Sen & Kijun Sen, opens possibility of bullish deflection or bearish cross #W2.


    Wrap: Bulls pray that the Chikou Span stays above the Price line #W1, helping the index stay above the Kijun Sen.

     Bears look to push towards the Kumo once again, with a move below the Kijun Sen #W2.
