    Moving Averages:
    • On the EOW, 5 EMA will stay deflected, off the 13 SMA bearishly, if this week closes below 2116 #W1,
    Indicators:

    Learning from the Earlier Study:

    Index bounce from the Kijun Sen, yields another green week, for the bulls attempting a run to the ATH #W2.
    Chikou Span, stays way above the Price line #W1.
    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B, steady #W3.
    Gap between the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen narrows #W3.


    Wrap: 

    Bulls get more out of the bounce from the Kijun Sen #W2. 

    Despite the Tenkan Sen - Kijun Sen cross, Bears fail to get the index lower #W2.


    Looking Forward into this Week:



    Bulls need to keep the Chikou Span well above the Price line, to keep their advantage #W1.
    Index closing above the Kijun Sen and Tenkan Sen, (both strong supports last week) is good for Bulls #W2.

    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B is wide, making a thick Kumo - and a strong support to come #W3.
    Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen still in a bearish cross (Its called a 'Weak Bearish cross because it occurred when the index was Bullish i,e above the Kumo) - Bears still in the hunt #W2.



    Wrap:

    Index staying above the Tenkan Sen #W2, and Chikou Span above the Price line #W1, good reason for a Bull run to the ATH.
    Taking advantage of the Bearish Cross of the Tenkan Sen & Kijun Sen while it lasts #W2,, is the Bear hope.

    China SSEC - Ichimoku Study - Holding Lows - Week 2 of August 2015.





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


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

    Chikou Span steadies above the Price line #W1.
    Bulls find some life and hold index above last month's low #W2.

    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B  steady #W3.
    Gap between the Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen also steady #W2.


    Wrap: 

    After the Bearish Kijun Sen Cross, Bears fail to take out the previous low, Bulls get a green week after defending last month's low.



    Looking Forward into this Week:



    Index closing below the Kijun Sen (its called a 'weak bearish signal' as it occurred when the index was Bullish i,e. above the Kumo) works for the Bears #W2.
    Bears need to get the Chikou Span below the Price line, to maintain edge #W1. 
    Gap between the Senkou Span A & B staying wide, makes a thick Kumo and a strong support for the Bulls, when they get there #W3.
    Gap between the Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen steady -  bullish deflection or bearish cross still on #W2.


    Wrap:

    Getting back above the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen #W2, priority for Bulls.
    Bearish cross of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen #W2 along with close below last month's low is what the Bears want.
