Slide 3: S&P 500 INDEX
Slide 4: S&P 500 INDEX
Bull trend is intact Index stayed well above the Tenkan Sen and has not touched Kijun Sen since Oct 2010 From Nov 2010 til now, Tenken Sen stayed above Kijun Sen since the last Tenken Sen/Kijun Sen crossover Chikou Span is above index The current Kumo is thin but thickening
Slide 5: S&P 500 INDEX
Notice how the Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B (Kumo), Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen all show a rough 45 deg upslope Index broke the TD Sequential Risk Level at 1257.9801 5 weeks ago on a qualified basis (represented by a solid line) while TD Setup is in early count Expect a higher chance of a completion of TD Sequential Countdown
Slide 6: S&P 500 INDEX
Last week’s TD Setup perfection suggests a 1-4 period of correction High probability of a 1-4 weeks correction which would bring the index level closer to Tenken Sen and Kijun Sen, before continuing the bull trend.
Slide 7: DOW JONES INDUS. INDEX
Slide 8: the index is well in a bull trend.
DOW JONES INDUS. INDEX
Dow Jones Index was well supported by a thick Kumo from Jun 2010 to Oct 2010, rallying for another few months now Chikou Span is well above prices, with the Tenkan Sen above the Kijun Sen and index closed above the Tenken Sen for 21 weeks now Both the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen angles upwards Index is well in a bull trend
Slide 9: the index is well in a bull trend.
DOW JONES INDUS. INDEX
Thin Kumo ahead Weak region of support With the index far above the Kumo, we are concerned but not placing a high priority to the thin Kumo First line of defence really is still the Tenkan Sen (Magenta Line) and next the Kijun Sen (Yellow Line) Current TD Setup had broken up of the TD Sequential Risk Level at 11550.6396
Slide 10: the index is well in a bull trend.
DOW JONES INDUS. INDEX
This happened early in the count of TD Setup. There is a good chance this sell countdown would be completed The recent perfected TD sell setup might push the index into a 1-4 bar correction We expect the index to maintain a bull trend with high probability of a short term correction (1-4 weeks)
Slide 11: NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX
Slide 12: NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX
NASDAQ’s curent bull trend is intact with prices staying well above the Kijun Sen for 20 weeks now Chikou Span is above prices The Tenkan Sen, Kijun Sen as well as the Kumo all angle upwards Bull trend is still in play Watch for a TD Sequential Countdown completion in coming months First line of defence is the support at Tenkan Sen
Slide 13: HANG SENG INDEX
Slide 14: HANG SENG INDEX
Hang Seng Index is stuck between the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen Otherwise Tenkan Sen is above Kijun Sen, Chikou Span above index and index is trading above support region of Kumo Note how the Tenken Sen, Kijun Sen and Kumo are in a flat horizontal zone We expect Hang Seng to trade sideways with first line of support at Kijun Sen (22680.4297). The thin Kumo weeks ahead might not be sufficient support
Slide 15: NIKKEI 225
Slide 16: NIKKEI 225
Chikou is above prices Following the Tenkan Sen Kijun Sen bullish crossover on weak resistance (thin Kumo) Dec 2010, prices stayed above Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen. Prices also stayed above the Kumo While these are bullish signs, we are cautious due to the structure of the Kumo forming The Nikkei has been stuck in a trading range for close to 2 years now Notice how the Kumo twists belly up and belly
Slide 17: SHANGHAI SE COMPOSITE
Slide 18: SHANGHAI SE COMPOSITE
Shanghai Index is drifting in the cloud with no clear directions at the moment Kumo gets thinner, index action is happening inside the Kumo Wait for clearer gloomy or clear blue skies scenario before getting more excited A week ago, index was stuck inside the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen. There was a medium strength bearish crossover but the Chikou Span was above prices. Sideway trading expected to be the path of least
Slide 19: KOSPI INDEX
Slide 20: KOSPI INDEX
Index closed significantly below Tenkan Sen last week Chikou Span has been above prices for months, Tenkan Sen rising steadily above Kijun Sen. The Kumo is also thickening recently, providing strong support. Do watch the flat Kijun Sen and Senkou Span B. The next line of defence is the Kijun Sen at 1920.13.
Slide 21: Astra International
Slide 22: Astra International
Astra International completed TD Sequential Sell Countdown in Oct 2010 and prices started coming off, dropping below the Tenkan Sen. Currently, the Tenkan Sen had crossed below the Kijun Sen, producing a weak bearish crossover with the Kumo providing good support. Both the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen are flat currently. This is aligned to the fact that prices would hit into the Kumo in coming weeks,
Slide 23: GENTING SINGAPORE
Slide 24: GENTING SINGAPORE
Genting SP has been one of our favourite stock commentary pieces of late We mentioned weeks back how prices are failing to break above the TD Sequential Risk Level in a qualified basis, aligning with the high probability of a convergence of prices to the Kijun Sen.
