SPX & TRAN - two year chart view for the:

1. SPX daily closes chart
2. SPX price bars within their 65,2 BB channel
3. the Horizontal SPX price lines I placed on the chart
represent the potential horizontal support & resistance locations, and the $1800 downside goal for the current declining sequence since last week of December is placed on the chart settings
as a pink Horizontal line



chart #2 -

39ema representing the 5% trend vs. the 200ema (trend direction)confirmation for the S&P 500
cumulative Advance-Decline breadth line


* with the 39 vs. the 200 ema's having a bearish cross over to each other, the sellers have control until this A-D line pattern structure is negated at some time in the future

* the SPY 15,2 BB channel shown as the lowest chart element is a setting I learned from Jea Yu, (Secrets of the Underground Trader - author)

An EMA differs from a simple moving average (SMA) because it weights the
more recent data more heavily. An EMA employs a factor known as a “smoothing
constant” to give
a certain amount of weight to the current period’s data. An EMA which
uses a 10% smoothing constant, for example, would count today’s price or breadth data
value as 10% and yesterday’s EMA value as 90% for calculating today’s new EMA
value. Haurlan
simpl
ified the terminology by referring to such an EMA as a “10%
Trend”. A slower EMA which employs a 5% smoothing constant was termed a “5%
Trend”, and its value would be calculated by adding together 5% of today’s price or
breadth data and 95% of yesterdays
5% Trend value.
Haurlan advocated the use of a
variety of different smoothing constant values for stock market analysis, depending on
