Weekly 360° view – 15 / 2012

Summary

Last week’s call worked out only partially as we saw a minor dip though we stayed within my range of no more than 2%.

For this week we’ve got a mixed signal on the board. Due to last Friday’s non-farm payroll numbers futures are in the red. I do expect weakness to continue early in the week. Closing the week we will be flat.





Price Action

[bullish]

  • Direction: long term up, intermediate-term up
  • Historical ranked volatility: long-term bellow 0.50, intermediate-term between 0.50 and 0.75
  • Trend-health: long-term trending environment (TSI >1.65) and intermediate trend conditions are very low and lower than 5 days ago.
  • Channel: intermediate channel position very low
  • OB/OS: RSI(5)>25 and <50, RSI(10)>25 and <50, intermediate term time stretch in lower quartile.
Overall price action is providing a slightly bullish environment (B-J).
