SPX 30-Minute Chart 8 MA Under 34 MA Bearish
The 30-minute chart with 8 and 34 MA cross is one of Keystone's turn signals. Reference the Turn Signal page on this site. Yesterday, at about 2 PM EST, the 8 stabbed down thru the 34 MA which signals bearishness for the days ahead. Of course, if the 8 MA catapults bck up thru the 34 MA, on the Fed and ECB news, then the bulls will regain control. Price has made a lower low over the last six days and the indicators are weaker as well, a weak and bleak profile. However, the MACD histogram is flatish and the stochastics are positively diverged which would like to see some price buoyancy.
Watch this chart closely today to see if the 8 stays under the 34 MA, or not, and also if the stochastics remain positively diverged. If SPX drops this morning, the stochastics can easily print lower nullifying any positive divergence and locking in further price weakness.

EMA's did not cross yet, that is interesting because you would think they would have crossed before the SMA's. Perhaps you are on to somethign MCAP, Keystone has simply always used the SMA's for this indicator. Probably will continue that way since the archived data is all set up that way. That will be interesting to see if the EMA cross occurs.
if a bull flag, which it may be, the second leg would likely start lower at 1375-ish, so it may be a sharp down move to say 1372 then load long for a ride up to top things (if the bull flag plays out).
I take it you prefer the simple moving average to the EMA... I use the EMA 8/34 on the SPX 30MIN
ReplyDeleteI see the 30 MIN as bull flag...
