08/12/2018: Markets were mixed for the week, as the Indices stalled near the resistance of the January Highs. It is normal for profit taking to come in at resistance, as many Investors who regretted not getting out in January decided to get out this time up. A normal “Bullish” scenario would be for the Markets to correct down near the Red Lines (50-day avgs.) and then shoot up thru the Highs with Huge Volume (see Chart above).
The “Bearish” scenario would be for the Markets to “Double Top” or form a “M” pattern, which would indicate a lack of new money and could cause Selling. We should find out soon.
The broader New York Stock Exchange with 2800 Stocks is weaker. For the week the Dow was down 0.59%, the S&P 500 was up 0.16%, and the Nasdaq was up 0.17%. The Long Term Trend on the Stock Markets is UP.
The Inflation Index (CRB) was down 0.80% and is Below the Green Line.
Bonds were up 1.21% for the week and Closed Above the Green Line, indicating Economic weakness.
The US DOLLAR was up 1.23% for the week, and made a 52-week High.
Crude Oil was down 1.26% for the week at $67.63, and GOLD was down 0.34% at $1219.

$64.04 is not the (50 day avg.) as per your chart – $64.04 is the EMA (10).
And the red line is the EMA (10) not the (50-day-avg,.).
Please confirm what is correct (the chart) or your notes.
Hi Jerry. The most accurate way to find the value of the Red Line (50-day avg.) is to go to the Watch List and click on the Green Dot to the right of the Symbol.
On Long Term Positions, the Green Dot will take you to the Daily Chart. On the Weekly Chart, the Red Line of 10-ema is 10 weeks, or 50 days of trading.
