Nikkei 225 JPN225 CFD
Equity Sell Off to Continue?My analysis on the equity pairs are still intact from the previous week. Called the first swing, and we got it. Can we expect another swing to the downside?
Some interesting set ups are on the daily chart. These charts have broken on the daily and are now retesting. These include the Dow 30 (pictured above), the Russell 2000, and the Nikkei.
Some charts have not yet made the daily break. This includes the Nasdaq and the German Dax.
Equity Markets More Downside? Swing to Form.Have been speaking about the equities showing interesting exhaustion patterns. Well, we had the break and quite the run lower. Today, the day before the Fed, we have had a move up. Many already saying look how strong the market is, shaking off fears of the coronavirus and other world events. Not so fast, market structure was expecting this pullback, and until we close above the previous break out zone, we can still make another lower high swing.
To preface, I expect markets can still go higher because there is nowhere to go for yield. I have spoken about this in many posts. Equities is the only place to go for yield with central banks depressing interest rates. Central Banks can control the short term rates, but not the long term rates. QE was a way to manage long term rates by effectively purchasing long term bonds, thereby depressing long term interest rates. The world has been forced to go into real estate or stocks for yield. Pension funds especially, who have always been very much into fixed income, but now cannot make their 8% a year when some pension funds are from 60%-100% in bonds. I argue these pension funds have been forced into stocks, and if stocks ever fall a lot, there will be big issues.
Of course, the Fed will keep this market up with cheap money. Again, they are forcing money into stocks as it is the only place to go for yield. We have Fed chair Powell speaking tomorrow, and the Fed is expected to NOT cut interest rates. However, Powell will still have to present a dovish stance to appease markets. Hopefully it is not another boring press conference like December, where it seemed like the Fed was stalling.
Again, we do expect stocks to pullback here and there. This is normal for market structure. Presented are a multitude of equity set ups with nice charts.
All of them have had an uptrend, and a stalling/exhausting pattern. These are either ranges or even potential head and shoulders forming. With this in mind, we should expect a lower high which is not formed and we are expecting potential lower highs to form in these set ups. Again, the safe way to play this trade is to await the lower low break to CONFIRM the lower high. If we break above the breakout zones then this is nullified, which can potentially happen as I have presented why money has to be in equities.
The S&P had a nice double top pattern and a break below the flip zone. It has extended quite a lot and naturally we were expecting a pullback. Will it go all the way back to the break out zone at 3310? Or will we see some action at these fib levels.
The Nasdaq breakout did not look as good as the S&P's because we would have liked to see a pattern. Was hoping for a head and shoulders with a bounce up before breaking below 9111 but it did not happen. Now we await for a lower high.
The Russell 2000 setting up a head and shoulders on the daily potentially.
The Nikkei 225 as well. Double top as well.
The German Dax has a set up on the daily, but still requires a long way down before testing the big support zone on the daily chart. There is a play here on the 4 hour chart that looks appealing. Again, awaiting the swing.
The UK FTSE retesting the breakout zone, although I would avoid due to the Brexit deadline coming up.
The French CAC had a nice break of a flip zone.
The Spanish IBEX/ESP also similar.
Euro Stoxx 50 is interesting because although the chart looks similar to the CAC and IBEX, the exhaustion occurred at a major resistance zone, at previous all time highs.
Perhaps the cleanest is the AUS200. Again, retesting a break out zone and potentially can form a lower high. You can see the break out and move lower is very extended.
Overall, this is normal for market structure. We shall see if we get the first swing, and potentially another swing.
#NIK225,Signal with huge potentialPerfect resistance line, the NIK225 has already been stopped twice in the above resistance line and it seems that this time it will also fail to break.
The Stochastic in Overbought, and has the same model as it had in the previous 2 times.
The trend is an uptrend but following the data we mentioned above, we recommend sell
Target: 22000
Nikkei: Potential pull back towards the 1D MA200.Nikkei has been on a strong 1D uptrend since the August rebound on the 20,115 1W Support and just recently 1D turned neutral (STOCHRSI = 53.869, ADX = 18.607, Highs/Lows = 0.0000) showing possible signs of exhaustion.
The 1D RSI is on a bearish channel, diverging from the price action and that could be a first sign of a short term trend change.
We have traced this behavior back on the last time NI225 had a Golden Cross bull run of a similar pattern and that was in late 2016 - early 2017. After the bull run took a pause on January 2017, the RSI also printed a bearish divergence and the index consolidated for roughly 2.5 months before pulling back towards the 1D MA200. That was the first important test of that uptrend and was successful as the price rebounded on the 1D MA200 which acted as a Support all the way until the January 2018 High.
We are expecting a similar behavior this time also and advice investors to wait for a pull back near the 1D MA200 before buying again and target the 24,450 1M Resistance.
We want to point out at this stage that Nikkei's horizontal levels have been working well enough on the long term and this is what helped us buy the pull backs on the Support Zones before, as you see on the chart below:

JPN225: Nikkei potentially confirming a yearly uptrend soon...The Nikkei has been in an insane climb lately, and Japan as a whole, has been presenting more attractive valuations overall, than US or Europe stocks. Personally, I'm long EM equities, and some US ones, but, Japan does have a valid uptrend in the intermediate term, and soon in the long term as well. One concern you may have is mainly demographic, if you factor in the population aging, which could contribute to a slow down of growth over the long haul, as well as potential geopolitical risks, being so darn close to 'Rocket man'. Talking of Rocket man, did you know there was a Megaman prototype game called like that, before it was called Rockman X in Japan? I didn't either: www.youtube.com
Funny stories aside, wether Trump is a Megaman fan or not, this is a significantly interesting chart to monitor for bullish setups in select japanese equities.
Best of luck,
Ivan Labrie.
Nikkei USDJPY ratio at a very significant levelTVC:NI225/USDJP is at the same level it was in 1991,1995,1997,2018. The horiztontal trendline extends from 1990-2019 nearly 30 years. A closing above this trendline on a monthly basis will signal a bullish scenario in the Japanese stock market in my opinion.
