Analysing the Nikkei 225: Insights from the 50D-Moving AverageBy Eric Lee , Sales Director from Phillip Nova 50-day Moving Average and Historical Scenario The 50-day moving average often serves as a key consolidation level for the Nikkei 225. Historically, after significant up or down movements, the index tends to consolidate around this average before resuming its trend. A notable example occurred between mid-July and mid-November 2023. Following a rise from 26,000 to 34,000 points from mid-March to midJune 2023, the index consolidated around the 50-day moving average for 5.5 months before breaking out and continuing its uptrend. Current Market Performance Currently, since early April, the Nikkei 225 has been oscillating along the 50-day moving average. The suggested resistance level is at 39,460 points. A break above this level could indicate a resumption of the uptrend. Conversely, if the index falls below 36,700 points, it would be prudent to exit positions as this level serves as a cut-loss point. Monitoring these levels can help in making informed trading decisions.

Where my 40k NKD target came from & why it could go higher laterI've been giving warnings ever since the c0v1d black swan, and especially since the 25k re-test, that Nikkei will grow wings but here's a seeing-is-believing look at where my 40k target comes from For sure it could go higher later and break this key resistance but I would expect at least one more re-test of the navy blue channel beforehand In theory there's no reason why a solid year can't be spent consolidating under that resistance a la 2006 Some very notable calls in recent years: SPREADEX:NIKKEI and TVC:DJI both to 40k (over 1y in advance) CRYPTOCAP:BTC pico bottom at 15k and recent local top at 70k FX:EURUSD pico bottom & TVC:DXY pico top at 115 TVC:USOIL pico bottom at 68 NASDAQ:SMCI mega breakout at 100 NASDAQ:NVDA mega support at 120 NASDAQ:TSLA pico bottom at 105 NASDAQ:NFLX pico bottom at 165

Japanese Equities Remain Compelling Despite Record Crushing RiseAnimal spirits are palpable in the Land of Rising Sun. Nikkei-225 smashed through it previous all-time-high set more than 40 years ago. Japanese equity markets have turned steaming hot over the past year after stagnation through lost decades. Strong foreign investment inflows, positive impact from the corporate governance reforms, portfolio rebalancing away from China, and low valuations, are collectively serving as robust tailwinds for the Japan equity market. Yet risks remain from an early BoJ policy pivot, high inflation eroding spending power, and limited domestic capital investment. This paper delves into factors driving record rally of Nikkei-225 index, its outlook, and posits a hypothetical trade to benefit from its continued ascent. WIDE RANGING REFORMS IN PLAY TO BOOST MARKETS. IS IT WORKING? In 2022, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”) embarked on market restructuring plan with the creation of new market segments. Source: Tokyo Stock Exchange TSE rolled out a raft of corporate governance reforms in March 2023. It summarized key initiatives that investors aspire to see into fruition, namely (a) Weigh the cost of capital from investors perspective, (b), Report profitability and valuation metrics from multiple perspectives, and (c) Allocate resources to improve corporate value. Reforms aim to boost capital efficiency by utilizing excess cash reserves held by Japanese firms. Price-to-book ratio (“PBR”) is a key metric in TSE’s cross hairs. As of 31/Dec , more than half the firms that have submitted disclosures have a PBR of less than one. PBR less than one suggests that a firm’s dissolution value is greater than its market cap. Data Source: TSE Even among some of the largest firms in the country, PBR is less than 1. Data Source: TV Stock Screener A TSE Review shows that firms are allocating additional resources towards growth initiatives. It suggested share buybacks and dividends were effective means for improving profitability. Impact of the reforms are visible in many ways. Higher shareholder returns (through dividends and buybacks) are already manifest across many firms. Still, there is a long way to go. Disclosures and reforms are not widespread yet. As smaller firms join, capital investment could spread wider. Data Source: TV Stock Screener Also, while dividend growth is high, capex growth remains low. A focus on investor returns improves stock valuations in the near term. However, a larger push towards long-term capital investments will be required for long-term sustained growth. Capital spending by firms surged 16.4% YoY in Q4. Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is pushing for its citizens to invest in domestic firms rather than save. He has re-launched the NISA tax-free investment programme. It provides extended tax-exemption periods and higher annual investment limits. The scheme, if successful, could channel large chunks of new capital into Japanese equities. Domestic participation remains low for now. Japanese investors prefer foreign stocks over domestic ones as per a Morningstar study . VIBRANT FOREIGN INFLOWS IN JAPANESE EQUITIES While domestic investors are yet to embrace its domestic markets, foreigners are leading the charge. US investors have poured USD 8.3B into Japan focused ETFs ( AMEX:EWJ , AMEX:BBJP , and AMEX:DXJ ) since 2023. JAPANESE EQUITIES REMAIN UNDERVALUED Japanese equities remain under-valued. Warren Buffet famously invested USD 6 billion during the pandemic in Japanese trading giants citing that he was offered a “ridiculous price”. Despite the recent market surge, P/E for stocks in the Nikkei-225 stands at mere 20.8x. Comparatively, stocks in the S&P 500 have an average P/E of 34.9x. Data Source: TV Stock Screener Nikkei-225 valuations are even more attractive when adjusted for growth. Average (excl. outliers) TTM PEG ratio for Nikkei-225 firms is 1.3x while for the S&P 500 its 2.5x. Data Source: TV Stock Screener Low profit growth remains a concern for Japanese firms. According to the Japan Ministry of Finance figures , ordinary profits rose by 13% YoY in Q4 2023, while high, that’s slower than 21% during Q3 2023. JAPAN IS ALSO AN AI BENEFICIARY Tokyo Electron, Renesas, and Advantest, constituents within the Nikkei-225 index have emerged as AI rush beneficiaries. Specifically, Tokyo Electron has surged more than 58% YTD. Softbank is another top performer thanks to its investment in $ARM. Heatmap of Nikkei-225 with key firms that comprise a large weightage in the index highlighted in blue. Nikkei-225 is a price-weighted index. Tokyo Electron commands the second largest weight in the index at 9.4% due to its high price. Advantest is third with 4.7%. Softbank ranks fourth with 4.45%. Therefore, a sustained AI fuelled market rally is likely to positively impacting the index. Not just the chip stocks, the Nikkei rally has been top-heavy due to outperformance of other large stocks too. Fast Retailing (the top weight in the index) is also supported by strong tailwinds and solid financial performance which has clocked a 26% rise YTD (versus 19% jump in the index). If outperformance among the large Japanese firms continue, the Nikkei will continue to race at a fast pace. NIKKEI IS STARTING TO FACE HEADWINDS Despite impressive performance and bright outlook, cause for concerns exist in the near term. Rising concerns that the BoJ may exit its loose monetary policy sooner than previously expected could snap the rally. Inflation has started to rebound. Wage growth estimates are solid. Revised figures for capital spending are expected to show that the economy avoided a technical recession in Q4. The benchmark index is starting to face resistance. An earlier than expected BoJ pivot could put brakes on this rally. Some market participants expect the BoJ policy pivot as soon as the 19/March policy meeting. Most expect the pivot to occur at the 26/April meeting. A consensus on the exact meeting has not been reached among BoJ officials according to Bloomberg . HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP Nikkei is benefiting from strong tailwinds. It also faces the risk of a near-term correction, particularly from anticipated strengthening of the Yen. A hypothetical long position in the Yen denominated CME Nikkei-225 index futures with an entry upon near term correction is posited for a superior reward-to-risk ratio. The following hypothetical trade setup comprising of a long position in the Nikkei-225 Yen Denominated futures expiring in June (NIYM2024) benefits in case the Nikkei-225 rises. As the payout from the position is denominated in Yen, a strengthening of the Yen will serve as an additional boost to the dollar P&L. • Entry: 37,900 • Target: 41,690 • Stop Loss: 35,000 • Profit at Target: ¥1,895,000 ( (41690 – 37900) x 500 Yen/index point) • Loss at Stop: -¥1,450,000 ( (35000 – 37900) x 500 Yen/index point) • Reward-to-Risk Ratio: 1.3x MARKET DATA CME Real-time Market Data helps identify trading set-ups and express market views better.

Nikkei Trading In An Impulse Sequence Favor Continuation HigherThe Short-Term Elliott Wave view in Nikkei (NKD_F) suggests that the rally from the 04 October 2023 low is unfolding in an impulse sequence favoring more upside to take place. In which the previous rally to 33780 high ended wave 1. Then a pullback to 32195 low ended wave 2. Up from there, the rally to 37010 high ended wave 3 & made a pullback in wave 4. The internals of that pullback unfolded in a double three structure. Whereas wave ((w)) ended at 35700 low. A bounce to 36290 high ended wave ((x)) and ended wave ((y)) at 35671 low. Thus completing wave 4 pullback. Up from there, the index has made a new high already above 37010 high confirming the wave 5 higher. Also, the rally from the 35671 low is unfolding in an impulse sequence where lesser degree wave (i) ended at 36535 high as a diagonal. Down from there, a lesser degree pullback to 35835 low ended wave (ii) & started the next leg higher towards 37290 high to end wave (iii). Below from there, the index is doing a short-term pullback in wave (iv) towards 36789- 36567 area lower. From there, the index is expected to resume the upside or should produce a 3 wave reaction higher as long as the pivot from 35671 low stays intact.

Nikkei (NKD_F) Looking for Further Downside CorrectionShort Term Elliott Wave view in Nikkei (NKD_F) suggests that rally to 37014 ended wave 3. Wave 4 pullback is currently in progress as a double three Elliott Wave structure. Down from wave 3, wave (a) ended at 36060 and wave (b) ended at 36590. Down from there, wave i ended at 36115 and wave ii ended at 36425. Wave iii ended at 35910, wave iv ended at 36330, and final leg wave v ended at 35700. This completed wave (c) of ((w)) in higher degree. The Index then rallied in wave ((x)) with internal subdivision as an expanded flat. Up from wave ((w)), wave (a) ended at 36290 and wave (b) ended at 35680. Wave (c) higher ended at 36410 which completed wave ((x)) in higher degree. The Index has turned lower in wave ((y)), but it still needs to break below wave ((w)) at 35700 to rule out any double correction. Down from wave ((x)), wave i ended at 35820 and wave ii ended at 36165. Expect the Index to see further downside to end wave (a) of ((y)) as an impulse. Then it should rally in wave (b) of ((y)) before turning lower again in wave (c) of ((y)) of 4. Near term, as far as pivot at 37014 high stays intact, expect rally to fail in 3, 7, 11 swing for further downside.

Which is the best market to invest in, Asian or European?Which is the best market to invest in, Asian or European? Recent economic data do not bode well for Europe: the eurozone economy is expected to contract in the third quarter and not return to significant growth. Despite having avoided a recession following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the eurozone is struggling with several problems. Rising energy prices, high financing costs, and falling demand in export markets such as China are straining the region's economy. The European economy is currently going through a difficult phase of stalling. According to the flash Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the eurozone, composed by S&P Global and considered a reliable indicator of overall economic health, we are below 50 points with a reading of 47.1. This is a worrying figure that signals a negative economic condition in the region. The manufacturing sector continues to be the main obstacle, with a steadily worsening order situation. Due to high financing costs affecting the disposable income of indebted consumers, many are reducing their spending. This is also reflected in the index of new businesses in the service sector, which fell to 46.4 from 46.7, reaching its lowest level since February 2021. According to S&P Global, the two largest countries in the area led the decline in economic activity. Although the crisis is easing in Germany, the situation is worsening in France. It is well known that the German manufacturing sector has been going through a difficult period recently. The French economy has suffered a setback, with both the service and manufacturing sectors deteriorating since November 2020. Weak demand has been observed across the country, and confidence for the next 12 months has declined significantly. The French economy is heading for difficult times. Given the current economic conditions, I prefer not to invest in the U.S. (US 500) and European indices (DAX) at this time, mainly because of rising inflation and aggressive central bank policy. Betting on the Italian market (FTSE MIB) is also risky. Public debt in Italy is very high and is having a negative impact on bond yields, affecting debt costs. With a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 140 percent, Moody's (NYSE:MCO) currently ranks Italy at Baa3, just one notch above junk, with a negative outlook. Currently, I am focusing my investments on the Asian market, particularly the Nikkei 225 and Hang Seng index. In Japan, inflation is under control and interest rates are negative. In China, after eight years, the government has resumed buying stocks, and even if only slightly, we have seen a lowering of interest rates. I also follow Bitcoin and mining companies closely. With the possible approval of ETFs underway and the growing acceptance of Bitcoin by companies-the latest to join was Ferrari-there is a strong likelihood of seeing new price records by 2024.

NIKKEI: Bull Flag broken upwards. Target 34,000Nikkei crossed over its late three month Channel Down pattern which according to the almost +30% rise that preceded it, may be the Bull Flag that technically follows and transitions into the next rally. The 1D technical outlook already turned bullish (RSI = 58.030, MACD = 173.400, ADX = 33.840) and as the 2021 fractal, targets the R1, or at least a little under it (TP = 34,000). See how the 1D MA100 supported the downtrend on the August 17th bottom and shortly after a Bullish Cross on the 1D MACD followed. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##
