JAPAN as a HERO? UP! GOKU Last Fight! JAPAN is the last one to join the party! The final fight for the #BlowoffTop. Why is this so important? If you look at correlations with BTC, global liquidity, China, the Fed’s interest rates, and more, Japan plays a key role. After China, Japan is the next to wake up and give the final push to this Bull Market. The last time the Nikkei dropped more than 25% was during the COVID crash. What happened next? It rallied 26% in the first 52 days and extended its Bull Market to over 88% from the bottom. With the current Carry Trade crisis (still unresolved), the TVC:NI225 has dropped more than 25% again, and guess what? It’s up 26% in the first 52 days... History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. It’s feeling like 2017 all over again... What do you think? 🚀📈Longby PickleBiit4
Nikkei 225: Volatility and New BoJ PoliciesJapan's Nikkei 225 index posted a volatile week, closing Friday with a slight decline of 0.08%, adding up to a weekly loss of more than 3%. This decline reflects the uncertainty that dominates among investors, who are assessing the risks associated with both global geopolitical tensions and domestic economic policies. Factors such as rising oil prices, driven by conflicts in the Middle East, and expectations about possible adjustments in the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) monetary policy have created a climate of caution in financial markets. The sensitivity of the Nikkei 225 to these global events is evident, and many investors are awaiting further clarity on the BOJ's decisions. Although the Japanese yen has shown weakness during the week, cautious comments from both Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Finance Minister Ryosei Akazawa suggest that changes in monetary policy should be aligned with the government's broader objectives, such as ending deflation and raising wages. On the economic front, Prime Minister Ishiba has made a significant shift in his approach from a stance of fiscal austerity to a strategy of economic stimulus. Under his leadership, the Japanese government is preparing a stimulus package aimed at alleviating high household living costs. This package will include subsidies to local governments and direct payments to low-income families, as well as a firm commitment to raise the minimum wage to 1,500 yen per hour. These policies are intended to encourage spending and support economic recovery ahead of the October 27 general election. The success of these measures will be key not only to revitalizing the economy, but also to restoring confidence in financial markets. The Nikkei 225, as one of the country's leading stock market indicators, will continue to be a crucial barometer of how investors perceive the effectiveness of the government's policies in addressing Japan's economic challenges. Looking at the chart of Nikkei 225 (Ticker AT: JP225) we can see that the current checkpoint of 38,600 points is located in the area of 61.80% of the last Fibonacci retracement so its current resistance zone is likely to hold at 39,450 points. It shows a constant stability in the last week if we look at the volume indicator and observing the RSI at 55.42% does not really show excessive overbought, so we have to see the effect of the new policies to see if it pierces this mentioned resistance or otherwise plummets again to the support zone of 36,650. Global Market Commentary Crude oil prices are on track to post their biggest weekly gain in more than a year, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East. This rise in oil prices may have direct implications for the Japanese economy, which relies heavily on energy imports. As for gold, it has shown a slight rise, suggesting that investors are seeking refuge in safe-haven assets amid global uncertainty. This trend may influence risk appetite in Asian markets, including the Nikkei. USD/JPY has seen weakness in the yen, trading at 146.60 per dollar. Although the yen appreciated slightly in the last trading day, its weekly decline of about 3% raises doubts about the effectiveness of the BOJ's monetary policies in the context of inflationary growth. Finally, the MSCI Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan fell 0.32%, reflecting a general lack of confidence in Asian markets due to volatility in commodity prices and geopolitical tensions. This combination of factors suggests that the Nikkei 225 and other Asian indices could face additional challenges in the coming weeks.

retracement or reversal my last post i believe we were at a reversal area as such a strong rejection for .79 level but Monday will pave the way as price is at crucial area of either flying back up to ATH or going down to 30000 if you look at Nasdaq on daily it has just touched .382 from 19727 low to the high Nasdaq and Nikkei almost identical is their moves . also would have liked to see the daily candle volume bigger for a 7% move which tells me its more like a retracement. whichever way patient is required on Monday market will show you the way .im leaning on bullish bias over 15% either way from this area . trendline broke out and comeback to retest it is another confluence supporting the long bias JLongby ctutun794

Abenomics influence complicates Bank of Japan rate hikeThe Bank of Japan's (BOJ) expansionary monetary policy faces new challenges as the legacy of “Abenomics” clouds the path to an interest rate hike. With reflationary candidate Sanae Takaichi emerging as a key figure in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership race, expectations for tighter monetary policy are compromised. Takaichi openly opposes rate hikes, arguing that they could push Japan back into deflation. This policy stance increases pressure on the BOJ, which had already softened its approach to future hikes due to U.S. recession risks and global uncertainty. Although Governor Kazuo Ueda has stressed the need to avoid deflation, political influence could delay key decisions, especially if Takaichi wins or gains an influential position in the new government. The outcome of this situation will be crucial for the direction of the Japanese economy. Japanese stock markets were also affected by the economic uncertainty today, closing lower. The Nikkei 225 index closed down 0.25% on Wednesday, dragged down by declines in the gas, water, fishing and distribution sectors. Among the session's top stocks, Yaskawa Electric Corp. rose 5.59%, while Kyowa Kirin Co Ltd was the worst performer, falling 13.11%. USD/JPY rose 0.19% to 143.49, reflecting the impact of political tensions and expectations about the BOJ's monetary policy.

Can the Bulls Drive the NIKKEI to New Highs?The market has now reached the crucial 78.6% retracement of the recent decline, sitting right at the top of the resistance zone. This is essentially the last stand for the bearish 1-2 setup in the white scenario to take shape. If the market pushes beyond this point, the yellow extended (b)-wave scenario will likely take the reins. In this case, we could see the market pushing to new highs, as B-waves are notorious for overshooting. So far, there's no clear indication that the upward momentum has faded, meaning this is the moment where the bears must step in to keep the white scenario in play. Meanwhile, under the yellow scenario, it's even possible that wave (c) of (b) is already in motion. Should the market decisively break above the 78.6% retracement, this scenario would become increasingly likely.by MCOGlobal3

Why The Fed Lowered Rates - My Opinion Part IIThis is Part II of Why The Fed Lowered Rates - My Opinion The only reason the Fed lowered rates by 50bp this week is because the global markets are reeling under pressure from a strong US-Dollar and a strong US economy. Without any relief, the new POTUS would enact new policies and push them through Congress, and the US would start another spending spree—pushing the US-dollar-based assets even higher and driving the capital flow into USD-based assets even further. That capital flow is harming foreign economies, and global central banks have been trying to fight the tide of a very strong US dollar for more than two years. If the Fed had not lowered rates, we would likely start to see severe pressure on global central banks and possibly even governments/economies over the next 24-48 months. This is a way for the US Fed, and thus the US economy, from potentially being dragged into a global contagion event after 24+ months of reducing global money flow/function. Simply put, the US Fed gave in to global central bank concerns related to a strong US economy/Dollar compared to their weaker currencies/economies and the pressure being exerted by a decoupling global economy. Even though the lower US rates may provide some relief for the global market, the pressure on global currencies/economies may adapt to this "new normal" and continue to squeeze global central banks.

Nikkei to break to the upside?NIK225 - 24h expiry Buying pressure from 35998 resulted in prices rejecting the dip. The current move higher is expected to continue. This is positive for short term sentiment and we look to set longs at good risk/reward levels for a further correction higher. Further upside is expected, however, due to the strong resistance above we prefer to buy a break of 37068, which will confirm the bullish sentiment. Although the anticipated move higher is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today. We look to Buy a break of 37068 (stop at 36368) Our profit targets will be 38868 and 39168 Resistance: 37610 / 38585 / 39265 Support: 36375 / 34805 / 33980 Risk Disclaimer The trade ideas beyond this page are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to trade.

JPN225 Correction Persists Ahead of the BoJThe Japanese index managed to swiftly rebound from the plunge caused by the central bank’s second rate hike and hawkish messaging at the end of July, as the market rout created some apprehension around the policy shift. Furthermore, the monetary setting remains accommodative and interests rates are still near-zero, while the stock market’s appeal goes beyond monetary policy and weak Yen. JPN225 comes from a strong week, fueled largely by the upbeat messaging from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that spilled over to Japanese chip makers. Advantest and Tokyo Electron, two of Nikkei’s largest constituents, jumped more than 7%. As a result the index tries to regain the EMA200 that would allow it to exit its correction and challenge the August highs (39,204). However, the index is cautious this week, as tech optimism wanes and markets await the BoJ’s decision, preceded by inflation update. Policymakers are unlikely to raise rates again, but communication around the path ahead will be crucial. Official have pointed to further tightening ahead and another hike this year is reasonable, as inflation is well above 2%, wages have increased and Q2 GDP posted strong growth. Furthermore, the monetary policy shift and the Yen’s rebound have led to outflows from foreigners over the past seven months. JPN225 stays in correction and below the EMA200 the risk of bear market persists, although sustained below that threshold has a higher degree of difficulty.

NIKKEI 2nd phase of rally starting.NIKKEI (NI225) couldn't have given us a more reliable bullish continuation signal that our last call (August 14, see chart below), as it hit exactly our 39000 Target and then pulled-back: The rejection took place on the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, similar to the, above 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) rejection on October 13 2023, which is the Megaphone fractal we used last time to come up with the buy signal. So far, the new correction almost reached the 0.5 Fib, so it is good enough for a buy, considering also the fact that the 1D RSI hit again the Symmetrical Pivot Zone, which is where the late October 2023 decline bottomed and started a new rally to the Megaphone's top. As a result, we turn bullish again today, targeting 42450 (the July 11 High). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Navigating volatility in the Nikkei225:Start of a Virtuous CycleBy Danish Lim Zhi Lin, Investment Analyst Current Performance of Nikkei 225 Index: As of 9 September, the Nikkei 225 Index was down by -0.48%, after falling as much as 3% as weak US Payroll added to slowdown fears and dampened risk appetite. The Nikkei 225 Index saw a 5th straight decline, with data showing Japan’s Q2 GDP expanded less than expected at 2.9% QoQ, but still advancing enough to keep the BOJ on track to hike rates later this year. At the same time, China CPI and PPI data fell short of forecasts, adding to global growth headwinds that could weigh on Japanese equities. With the upcoming US elections and Japan’s leadership race, the path ahead for the tech-focused Nikkei 225 Index is likely to see added volatility, even as investors countdown to the Fed’s rate first rate cut in 4 years. “The Time Has Come” “The time has come” was a memorable phrase from Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. After several premature bets on Fed rate cuts earlier in the year, it appears that cuts are finally on their way. We expect discussion to shift towards the pace and reason behind Fed rate cuts. In this backdrop, the Nikkei 225’s performance will largely depend on why rates are moving lower - with equities likely to outperform in a “soft landing”, but underperform in a “hard landing”. With the US economy likely shifting from expansion into deceleration and a potential recession; and with previously-inflated valuations, a negative economic surprise such as last Friday’s payrolls data can trigger an outsized market reaction towards the downside. In other words, “Bad news will be Bad news” moving forward. Green Shoots in Japan However, fundamentals appear unchanged and we are inclined to believe that the recent bout of volatility is tied to weakness in the global economy rather than Japan itself. As mentioned in our previous post , we anticipated the August drawdown to be temporary as we viewed the increase in real wages, the first in 27 months, to be a key catalyst for the realization of a virtuous wage-price cycle that is expected to support consumer spending and boost sentiment. We also expect the BOJ to tread more cautiously regarding monetary policy moving forward, likely resulting in a more stable Yen. At the same time, the government also presented its view that business investment is showing signs of picking up in its August monthly economic report, upgrading its monthly economic assessment for the first time in 15 months on signs of a consumption recovery. Corporate reforms and growing shareholder activism have also led to higher dividends, more share buybacks and stronger balance sheets. Other developments Japan PM Fumio Kishida stepped down from his position and said he will not seek re-election on 14 August, paving the way for the ruling party to vote on his successor on September 27. A leadership vote in the ruling Liberal Democratic party set for Sept 27 will determine Kishida’s successor. Official campaigning for the LDP race starts on Sept 12, with about 10 candidates expected to run. Geopolitical risks remain due to the upcoming US elections and potential chip curbs by foreign countries . Nikkei 225 Outlook & Trading Opportunity: In our view, we believe recent events have not altered the long-term fundamentals of the Japanese market. Nevertheless, volatility is to be expected with the upcoming US elections and global growth concerns lingering in the background; although we believe the overall trajectory for Japanese equities will be positive. Alongside Fed rate cuts, a more moderate Yen could be beneficial for Japanese equities by lowering imported inflation and supporting consumer spending. In combination with wage hikes of around 5% expected in 2H, we expect real household income and private consumption to continue trending upwards, providing support to the Nikkei 225 despite a volatile backdrop. In line with our view, we prefer to take entry on weakness, as we believe it provides an attractive entry point. Near-term volatility could see the Nikkei 225 Index under pressure; but we favour a long position in the long-run with a trailing stop-loss to help limit losses in the event of a sudden market downturn. Expressing Our View: We prefer the trade setup below to express our view: Long Nikkei 225 Index Futures Based on a Fibonacci Extension drawn from the October 2023 to the July 2024 high, the daily chart shows the index experiencing a brief rebound from the 5 August low of 31,156; but has since broken below the 0.382% extension level at around 37,000 – 37,100. We take this level as immediate resistance. We expect to near-term volatility to bring the Nikkei 225 Index further down towards the 0.500% extension level around 35,697 – 35,700. We set this level as our entry point with a 5% trailing stop-loss, bringing our stop loss level to around 33,915. Our target level will be the 0.786% extension level around 40,499 – 40,500. Several technical indicators support our view for near-term volatility: - The MACD line is shown to have crossed below the signal line in a bearish crossover. - Prices are below the 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages. Alternatively, traders can consider a short position to take advantage of near-term volatility. But the risk-reward for a long position looks more promising, in our opinion. We also favour an 5% trailing stop loss to pair with our long position, allowing us to lock in profits if the price moves favourably. • Entry Level: 35,700 • Target Level: 40,500 • Stop Loss Level: 33,915 (trailing stop preferred) • Profit at Target: 4800 x ¥500= ¥2,400,000 • Loss at Stop: 1785 x ¥500= ¥892,500 • Reward: Risk Ratio: 2.69x Trade Nikkei 225 with Phillip Nova now Longby phillip_nova5
