NIKKEI 225 - Potential Bearish OpportunityThe Nikkei 225 index has demonstrated a sustained bullish trend over an extended period. However, recent developments indicate a notable divergence and the emergence of a bearish Gartley pattern, suggesting a potential shift towards a downward trajectory. Market analysis indicates that bears could exert control following the completion of the pattern at the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ). This observation underscores the importance of monitoring key technical indicators and price action closely to assess the index's future direction accurately.

The Nikkei Index Has Risen to a 2-Month HighThe Nikkei Index Has Risen to a 2-Month High As we wrote on June 17th, analyzing the Nikkei 225 chart (Japan 225 on FXOpen): → the price formed a consolidation pattern (in the shape of a narrowing triangle); → the price formed a bullish reversal from the 38,000 points level (indicated by an arrow), suggesting potential growth and trend establishment upon pattern breakout. Since then, the price has broken out of the consolidation triangle and today exceeded the 39,800 level - marking the highest point since mid-April. Technical analysis of the Nikkei 225 chart (Japan 225 on FXOpen) provides more information: → the price is in a significant uptrend (shown by the blue channel); → after breaking out of the consolidation triangle, the price reached the median line of the channel - implying that the bullish momentum may weaken here, but not necessarily come to an end completely. It is possible that the Nikkei 225 index (Japan 225 on FXOpen) will continue to rise steadily along the median line, but fundamental factors should be considered as key drivers: Firstly, the ultra-loose policy of the Bank of Japan, which is beneficial for the growth of Japan's export-oriented enterprises. However, the central bank's policy is increasingly criticized, especially with the USD/JPY exchange rate nearing the 'red line' of 160 yen per dollar. Secondly, the influence of the US stock market. In this regard, it should be noted that: → the current rise in the Nikkei 225 index (Japan 225 on FXOpen) is linked to the strong recovery of NVDA shares after three days of decline; → upcoming news on US inflation. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index values will be published on Friday at 15:30 GMT+3 and could cause significant volatility in financial markets, potentially affecting the price of the Nikkei 225 index (Japan 225 on FXOpen). A significant resistance level is seen at the psychological level of 40,000. After the price surpassed it in March (but failed to hold above it on two attempts), it retraced by more than 9% with the formation of the aforementioned consolidation triangle.

Nikkei Remains in Consolidation after Mixed Inflation DataJPN225 has backed off its March record peak, as the central bank made a historic exit from negative rates, shifting away from the ultra-loose stance that has devalued the Yen and has boosted equities. The BoJ is set to go further down that road and start scaling back its bond buying, while at least one more rate cut this year looks reasonable as officials expect underlying inflation to increase gradually. These prospects could weigh further on the index and sent it back towards this year’s low (36,732), but the downside appear unfriendly with the 200Days EMA following (blue line). Despite the pullback, JPN225 shows resiliency, as the Bank of Japan maintains an accommodative stance and the lack of clarity around its intentions to reduce the asset purchases cast doubts over the policy normalization process. Today’s mixed inflation data added to the uncertainty, as core CPI rose but less than expected and core-core dropped for ninth straight month. Furthermore, the stock market’s strength goes beyond easy monetary policy. Structural reforms, strong corporate earnings and market friendly government trying to direct saving into investments provide long-term tailwinds. As such, JPNN225 can resume its advance and push for new all-time highs (41,227). The recent consolidation is likely to persist though, amidst competing drivers.

JP225 swing tradeI entered a short position on the Nikkei225 index. These are the key economic factors and how they impact this trade idea, be it positively or negatively I will give each factor a rating, if the rating is 0, then this factor does not help our position, if it is 1 and above it supports our trade. Economy 1. Inflation(CPI) We have seen a cooldown in inflation to 2.5% which is decent inflation that supports stocks, therefore it supports indexes. For this trade, it is a negative factor, because we want to short the Nikkei. So this factor gets a 0/1 2. Interest rates The latest hike in interest rates is a negative factor for the Nikkei, this year the BOJ is expected to hike rates more, therefore not helping the index. I'm giving this a rating of 1/1 3. GDP The past 6 GDP filings have been bad for Japan(except for the one in March we got 0.1%) so it is good for our trade idea, I'm giving it a 1/1 4. PMI Both the Services and Manufacturing PMIs show an expansion in Japan's economy, therefore being bad for my position. I'm giving this a 0/2(there are 2 possible points because I count Manufacturing and Services as two separate factors). 5. Retail sales have shown us a decrease starting from April 2023 when we were at 7.20%. Now we are at 2.4% with the latest release beating the forecast significantly, therefore it gets a 1/2 6. Unemployment recently has shown an increase, starting from Jan. 2024 when we were at 2.4%, to now at 2.6%. Overall we have a steady, range-bound unemployment, in the range of: 2.5%<->2.7%. I'm giving this a 1/2 rating because unemployment has increased, but not drastically. Sentiment 1. Seasonality. Over 10 years the expected result of this month is -1.4% and next month is expected to be -0.8%. The five-year average suggests an even bigger downward momentum. It is expected by both the 5-year and 10-year averages to see a downward move for the rest of the year with a few slightly positive months. Therefore I'm giving this a 2/2 2. Retail positioning shows us that 64% of people are positioned long, we need to take this as an opposite signal because statistically, the masses of people are wrong. Therefore it gets a 1/1 3. COT the latest filing shows us that there was a -7.81% net change in positions, which indicates that large institutions may be starting to sell, the actual long/short contracts show us that only 30.7% of institutions are short, but this is a metric that needs time to change. Also, we see a level at which short positions start to increase and long positions decrease. Therefore I'm giving this a 3/4 Technical I entered based on an "active zone" I took the entry as shown on the chart, if the index falls rapidly I will add another position, but we have to wait for that. The entry is good so it gets a 1/1 Summary Trade expected RR: 3 Total points 11/17 64% analytical expectancy. This is good as most of my positions are often 50% to 60%

Nikkei Index Falls Below 38,000 Points This Month for First TimeNikkei Index Falls Below 38,000 Points This Month for First Time According to today's Nikkei 225 (Japan 225 on FXOpen) chart, the index quote dropped below 38,000 points at Monday's low, followed by a recovery (shown by an arrow). One of the drivers of the decline was the automotive sector, whose shares led during the downturn. In particular, according to Reuters, Toyota Motors' shares fell by more than 2% as the company faces difficulties due to a certification scandal. Japanese national broadcaster NHK reported that Toyota will extend the production halt for some models until the end of July. The fact that the Nikkei 225 (Japan 225 on FXOpen) price is recovering after dropping below the 38,000 mark suggests a false bearish breakout below this psychological level. Technical analysis of the Nikkei 225 (Japan 225 on FXOpen) chart provides more insight into market dynamics: → Since the beginning of 2024, there has been a sharp rise from point A to point B by more than 20%; → This was followed by a retracement to point C, which constituted a Fibonacci 0.500 proportion of the A→B impulse; → Then there was a rise from C to D, forming a Fibonacci 0.382 proportion of the B→C impulse. Thus, in the first half of the year, there has been a series of diminishing oscillations forming a triangle pattern, indicating a balance between demand and supply around the 38,380 axis. Today's potential bullish reversal (which is not yet fully formed) could confirm the relevance of the triangle's lower boundary and direct the price towards its axis. It is worth noting that the triangle boundaries are narrowing, and a possible imminent breakout of this graphical pattern, formed in the first half of 2024, could lead to the establishment of a noticeable trend.

NIKKEI Rather long way until it bottoms but then +60% upside!NIKKEI (NI225) offers a very consistent long-term pattern when you look at it on the 1W time-frame. As you can see periodically, every roughly 3 years it peaks and then starts to correct through a Channel Down pattern towards the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). It was only fairly recently (in relative 1W terms) that the index sought and found support on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) in October 2023, which started the rally leading to the March 2024 peak. If it follows the corrective Channel Down pattern that has been in effect for the past 9 years (since June 2015), then we may be a long way until we find a bottom. The process doesn't need to be an aggressive one, in fact the last Channel Down that started in February 2021 bottomed in a long but very steady manner in March 2022 and even had a long bottoming process that lasted until January 2023 before the recent massive rally was initiated. The 1W RSI patterns among those fractals are similar, so far in fact it is similar to the mid 2023 one that, as we mentioned above, 'only' corrected to the 1W MA50. As a result, we are expecting the current pull-back to extend at least as low as (near) the 1W MA50. If it breaks, we will only buy after it makes contact with the 1W MA200. The Target process has also been very consistent throughout those 9 years, with each rise from the bottom being roughly over +60%. As a result, from the level the index bottoms, our Target will be at +60%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Bullish momentum drags Japan downIndices outside Europe traded higher yesterday and the right-wing-weighted European elections pushed Macron in France to call for early national elections. Meanwhile, the euro fell to a record low and European equities suffered from the result. In contrast, the rest of the international indices started their sessions in positive territory, although not all of them ended in the same way. In the case of the US market, the Dow Jones rose +0.18%, the S&P500 +0.26% and the Nasdaq +0.35%. NIKKEI 225(Ticker AT: JP225) closed down on Monday at 39,096 points, today, with the European political inertia, the market opened at 39,168.50 closing at 39,128.50 points. The index has grown by 21.42% this year. This week, the US monetary policy news added to the Bank of Japan (BoJ) report may strongly affect the index in two days. The weakness of the Japanese yen against the dollar may mark the Japanese basket higher and the governor may try to restrain the currency again. The general sentiment on the index is Strong Buy for investors. Looking at the chart, the RSI is currently at 57.01% in the middle zone. The price bell that has been forming on the daily chart on the NIKKEI 225 is a triple bell with the upper bell at a high trading level, with the control point (POC) at 38,653 points. If we look at the inertial movement of the chart, there has been a bounce in the correction at 36,650 points zone and currently the price is trying to look for a return to the most traded zone at 39,942 points. If this first price resistance is overcome and the index delivers strong corporate results, we will begin to see the one-day timeframe for the highs target to be reached. At the moment the index, like many other indices is at all-time highs. So it remains to be seen how long this euphoric time lasts in a market with really high inflation.

Correlation between indices is likely. (bullish idea)Dear analysts and traders, I trust this message finds you in good health and high spirits as you prepare to approach the upcoming week with renewed vigor. I extend my best wishes for continued success in all your business pursuits. It is essential to emphasize that sustained success in business hinges significantly on the consistent establishment and adherence to your principles. As an advocate of the Elliott Wave principle, I regard this methodology as a valuable instrument for market analysis. Over the past three years, I have honed my approach by amalgamating this principle with a meticulous evaluation of diverse market scenarios. I strive to mitigate market uncertainties by upholding a broad spectrum of market perspectives, enabling me to discern market structures with utmost precision. I am pleased to share my analysis with you, with the disclaimer that I do not offer buy or sell recommendations. My perspective on analytical ideas remains entirely impartial, and if my analysis aligns with your standards, it can serve as a compass for informed decision-making. I have enclosed my prior analysis of the same market for your perusal and comparison. All aspects of my analysis are clearly delineated for clarity. Nevertheless, familiarity with the Elliott Wave principle theory facilitates comprehension of the analytical concept. I apologize for the repetitive nature of the text, as my week is occupied with formulating analytical and educational ideas, as well as engaging in trading activities and managing my social networks. Due to time constraints, I am unable to provide textual explanations for every idea, hence the inclusion of a separate text alongside the labeling. Should the text be unclear, I am available to elucidate the key points. My rigorous study of the Elliott Wave Principle spanned nearly three years, during which my grasp and utilization of this invaluable tool evolved. My progress thus far stands as a tribute to the legacy of Ralph Nelson Elliott, whose brilliance underpins my accomplishments. May he rest in peace. I am grateful for your unwavering support and benevolence, and I eagerly anticipate your feedback and constructive criticism. May my analysis serve as a valuable asset in your business endeavors, and I remain yours sincerely, Mr. Nobody Bearish market scenario: corrective pattern with a bigger wave (double zigzag and triple zigzag)

NIKKEI Is it worth buying here?Nikkei (NI225) is about to test the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time as a Resistance, following the bearish break-out on April 15, which was its first breach since November 02 2023. This is a very consistent behavioral pattern with both of the previous two corrections of the 2-year Channel Up pattern. As you can see, reclaiming the 1D MA50 wasn't enough for either correction to make the index resume the uptrend, even closing above the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level didn't guarantee it. What did form the index' bottom however, was the 1D RSI touching the 30.00 oversold limit (green circle). At the moment the index is rebounding off such an RSI test. This means that this time we may see the recovery much earlier, so once we close a 1D candle above the 1D MA50, we will turn bullish again, targeting 46000 (Channel's top and below the minimum +31.73% of Bullish Legs patterns). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
