The Japan 225 Index (proxy for the Nikkei 225 futures) had tumbled in yesterday’s U.S. session and broke below the 12700/600 medium-term pivotal support. In addition, the USD/JPY had also broken below the parallel 112.00 medium-term pivotal support. Our earlier bullish view for a last push up towards the 20200 risk level had been invalidated reinforced by the on-going political uncertainties in U.S. that could derail U.S. President Trump’s fiscal policies on tax cuts and infrastructure spending. Please click here for a recap.
Yesterday’s break of those aforementioned key pivotal support levels have open up scope for a deeper decline to retrace the multi-month rally of the Nikkei 225 that is in play since 19 June 2016 low.
Intermediate resistance: 19700/770
Pivot (key resistance): 20000
Supports: 19420 & 19200/120
Next resistance: 20950 (0.618 Fibonacci projection from 24 June 2016 low)
Potential multi-week corrective decline in progress but the Index may see a minor rebound first towards 19700/700 intermediate resistance above 19420 before a new downleg materialises to target the next support at 19200/120.
On the other hand, a clearance above the 20000 medium-term pivotal resistance opens up scope to resume the primary degree up move towards the next resistance at 20950.
