Nikkei 225 (1 hour)-daily forecast 21 Jan 2015

 

Key elements

  • The Index is coming close to the top of the short-term ascending channel at 17600/17700 which is also a Fibonacci cluster.
  • The lower boundary of the short-term ascending channel now stands at 17200
  • The Stochastic oscillator has reached its “extreme” overbought level.

Key levels

Pivot (key resistance): 17600/17700

Support: 17200 & 16900

Next resistance: 17950

Conclusion

As long as the 17600/17700 daily pivotal resistance is not surpassed, the Japan 225 Index (proxy for the Nikkei 225) is likely to shaped a short-term decline towards 17200 with a  possible maximum limit set at 16900

On the other hand, a break above 17600/17700 is likely to see the continuation of the bullish trend to target 17950 next.
