What happened yesterday
The Japan 225 (proxy for the Nikkei 225) has broken below the 20470 daily pivotal support and our bullish expectation for a push up scenario has been invalidated.
Please click on this link for a recap on our previous daily outlook.
Key elements
- The Index continues to evolve within a sideways range configuration since 23 June 2015 with upper (resistance) and lower (support) boundaries at 20850/20960 and 20080/20050 respectively.
- The hourly Stochastic oscillator is coming close to its extreme oversold region which highlights the risk of a short-term rebound in price action of the Index.
Key levels
Intermediate resistance: 20380
Pivot (key resistance): 20470
Support: 20080/20050
Next resistance: 20680 & 20850/20960
Conclusion
Short-term technical elements suggest a potential short-term rebound towards the intermediate resistance at 20380 before another round of slide to test the lower boundary of the 3-month sideways range configuration at 20080/20050.
On the other hand, a clearance above the 20470 daily pivotal resistance is likely to negate the bearish tone for a further push up towards 20680 in first step.
