JPN225 Short• Head and Shoulders on H4 A clear head and shoulders structure is forming on the H4 timeframe, which is often a strong sign of exhaustion and a possible reversal after an extended move higher. • Head and Shoulders Confluence on H1 This same bearish structure is also showing on H1, which adds further confirmation to the idea that the price may be losing strength and preparing for a downside move. • Overbought Conditions on H1, M30, and M15 Momentum is stretched across the lower timeframes, with H1, M30, and M15 all showing overbought conditions. When several timeframes are extended at the same time, the chance of a pullback or reversal increases. • Deep Crab Pattern on M30 There is also a Deep Crab harmonic pattern on M30. As a Type 2 pattern, this points to a potential reversal zone and adds another layer of confluence around the current price area. • Trend Momentum Is Flattening Although this trade is against the broader trend, the H1 trend has caught up and flattened out, showing that bullish momentum is no longer as strong as before. The H4 trend is also beginning to lose strength, which suggests the market may be shifting from trend continuation into distribution or reversal. • Failure to Break Higher Price is struggling to break and hold above this level. Repeated failure to continue higher often shows that buyers are losing control, especially when this happens near a major psychological level. • Major Resistance Near 60000 This setup is happening just below the 60000 area, which is a major psychological level and effectively the all-time high zone. Markets often react strongly around these levels, and if the price cannot break through decisively, rejection becomes more likely. • Exhaustion at a Premium Price Area After such a strong move upward, the price is now trading in a premium area where chasing longs becomes less attractive. In these conditions, reversal setups tend to carry more weight when combined with structure and momentum weakness. • Volatility-Driven Opportunity This may initially develop as a short-term trade because of the increased volatility in the market following recent ceasefire-related news. However, if the price starts breaking lower with momentum, this could develop into a much larger reversal instead of only a short-term pullback.

Nikkei 225: Double Zigzag from 3/30 (y)c Expanding Diagonal (5）Nikkei 225 Double Zigzag (w)-(x)-(y) in progress from the 3/30 low! (y)c is an expanding diagonal currently in Wave (5) We are now inside (y)c expanding diagonal Wave (5). Today’s intraday dip was Wave (4), which touched the Wave (1) low. Because this is an expanding diagonal, it needed to tag the end of Wave (3). Tonight’s rally has cleanly done exactly that, completing the structure. Once this Double Zigzag (w)-(x)-(y) finishes, the next key question is: 1. Will it turn into a simple corrective decline? 2. Or will it develop into a Triple Zigzag decline? This is the major focus point going forward. (1H chart – real-time update) #Nikkei225 #ElliottWave #DoubleZigzag #WaveAnalysis

NIKKEI 225 LONG SPREADEX:NIKKEI Decades of deflation during Japans's lost years were challenged deeply by a series of external economic shocks to the Japanese economy. As best as monetary and fiscal policy can try to control the every day lives of a population, what a central bank or a government cannot do is to wrap themselves in cotton wool when we live in uncertain times. Covid. The Ukraine war. The trip tariffs and now the Iranian conflict has put Japan in a dilemma whereby inflation is creeping back into the economy and as a result, domestic businesses and investors are becoming increasingly incentivised to exit their carry trade positions overseas and invest into domestic equities. As bond yields rise to decade long highs, the yen is devalued even further and thus if you take intro perspective the costs that larger Japanese investors absorb with the higher bond yields and the fx hedge costs, a Japanese investor today is clearly looking to sell their holdings overseas and invest into the Nikkei. With a new political regime that has announced a generational fiscal stimulus package in order to support gdp and tackle Japans debt to income ratio, money shall surely move into the Japanese equity market. The carry trade may be over. However, the fx carry trade is not. All of this comes at a price and the road that the current prime minister has taken is one that sacrifices its currency in order to control inflation and support economic growth. Yen devaluation shall continue for now.

Nikkei 225 Holding Key Support – Setup for 59K Break:Current Price: 58475.9 Direction: LONG Confidence level: 61%(Technical structure shows price holding above 20, 50, and 200 day averages with bullish momentum indicators and strong support at 58200. Lack of direct trader snippets lowers confidence slightly.) Targets Target 1: 59200 Target 2: 60500 Stop Levels Stop 1: 58200 Stop 2: 57800 Wisdom of Professional Traders: This analysis synthesizes insights from thousands of professional traders and market experts, combining what traders are saying with real‑time macro developments to identify good setups. When several professional traders focus on the same support zones and momentum indicators, it often highlights where institutions are positioning in the Nikkei 225. Key Insights: Here’s what’s driving this setup. The Nikkei 225 is still trading above its 20‑day, 50‑day, and 200‑day moving averages. That’s an important signal because it means the broader trend remains upward even after the recent pullback. Traders usually treat pullbacks into the 20‑day average as buy‑the‑dip opportunities when the larger trend stays intact. Another thing worth watching is the 58,200 zone. Several technical analyses highlight this level as a major support area tied to both previous lows and the 20‑day SMA. As long as the index stays above that area, momentum traders will likely keep targeting the psychological 59,000 region and potentially higher. Momentum indicators also lean bullish. RSI around the low‑60s suggests strength without extreme overheating, while MACD still shows positive momentum. When these indicators align with a rising channel pattern, traders often look for continuation rather than breakdown. Recent Performance: The Nikkei 225 recently traded around 58,475 after pulling back roughly 1.7% from the session high near 59,300. Despite that drop, the index remains close to record territory and comfortably above long‑term trend levels. Over the last several weeks the index has been climbing within an ascending channel between roughly 57,800 and 59,200, which supports the idea of another attempt at resistance. Expert Analysis: Several professional traders are focusing on the same technical structure: an ascending channel with resistance around 59,000–59,500. When I look at this setup, the key takeaway is that the market hasn't broken trend support despite volatility from global macro headlines. Multiple traders also pointed out that a clean break above the 59,000 zone could trigger momentum buying. That’s because psychological round numbers tend to attract algorithmic flows and breakout traders. If that level breaks, the next magnet quickly becomes the 60,000 area, which is why the second target is set slightly above that zone. At the same time, traders are watching the 58,200 level carefully. If the index drops below it, short‑term momentum could flip quickly, which is why the stop structure sits just under that support band. News Impact: Geopolitical headlines and oil prices remain the biggest external drivers. Markets have been reacting to developments in US‑Iran negotiations and Middle East tensions. When risk sentiment improves, Japanese equities tend to rally quickly, especially export‑heavy components. On the other hand, spikes in oil prices can pressure the index because higher energy costs weigh on Japanese corporate margins. Corporate earnings from large Japanese technology and retail companies are also providing underlying support, which helps explain why dips are getting bought quickly. Trading Recommendation: Putting it all together, this looks like a buy‑the‑dip setup while the index holds above 58,200. I’m taking a LONG position targeting 59,200 first and 60,500 if momentum kicks in this week. The trade thesis breaks if price loses the 58,200 support, so stops sit below that level to protect downside. If the index pushes through 59,000 with strong volume, momentum traders could accelerate the move toward 60K quickly. That’s the scenario I’m positioning for this week.

Nikkei 225 1H: Ending Diagonal in Wave 4 (Short Setup)Nikkei 225 1-Hour Chart Current structure: The final leg of the larger Wave 2 decline (Double Three w-x-y flat correction), where an Ending Diagonal is forming in Wave 4. With the US-Iran ceasefire talks stalling, I expect next week’s decline to remain inside Wave 4. After that, a Wave 5 rally should complete the diagonal. For the diagonal to be valid, a touch of 54,180 is required. Short target: 54,180–53,800 zone. Once the diagonal completes, expect a retest of the 54,248 high, followed by the start of the major Wave (iii) decline. Significant volatility is likely next week — fast reactions will be key. 【Target】 54,180–53,800 area (Short) 【Invalidation】 ① Strong break above 58,024 → Count change (bullish continuation) ② Strong break below 52,132 → Count change (accelerated decline) #Nikkei225 #ElliottWave

Nikkei225 Count Update: Expanding Triangle in FocusNikkei225 Count Update No change to the double three count from the 3/9 low. However, while I had been viewing the move from the 3/23 low as a flat formation, the possibility of a triangle has increased again. (This would be an expanding triangle.) Currently, the triangle (C) wave is in progress, followed by a (D) wave decline targeting 50,400–50,300. I expect large up-and-down swings to continue for a while. If price breaks below 53,735 and 53,590, I will resume short positions. Until then, I remain on the sidelines with no position. #Nikkei225 #JAPAN225CFD #ElliottWave

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? 🚀📈

NIKKEI can go as low as 40k seeking the 1W MA200Nikkei (NI225) has been trading within a 6-year Channel Up since the March 2020 COVID crash. The price hit the pattern's top last month and the last 30 days have been a strong correction. Even though the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) hasn't been broken yet, this is technically the start of the pattern's new Bearish Leg. All previous Bear Cycles reached at least the 0.236 Channel Fibonacci level before rebounding as well as testing the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). This gives us a 43000 - 40000 Target Zone before the index turns into a long-term buy opportunity again. --- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Nikkei: Heavy tape, 51000 under threat51000 is the line in the sand for Nikkei bulls. Defend it, or risk enticing more participants into the unwind already seen. We’ve seen multiple bearish break attempts in March, all of which have failed. But the telling thing is the string of lower highs from bounces, sequentially failing around the 50DMA and, more recently, ahead of 54000. The index looks heavy. RSI (14) is yet to set lower lows but remains below 50, indicating downside pressure remains in the ascendancy, a signal backed up by MACD which is motoring lower in negative territory. Risks are therefore tilted to the downside, but they are unlikely to be acted upon until we see a definitive break, ideally accompanied by a close. Otherwise, it risks being just another failed break, potentially paving the way for a retest of sellers parked above 54000. A sustained break of 51000 would allow for a stop to be placed above the level for protection, targeting the intersection of 48500 support and the 200DMA. From a fundamental perspective, the longer the Iran war disrupts energy supply and keeps prices elevated, the greater the downside risk to Japanese corporate earnings, especially industrial names who derive a substantial share of revenues from offshore. Good luck! DS

Nikkei continues to show weakness around the 51k levelThe Japanese index has started to show weakness over the last three trading sessions, posting a decline of more than 5% in the short term and reflecting a relevant bearish bias in the chart. For now, selling pressure appears to have re-established itself, partly due to the increase in risk sentiment across markets, which has reduced appetite for risk assets such as the Nikkei. Additionally, a neutral stance from the Bank of Japan limits expectations for rate cuts, strengthening the bond market and reducing the attractiveness of Japanese equities. If these factors persist, a more consistent selling pressure could continue to dominate in the short term. Bearish move becomes more relevant: Over recent sessions, Nikkei price action has started to break below the long-term upward trendline that had been in place for several months. If the bearish bias continues to consolidate, this could lead to the formation of a new short-term downtrend, potentially dominating price action in the coming sessions. However, it is important to note that the price still faces a key resistance area, which could trigger short-term corrective moves. RSI: The RSI remains below the 50 level, suggesting that selling momentum continues to dominate over the past 14 sessions. If this behavior persists, it could reinforce a consistent bearish pressure in the short term. MACD: A similar scenario is observed in the MACD, with the histogram remaining below the zero line, indicating that short-term moving average momentum is still in bearish territory. This supports the view that selling pressure could remain dominant. Key levels to watch: 54,695 – Key resistance level, aligned with the 50-period simple moving average. Moves toward this area could lead to a sideways scenario if no clear direction emerges. 51,030 – Near-term support, aligned with recent lows. A break below this level could reinforce a dominant bearish bias in the short term. 48,433 – Key support, aligned with the 200-period moving average. A sustained break below this level could trigger a more structured downtrend in the coming weeks. Written by Julian Pineda, CFA, CMT – Market Analyst

JP225 Bullish Reversal at DemandMarket Outlook: Despite the recent 4H bearishness, the Weekly and Daily charts remain firmly bullish. I am looking for a continuation of the primary trend as price tests a key structural demand zone. The Strategy: HTF Alignment: Using the Weekly/Daily bullish bias to filter for high-probability longs. POI Identification: Price has retraced into a proven support area around the 51k handle. Execution Trigger: A massive 4H Bullish Engulfing candle has formed, signaling that the "smart money" is likely defending this level. Risk Management: Maintaining a healthy risk-to-reward ratio by targeting the previous structural highs. The stop loss is tucked safely below the recent liquidity sweep to ensure we only stay in the trade if the bullish thesis remains valid. Patience is key—let the higher timeframe bias do the heavy lifting.
