Japan Nikkei 225 Experiencing Further Downward Bias


Nikkei 225 Index is expected to re-test its distribution range low at 20,400 level. The level is also a previous support level.

 Supporting Claim for Downward Bias: 
- Index Broke below its Uptrend Line (stride) 
- Uptrend line has turned into resistance for index ( Bearish ) 
- Experienced 2x Upthrust (Failure to maintain new high). This potentially means that smart money is distributing at premium levels as "Breakout" traders buy in strength.

 20,400 Level Objective based on: 
- Previous support established in Mar 2018 
- Fibo 1.618% projection 

 If Nikkei 225 Breaks Below 20,400 Level: 
- Distribution Phase is deemed established and index will enter into MARK DOWN phase 
- Next objective will be 19,000 level.

Week Ahead: US Indices Momemtum in Question

    Week Ahead: 10 March 2025 Key event this week was  U.S. indices technically closed below the key 30-week (or 150-day) moving average . For the upward trend to continue, the indices need to reclaim levels above the moving averages. Remaining below the 30-week (or 150-day) moving average could indicate that the upward trend has reversed downward. However, in the short term, we expect a rebound as the indices trade near their respective support levels. Medium Term: S&P 500 (SPX):  The S&P 500 broke below its key upward trendline, which had been established since October 2023. In the longer term, we expect the index to trade sideways or move in a downward direction. In the short term, we anticipate the S&P 500 will find support at the 5,700 level and could rebound to test the 5,860 and then the 5,966 resistance zones. Straits Times Index (STI):  The technical trend remains bullish. We maintain a constructive outlook while staying vigilant for any sig...
