JAPAN225 5th MARCH 2023The JAPAN225 (Nikkei index) is close to a significant resistance area, the possibility of a reversal or a change in the direction of the uptrend to a downtrend will increase. This is because a resistance area is a price level that has been tested before and successfully prevented the price from rising, so there is a possibility that this level will once again act as a strong resistance level and prevent the price from continuing to rise. In addition, market conditions and investor sentiment can also affect the possibility of a reversal. If there are concerns or uncertainties in the market, investors tend to take a cautious approach and take profits from previous price increases, which can trigger significant selling pressure and selling off. This can trigger a reversal and result in a downward trend in the Nikkei index. Reversals do not always occur every time the price approaches a resistance area. If there is strong momentum and strong fundamental support, the Nikkei index can continue the uptrend and break through the resistance level. Therefore, it is important for traders and investors to conduct careful technical and fundamental analysis to identify potential reversals and consider the risks and opportunities associated with trading in the Nikkei index.

The Nikkei considers a bounce ahead of the FOMC meetingThe Nikkei 225 has fallen sharpy towards (yet held above) the September low. A small bullish hammer formed on Thursday to show a loss of bearish momentum, alongside a false break of trend support. A bullish engulfing candle formed on Friday and closed above the 100 and 200-day EMA's. Its low also respected a 50% retracement level and closed back above trend support for a second consecutive day. We therefore suspect a bounce is on the cards, although as markets are wary of the upcoming FOMC meeting we are also aware that any such bounce may limited, so traders would be wise to keep a close eye on price action and not expect oversized moves, unless a new catalyst arrives. Low volatility retracements within Friday's candle could help to improve the potential reward to risk ratio for bulls. A potential bullish outcome for equities in general is if the Fed surprise with a less-hawkish-than expected hike. We know 75bp is mostly priced in, so if they hint at a slower rate of hikes going forward, equities might be able to cobble together a relief rally. Whilst a hawkish hike would likely present indices with swing highs and another leg lower.

Death cross is here.After a major bull run, we can see a death cross forming. What is a death cross? The death cross is a chart pattern that indicates the transition from a bull market to a bear market. This technical indicator occurs when a security’s short-term moving average (e.g., 50-day) crosses from above to below a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day). The indicator gets its name from the alleged strength of the pattern as a bearish indication. In short, traders who believe in the pattern’s reliability say that a security is “dead” once this bearish moving average crossover occurs. Three Phases of Forming the Death Cross: There are three primary phases in the formation of the cross of death pattern. The first phase involves the existing uptrend of a security, when it begins to reach its peak as buying momentum tapers off. Then the price begins to fall as sellers gain the upper hand in the market. The second phase is the decline in the security’s price to a point where the actual death cross occurs, with the 50-day moving average falling below the 200-day moving average. This downside shift of the 50-day average signals a new, bearish long-term trend in the market. The final phase occurs with the continuation of the downward movement in the market. The new downtrend needs to be sustained in order for a genuine death cross to be deemed to have occurred. If the period of downward momentum is merely short-lived, and the stock turns back to the upside, then the cross of death is considered a false signal.
