Nikkei Futures ( NKD1!), H4 Potential for Bearish continuationTitle: Nikkei Futures ( NKD1!), H4 Potential for Bearish continuation
Type: Bearish continuation
Resistance: 26555
Pivot: 25960
Support: 25610
Preferred case: Looking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for NKD1! is bearish due to the current price being below the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bearish market. If this bearish momentum continues, expect price to continue heading towards the support at 25610, where the previous swing low is.
Alternative scenario: Price may head back up to retest the pivot at 25960, where the 61.8% Fibonacci line is.
Fundamentals: There are no major news.
Japan 225
The BoJ meeting playbook - navigating big moves in the JPYIt’s been many years since Bank of Japan (BoJ) meetings posed significant risks for traders, but this Wednesday’s BoJ meeting holds the potential for significant volatility in USDJPY, as well as the JPY crosses, and JPN225.
The risk manager
The job of the trader is to manage risk, as well as achieving correct position sizing for every trade.
So, when I look at the explosion in USDJPY 1-week (options) implied volatility – essentially the markets' expectation of movement in USDJPY through the week – we see this at 23%, and the highest levels since March 2020. For context, this equates to expectations of around 350 pips, or a near 3% move this week in USDJPY (higher or lower). Much of this move could be realised on the day from headlines from the BoJ meeting and what the market hears relative to positioning and expectations.
When we see such high expectations of movement, the question traders need to ask is whether they should reduce or even exit exposures before the event. In some cases when there is a strong skew in the potential outcomes and a high enough conviction, whether to even take a position over the event – in special situations these events can offer high/risk reward outcomes.
We assess that here.
Key times to be aware of – Headlines and the outcome from the meeting will come out on Wednesday, likely in the Asia session afternoon. Unlike most data points there is no set time, but we should hear the outcome between 13:00 and 15:00 AEDT.
What is expected from the BoJ?
Last week we saw an article in the Japanese publication Yomiuri Shimbun that the BoJ was reviewing the negative effects of its current monetary policy regime – despite only changing its policy setting on 20 December, where they lifted the ceiling (or cap) by which the 10yr JGB yield (Japanese govt bond) can trade to 0.50%, the market swiftly took this to mean another key change was incoming.
The fact the BoJ had to ramp up its daily bond buying to a record amount to defend the 0.50% cap, suggests their policy setting is still highly dysfunctional, and with inflation pushing 4% its current yield curve control (YCC) program is on borrowed time.
While we can look at the possible outcomes, and assign a probability and potential market reaction, I think in all cases the BoJ will try its utmost to say the action is designed to address an increasingly dysfunctional market and should not be seen as a tightening of policy. The market will likely look through this and ignore their pleas.
Given 10yr JGBs currently trade above 0.5% (or 50bp), 10yr swap rates trade above 90bp and the JPY has had a one-way move of late, one assumes the market is skewed and part positioned to an outcome that the BoJ abolish its YCC program. This plays into my back-of-the-envelope playbook.
Possible actions:
• The BoJ again widens the yield band to -/+0.75% while continuing to buy incredible amounts of JGBs in its daily operations to support the 0.75% yield cap - an action that doesn’t make a huge amount of sense as it would not resolve the dysfunctional market and would need to be altered again – likely promotes a 2%+ rally on the day in USDJPY
• The BoJ widens the yield band out to -/+1% while continuing to buy JGBs to support the cap – tactically this makes more sense, but an action that could cause a 1%+ rally in USDJPY
• The BoJ leave policy unchanged but signals a change is coming – this would surprise and cause a 2.5%+ rally on the day in USDJPY
• Completely terminates its YCC program – the market is leaning this way but would still likely cause a 3%+ sell-off on the day in USDJPY
• Shifts the YCC target which is currently capping 10yr JGBs at 0.50% and move to target the 5yr JGB instead – it's hard to create a clear framework on this policy change, but an action that likely leads to the most subdued reaction seen in USDJPY
For those new to BoJ policy and bond markets this event risk does require some research. As always, moves in markets come from current market positioning, expectations, and the actual outcome.
For me, simplistically, given expectations are now elevated for an end to YCC and its yield cap – hence, a lack of action would be a big surprise and cause a significant move higher in USDJPY. If the BoJ decides to remove its YCC cap, then despite positioning I think there is further to go, and it could have huge implications for the JPY and see USDJPY smashed as traders front-run the idea of massive capital repatriation from Japanese pension funds eyeing more compelling returns in their domestic bond markets.
The BoJ meeting holds the potential for bug moves not just in the JPY and JPN225 but could influence the USD across other G10 pairs too – be aware of the event and manage the risks accordingly.
JAPAN225 12th JANUARY 2023The trendline is the most common part of technical analysis in forex trading. But when compared to support and resistance, trendlines are less commonly used. The trendline should be more significant due to the number of touches.
Trendlines are very suitable in combination with several technical indicators, one of which is the Money Flow Index (MFI).
MFI is an indicator used to measure money inflows and outflows, both from local and foreign investors in the stock. Since MFI measures money inflows and outflows, it also involves volume in its indicator.
In other words, MFI also measures market interest in a stock (inflows and outflows are closely related to market interest). That's why MFI also includes volume in its indicator.
How to read the MFI indicator is very easy, almost the same as how to read other indicators, such as the relative strength index, stochastic, and others.
MFI has 2 main boundary lines, the overbought and oversold lines. The overbought line is at 80 and above. The oversold line is at 20 and below (note the arrow above). This means that if the MFI indicator is at 80 and above, there has been too much money inflow from investors, which causes the stock price to rise, thus causing overbought.
Meanwhile, if the MFI indicator is at 20 and below, there is too much money outflow from investors, which causes the stock price to fall, causing oversold.

$JPN225: Nikkei setting up for a rallyAs China reopening looms, maybe we get a boost too Japanese equities from here onwards...There's some interesting names, like Casio, whose line of luxury and more fashionable watches has been successful as of late. Definitely worth looking into it more. The index futures chart has a potential bottom signal in the short term at least, and with news of COVID zero being phased out, we might get the pop that is needed to kick start a Santa Rally here. Entries and stops and take profit levels on chart.
Best of luck!

NIKKEI 225 CFD BEARISH PATTERNJapan is currently facing an inflation high not seen in 40 years. The weak yen and the increased cost of foreign supply for industrial commodities and manufacturing parts are slowing down the economy of the country.
On the technical front the index has broken the support of the triangle pattern and a bearish move might be expected. RSI indicator is heading below 50 neutral line and MACD histogram is below 0.
If the pattern continues the price might test the support levels of 27831. In the opposite scenario, the price might try to reach its previous resistance at 27929.50

We can see that for this month, the implied volatility is around 4.56%, rising 3.68% of last month.
This is currently placing us in the 25th percentile according to ATR and 83th according to JNIV
Based on this percentile calculation, on average the monthly movement for the candle(from open of the candle to the close of the candle) is:
BEARISH Candle : 4.7%
BULLISH Candle : 3.1%
With this in mind we can expect with a close to 23.4% probability that our close of the monthly candle is going to close either above or below the next channel:
BOT: 26600
TOP: 28630
Lastly, based on the calculations that we had for touching the previous candle high and low values, we can estimate that there is a :
80% chance that we are going to touch the previous monthly high of 27600 (already happened yesterday)
25% chance that we are going to touch the previous monthly low of 25600

📖USDJPY-09/30/2022-Squeeze as much as possible out of growth📈📅 Date: 09/30/2022
➡️ Trading instrument: USDJPY
📊 Priority direction: BUY
💬 Comment: The current balance of the USDJPY currency pair in the price area of 144 - 144.70 indicates the further strength of buyers, and there is probably no point in hoping for a reversal now. Also, despite the fact that the dollar index (DXY) is now in a logical correction, JPY is more likely to continue to fall despite some "momentary weakness" of the US currency.
The upper border of the balance at the level of 144.70 is now in the focus, break upside is expected. This scenario is the most conservative. Target is at the level of 145 (145.20 and 145.40 can be considered).
The second variant of entering is the level 144.430, where the support line is located (acting as a price pressure to the level 144.70). At the time of writing this idea, the price is just at this level.
The third entry option is the bottom of the balance at the level of 144. There, one can expect a bounce up or a false breakout.
All three scenarios assume the growth of the USDJPY currency pair with a high degree of probability. Despite this, limit the risks according to the entry system.

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.
