JAPAN225CFD trade ideas
Stocks - What Next?Idea for indices:
- As expected, Robinhood IPO was the trigger for global sell-off (other factors involved obviously, but I have been posting about everything macro related in other posts).
- China continuing to lead down.
- Look how the deflationary wave hits HSI > Nikkei > EU > US. Dome tops forming everywhere.
- ECB actually has greater QE than US, so EU index performance is a critical tell for deflationary forces vs. QE.
- Watch China Tech ETFs to lead US indices down. Managers will need to also liquidate US positions as their portfolio % exposure becomes overweight.
I've been enjoying watching Nikkei lately - it just broke a critical support and 200 DMA (6m low), officially a bear market if it consolidates losses. However, it is still holding 50 WMA and 200 DMA in real performance... waiting for US markets for confirmation.
Bearish bias here, turning point is due. Aug 2 debt limit will be in focus. Early August is my trigger for reversal confirmation. If it holds, we can back off and try again later, but rugpull is definitely due.
Already short US indices (long vol).
Nikkei real performance (relative to currency):
Here is what I think will happen to Nikkei next:
GLHF
- DPT
Bullish flag on 225JPY. Price failed to break previous low creating today a higher high on the daily chart, indicating a possible market structure shift. RSI three touch bullish divergence. Market structure broke previous minor resistance adding another confluence. Overall bigger trend is bullish while minor trend is bearish. Looking for a break of the flag and continuation. Usually this patterns take a while to break so will be taken as a swing trade.

Nikkei Options Strategy for coming monthsThis is an idea for trading INDEX:NKY options.
In recent months, Nikkei index did experienced some volatile moments, however, they were all short-term momentum that they were unable to be met with trends that lasted for months or even weeks.
The author of this article believes that this trend to continue.
So, I suggest opening an Iron Condor spread which captures the prices between the lines drawn.
