The Nikkei 225 index in its daily chart exposes an ascending channel that shows the Japanese index completing a second bullish leg.
In this post, we will disclose some factors suitable for a bearish trade setup.
-
The long-term ascending channel has a similar structure that completed a bullish five-waves sequence.
-
Currently, a congestion zone is holding the Japanese index. The extension of this zone ranges between 23,330 pts and 23,635 pts. This area could act as an exhaustion zone.
-
The bearish position will activate if price breaks and closes under 23,150 pts. Our conservative scenario foresees a profit target at 22,810 pts. The second profit target level is at 22,550 pts, and the third profit level is at 22,250 pts.
-
The sell-side scenario will be invalid if the price continues rising above 23,405 pts.
-
The risk, Nikkei, remains in an uptrend. A reversal setup could be weighted if price action demonstrates weakness on the current bullish leg.
