Japan 225 (NIKKEI 225) Market Finds Solid Support Level

The broader stock market has been somewhat indecisive over the past week, and the Japan 225 index has similarly managed to stabilize at a favorable support level. Despite the recent uncertainty, technical indicators still suggest that the market may be positioned for an upward move. Let’s break down the details below.

Key Levels

Resistance: 40,000, 42,500, 45,000

Support: 39,000, 36,500, 34,000

NIKKEI Bulls Hold Their Ground

On the daily chart, the Japan 225 market continues to maintain its position above the middle band of the Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator. The most recent candle is a green one, perched just above the middle band, signaling that bullish sentiment is still present.

Similarly, the Smoothed Rate of Change (SROC) indicator line is currently above the equilibrium level and appears in green, reinforcing the likelihood of upward momentum. From a technical perspective, the indicators are aligned to support a potential rebound from the current support zone.

Japan 225 Experiences a Shaky Rebound

On the 4-hour chart, price action has bounced off the lower band of the BB indicator. However, the strength of the rebound seems uncertain. After two consecutive green candles, the latest candle is red, suggesting a possible short-term pullback.

Price action remains below the middle band of the BB indicator, and the SROC indicator is trending sideways after recently dipping below the equilibrium level. At this point, there’s a possibility that the downward retracement could continue. Whether the price rebounds off the 39,000 support level or dips further will likely depend on upcoming economic data and developments. These factors will ultimately determine if the index can climb back toward the 40,000 mark.
