Nikkei technical view

“The index has advanced further in electronic trading, and recovered above its 100 SMA in the daily chart, now nearing a strongly bearish 20 SMA at 19,174 the immediate resistance. In the same chart, the technical indicators head higher, but are still below their mid-lines, limiting chances of a stronger rally”, said Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet. “Shorter term, the 4 hours chart shows that the index has extended above a now bullish 20 SMA, while the technical indicators are partially losing their upward strength, but hold well into positive territory, favoring a new leg higher for this Wednesday”.
