Nikkei 225 Strategy: Position adjustment during low volume period
Range 15,978-17,653 firmly contains price action
Sideways movements likely dominate Asian market this week
JPN 225 stalled its recent decline today, to trade flat within Friday’s band as Asia market starts Lunar New Year celebration with low liquidity across the board. The range 15,978 – 17,653 is expected to contain price action through this week. Traders could take this chance to readjust positions in preparation for a return of volatility next week.
Today’s price action conforms to Friday’s band, hinting at a drop in volatility. Occasional range trade opportunities could materialise during this holiday period. However any challenge of the two boundaries would be unlikely.
