Nikkei : Applying Lessons from GBP/USD

  • Recall old post about possible way in which a market tops out (GBP/USD at 1.6600, 14Sep09).
  • Similar pattern could be repeating in Nikkei now.
  • Weekly : UpTL broken. Now pullback to form possible right shoulder which should top out around 10170 (make allowance for more). Probable NL is at 9677. Head 10767.
  • Monthly : Evening Star completed last month = bearish reversal.
  • Had the hardest time with the GBP/USD trade round about this same stage but seems to be working out fine now. Expect same with shorting Nikkei. Conviction and faith required in abundance. No pain no gain.
  • As per cable, game plan is to run a small short whilst anticipating the RS and to pile into the trade once we break the NL. The right headstart could be worth plenty in terms of mental capital.
