Nikkei 225 Technical Analysis Outlook
The Nikkei index finished lower for the second session in a row following weaker close in Wall Street. On the downside, first support stands at 23,086.1, today’s low, a break below that level might drive prices down to 22,726 low from November 1st while a break of that support level will pave the way for a move down to the major support at 22,450 the low from October 23.
The bullish momentum persists and the index will meet resistance at 23,303 today’s top, a credible close above will open the way for a move up to 23,591 yearly high, before an attempt to the next resistance at 24,310 the high from on October 1st, 2018.
