Japanese shares
Eoin Treacy's view Softbank
had become quite overextended relative to the 200-day MA by early February and
pulled back sharply this week. It is now testing the 200-day MA and the succession
of higher reaction lows. If the medium-term uptrend is to remain consistent,
the share will need to find support in this region.
Fanuc
ranged below ¥13,000 from early January and this week's pullback has completed
a reversion to the 200-day MA. Provided it holds above the psychological ¥10,000,
the benefit of the doubt can continue to be given to the medium-term upside
Aozora
Bank encountered resistance near ¥200 following an impressive advance.
The share pulled back violently today but found support near ¥140 and closed
near ¥170. While today's rebound is impressive, it will need to hold most
of the gain from the low if the medium-term uptrend is to be given the benefit
of the doubt.
