Should markets around the world really care about what the Nikkei 225 Index does? The Power of the Pattern
suggests “yes”! Here’s why.
The above are edited excerpts from an article* by Chris Kimble (blog.kimblechartingsolutions.com) entitled Nikkei about to impact the S&P 500…Again?.

Kimble goes on to say in further edited excerpts:
In early 2007, the Nikkei 225 broke support at (1) [as shown in the chart below] as it was hitting channel resistance and declined. Soon after index’s around the world followed.

The above chart reflects that the Nikkei 225 index hit dual channel resistance at the beginning of this year. It appears to be heavy resistance because the Nikkei 225 rally stopped at dual resistance and so far in 2014, its down 13%. The decline after hitting resistance, looks to be causing a break of support.
In my humble opinion, the Nikkei 225 Index remains a global leader in both bull and bear markets and the action of late in this index should be respected and watched closely!
