Short term Elliott Wave view in Nikkei ( NKD_F) suggests that the decline to 4/16 low (18255) ended primary wave ((4)). Up from there, the rally is unfolding as an impulse Elliott wave structure where Minute wave ((i)) ended at 18590, Minute wave ((ii)) ended at 18315, Minute wave ((iii)) ended at 19355, and Minute wave ((iv)) ended at 19170 low. Near term index has reached the minimum extension area in Minute wave ((v)) already, however another push higher towards 19579 area can be seen before index ends cycle from 4/17 lows in Minor wave A. Afterwards index is expected to see a pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings within Minor wave B before further upside is seen. We don’t like selling the proposed pullback and expect buyers to appear again once Minor wave X pullback is complete in 3, 7, or 11 swing provided that pivot at 4/16 low (18255) remains intact.
