Nikkei

Nikkei weekly 3LB update.

The Nikkei is making a move towards the weekly reversal midpoint after testing the 55sma. We'll see if it's real as it approaches the midpoint. I suspect a headfake is in the works.

This is one of the reasons why I like the three line break charts. Here is a long term 3LB of the S&P 500 showing dates of the change in direction. The chart is independent of time. A new candle is drawn when the price targets are hit. That's why you can get a 1966-2009 chart on one page. You can also expand the chart by having bars repeat until a new bar is drawn. That helps the chart line up to the candlestick charts.
