Key Insights Summary

The NKD Nikkei/USD futures daily chart shows a market in transition. Short-term momentum has slowed, with recent price action turning lower and the weekly session fib grid (WSFG) indicating a downtrend as price trades below the NTZ center. This is confirmed by the short-term swing pivot trend (DTrend) and both the 5-day and 10-day moving averages trending down. However, the intermediate and long-term outlooks remain constructive: the monthly and yearly session fib grids (MSFG, YSFG) both show price above their respective NTZ centers and in uptrends, supported by the 20, 55, 100, and 200-day moving averages all trending higher. The most recent swing pivot is a low at 42420, with the next key resistance at 43955 and support levels down to 40661 and below. Volatility (ATR) and volume (VOLMA) are moderate, suggesting a pause or consolidation phase after a strong rally. Recent short trade signals reflect the short-term pullback, but the broader structure still favors higher lows and an overall bullish bias on longer timeframes. The market is currently digesting gains, with potential for further retracement or a base-building phase before the next directional move.
