Nikkei 225 rebounds from support - go long!

The second half of May is coming, and it means that there is a new opportunity to work with the Japanese index Nikkei 225, the German stock market index DAX and the French index CAC 40, which had showed its well in the second parts of the month of the year.

Today we will focus on the Japanese stock index as an instrument with a significant average yield of a deal, 91.7% of the growth of which falls on average just in the 2nd half of the month, as one of the studies showed.

Since the beginning of the crisis in Eastern Europe, Nikkei 225 index had lost 6.7%, but subsequently positions were restored rather quickly.

Currently, the index is traded within a price range of 26000 - 27450, as it was during the previous month.

Since a high level of geopolitical uncertainty, economic tensions and sanctions pressure is preserved, and the end of the conflict is not yet expected, probably the Japanese index will continue the flat movement. 

The technical picture is (daily timeframe):

1). Near the support level of 26000, a candle is visible, close to the doji - a reversal candlestick pattern, which will be confirmed if it closes above 26330 today;

2). The price has reached the lower Bollinger band;

3). The AD indicator line is in the positive zone.

All together, it speaks of the likely growth of the index to the upper limit of the range of 27450.
