How to use the Nikkei 225 levels
Each plan lists a pivot, the level nearest the last price, with resistance levels above and support levels below. Draw them on your chart before the OSE open. The pivot is the first price to watch: holding above the pivot keeps the resistance levels in play, and losing the pivot points at the support levels.
The levels come from the regular session, 9:00am to 3:40pm Tokyo, so they describe the hours when most Nikkei 225 volume trades. The recap above shows how price behaved around the last session’s levels, told from that session’s pivot.
The glossary defines every term in a plan, and the sample plan walks through one real session from the levels to the close. Every Nikkei 225 plan is on the Nikkei 225 plans page.
