Looking at this chart, if we can break above the top of the bullish flag, it’s very likely that the market goes looking towards the ¥150 level. The 50 day EMA underneath is reaching towards the crucial 200 day EMA, possibly causing a “golden cross” which of course is a very bullish sign for longer-term traders. The noise from Brexit continues to cause issues, so that’s probably the one thing that continues to put a little bit of a lid on this market. Once we do break out though, this market should continue to go much higher, skyrocketing once we finally break through resistance.

To the downside, the ¥137.50 level should offer a bit of support based upon the structural action that we had seen previously. Ultimately, this is a market that will eventually find a reason to go higher, but the question is whether or not the flag kicks off a or if we need to wait for value underneath?
