Japan was up nearly 300pts tonight. Unfortunately, they are topping out in a very serious way. It has a pattern that I would call a "short and hold". I look for these types of tops. I would give it another 150....maybe 200 points, tops before it falls again, and this time it will be hard. IMO, the congestion at 12k wasn't just resistance, it was a serious top.
my prediction of 12000 top on March 8 Message 17169570
