Japan, Korea hesitate

The Dow Jones Japan Index ($JPDOW) formed a small pennant consolidation, favoring continuation of the down-trend. Follow-through below 50.50 would confirm, whereas recovery above 52.00 would indicate retracement to test 53.30. 21-Day Twiggs Money Flow deep below zero warns of strong selling pressure.

DJ South Korea encountered resistance below 400, indicated by a red candle and up-tick in volume. Reversal below 360 would warn of another down-swing.

The Dow Jones Taiwan Index fared slightly better, advancing to 186 on light volume. Follow-through on Tuesday would confirm a rally to test resistance at 200.

I have used the Dow Jones Index Series as data is 15-minute delayed. I will update the better-known Nikkei and KOSPI indices when these are updated at 7:00 p.m. ET.
