China A50 future seems short-term directionless but is in fact trading in a larger range between 12,265 and 13,500. Very short-term the upper band is at around 13,064.
A bullish break is likely to push the A50 future to the 13,500 resistance

A close below 12,265 could fuel a sell-off down to around 11,150 with support at around 11,830

Nikkei 225 future/JP225 cfd seems to be in a corrective phase. Strong resistance at around 33,470.
However, Friday it took out the minor support at 32,170 closing below the Cloud and below the 55 Moving Average indicating a larger correction.
However, the 100 Moving Average is offering some support but if Nikkei225/JP225 is taking out Friday lows a move to strong support at around 31,240 could be seen
