the BCP3 also suggests bearish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">B) Reduction of excesses with a drop below 50% overextension on the MA200W.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C) Historically this has translated into the Nikkei 225 being at a top or in a topping phase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D) From an operational standpoint, non-bullish strategies can be adopted: OTM Short Calls, or ATM Long Puts if you give weight to the BCP3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>Long-Term Scenario<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E) Once the excesses are exhausted and the overextension falls back below 50%, the index has historically resumed its rise &#8211; a final leg that can even produce new highs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F) If history repeats, this is where the most important trading window will open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rally toward new highs tends to push the overextension back above 50% &#8211; especially if the recovery is swift, but also with a more fragmented, stop-and-go advance, provided it is large enough to bring prices back into that excess zone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that point, the statistical conditions for a bear market return to those described above.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The return of the overextension above 50% thus becomes the first signal to build long-term bearish positions (Short Futures, Long Puts) targeting the full reabsorption of the overextension on the MA200W.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>Alternatively, if the excess does not reform, only a strong bearish signal after new highs should be considered as a short entry level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full reabsorption, based on historical precedents, is unlikely to occur before 2027.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br \/>In the short term there are two paths:<br \/><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aggressive Bearish<\/strong> &#8211;
