This is the usual “annual” pattern, but the stock market tends to be rough every quarter from the end of the month to the beginning of the month. Company shares cannot be bought on the last 5 business days of the month due to exchange rules. Institutional investors prioritize profit. In particular, March to April is the end of the March fiscal period, and the wait-and-see attitude becomes even stronger.
Foreigners (oil money is the main source of purchases from January to March this year) are slow because Americans are due for tax returns (4/15) and Middle Eastern Americans have Ramadan (3/10 to 4/8). It will probably be after mid-April that they are ready and will be active in earnest. Of course, the upward trend has not changed at all in both the Japanese and US markets.
Therefore, thorough push buying tactics continue to be effective. You won't be afraid. There is a long way to go, like saying “the market price is tomorrow too.” The author advocates the rise in market prices since last year as a “furious rebellion drama.”
After all, it has endured for 30 years. The Nikkei Stock Average recaptured its all-time high at the end of 1989 for the first time in 34 years, but the NY Dow (2,753 dollars at the end of 1989) has increased 14 times during this time.
