This is something you want to know when studying the market, so let's make an effort.
Have you ever heard the term "Flash Crash".
I will explain in detail, so please take a look at the image below.
In the Foreign Exchange market, the dollar-yen pair has shown significant volatility and is experiencing a major crash. The sudden drop in the market for stock investment and FX ETC is referred to as a "flash crash."
On January 3, 2019, Japan was on New Year's holiday with few market participants, but early that morning, the dollar-yen experienced a major crash. In just a few minutes, it plummeted from the 108 yen range to the 103 yen range.
The major cause of this is said to be the downward revision of revenue estimates announced by American Apple Inc. Due to fundamental factors, a flash crash occurred.
I will also explain an example of a flash crash in the stock market.
On May 6, 2010, there was a massive crash in the American stock market where the Dow Inc. average stock price plummeted by more than 1000 points in just about 10 minutes. At that time, it was the largest decline in history.
In an instant, about ...

Today, the 21st, the -1σ and 200MA breakdown is the checkpoint.
As was concerned in last night's video, Europe and America, especially the USA, have fallen, and furthermore, the yen has strengthened to 149.5 yen, delivering a double punch.
Despite that, it still gives the impression of holding at 39,600. However, it has broken below -1σ at 39,760 and the 200MA at 39,670, and if it does not rise in the latter half before the three-day weekend, a tough trend will likely continue.
If the market shows upper shadows in the latter half, February will remain tough. With prices in Japan also rising further, it seems unlikely that a strong rebound will be expected in the short term.

📊 Consideration of the possibility that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will raise interest rates.
Based on the current trends of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whether the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will take the step to raise interest rates.
The decision to raise rates is influenced by the following four key factors.
◦ The CPI (general index) increased by 4.0% compared to the same month last year.
◦ The core CPI (excluding fresh food) has an increase rate of 3.2%.
◦ The core core CPI (excluding fresh food and Energy) has an increase rate of 2.5%.
1. Price trends (Inflation rate)→ The fact that core CPI is stable at over 2% provides justification for interest rate hikes, exceeding the Bank of Japan's target (2%). However, it is important to note that the current inflation is primarily of the "cost-push type (rising Energy and food prices)" and not of the demand-driven "demand-pull type."
Real wages are still on a negative trend (even if nominal wages increase, they are not keeping up with rising prices).
The results of the spring labor negotiations are crucial (if the wage increase rate for large companies exceeds 3%, it will affect the Bank's determination).
The 'built-in inflation' where wages and prices are linked has not yet been reached.
2. Wage trends→ In order for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates, wage growth trends...

I will write about the strategy related to dividend stocks.
Basically, dividend stocks pay dividends four times a year (every quarter).
And this dividend cycle is divided into three types.
(There are exceptions, but I will explain them later).
Stocks that pay dividends in January-April-July-October.
Stocks that pay dividends in February-May-August-November.
Stocks that pay dividends in March-June-September-December.
If you have these three types of stocks, dividends will come in every month.
In fact, in my experience, the dividend cycle starting from March has a higher yield. It's a delicious cycle.
The reason for this is that the Energy Sector (Petroleum, Natural Gas) stocks are gathering.
There are some stocks with uneven dividend amounts, but basically, they have a higher dividend yield than stocks in other sectors.
Therefore, the main focus tends to be biased here.
However, if you also cover other cycles, you will receive dividends every month.
If you can use those dividends to make new purchases, you will also have opportunities to buy every month.
Ideally, you would want to buy something with an annual yield of 5% or more in dividends.
In doing so, one can experience the effects of compound interest...
