BBJP holds its buy signal but strength stays low

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

The sell signal that had been fading on BBJP for weeks has closed out, and this week a fresh buy signal opens on BBJP, the Japan ETF. Price is hugging the recent highs, with the weekly MACD just back above its Signal line, but two rejection candles of opposite sign leave the week with some caution. Signal strength stays low, 28 out of 100: technical analysis calls for care, and our model flags opening right now as high risk.

This week's summary

The buy signal on BBJP, the ETF tracking the Japanese equity market, has cleared its first confirmation week. Price is still hugging recent highs, above the 50-week moving average, but the week closed lower and signal strength stays low. The technical picture isn't convincing yet: we prefer a cautious profile, with minimum sizing and close attention to the stop.
