The report notes a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/wealth\/hedge-flow-hedge-funds-rush-cut-asia-exposure-ahead-us-tariff-announcement-2025-04-02\/\">6 percentage point drop in net leverage<\/a><\/strong>, down to <strong>61%<\/strong> last week\u2014a sharp defensive pivot ahead of Trump\u2019s planned <strong>reciprocal tariffs rollout on April 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Technical Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nikkei 225 on the 15-minute chart shows a <strong>sharp drop from the high of 36104.15<\/strong> down to a low of 35087.15, followed by a <strong>gradual recovery phase<\/strong>. After the dip, buyers stepped in with increasing momentum\u2014evident from the MACD crossing into bullish territory and the histogram turning green. Price has since <strong>climbed back above 35700<\/strong>, though it\u2019s currently <strong>struggling to gain clear direction<\/strong>, with movement consolidating sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/1_image-1024x441.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19747\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: Nikkei recovers <\/em><em>from<\/em><em> 1000-point dip\u2014buyers cautious, but still in the game, as seen on the <\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\">VT Markets app<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The moving averages (5, 10, 30) are starting to flatten, signaling <strong>neutral momentum<\/strong>. If price sustains above 35700, a retest of the 35840\u201335900 zone could be expected. However, downside pressure remains unless 36100 is reclaimed convincingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Fund Flows and Strategy Shifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>sell-off was widespread<\/strong>, with <strong>multi-strategy and macro hedge funds<\/strong> leading the charge. Outflows focused heavily on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FrYFr6yzjC\">South Korea<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p5tYvEgjJf\">mainland China<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong>Taiwan<\/strong>, according to Morgan Stanley. Japan also saw increased short positions, with traders reacting defensively to Tokyo\u2019s export sensitivity and the potential escalation in <strong>U.S.-Asia trade tensions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, hedge funds exited Chinese consumer stocks and unwound Taiwan tech exposure. This coincided with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/03\/31\/south-korea-ends-its-longest-short-selling-ban-in-history-after-systemic-reforms.html\">South Korea\u2019s decision to lift its long-standing short-selling ban<\/a><\/strong>, further amplifying regional jitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Cautious Forecast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Tuesday\u2019s rebound shows resilience, gains remain fragile.

On the upside, the index would need to break and hold above <strong>35,800<\/strong> to encourage more sustained buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders should expect <strong>high volatility<\/strong> through the week, with positioning light and liquidity thin ahead of the holiday period in several Asian markets.
