Rakuten Bank (5838) IPO – Let’s Go! (Part 2)

By Travis Lundy

  • SBI Sumishin Net Bank (7163 JP) lowered its listing price vs what were already lowered expectations from a year prior. Then Rakuten Bank (5838 JP) lowered its IPO range. 
  • SBI Sumishin dilly-dallied around IPO price for three days then went nuts, rising 40% as of Friday morning. Rakuten Bank’s IPO looks dirt cheap now. 
  • But it is worthwhile comparing it on a spectrum of OTHER Japanese banks and neobanks. 

Japan and Korea Action Levels

By Thomas Schroeder

  • Japan and Korea are meeting rally objective action points. NKY 28,500 touted as the level to short. Korea meeting the 337/338 upper wedge range target to lock in some gains.
  • Japan has formed previous tops below 29,000. Korea will need to backfill and likely retest the top of the rising wedge given the impulsive nature of the rise. 
  • These topping patterns show conviction to form bigger cycle peaks into late April ahead of a more negative phase in May. Factor in final SPX push to 4,200-20.
