South Korea's KOSPI .KS11 lost 0.7% Japan's Nikkei .N225 gave up early gains to drift away from a recent 13-month high after data showed the country's core machinery orders fell for a third straight month. Australian shares bucked the downbeat trend, rising 0.5% to a two-week high. That left MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS down 0.5%.

It's recommended to post trailing stop loss on existing long positions and start selling on strength with strict stop loss of 36,700 points. Because if index would not succeed in breakout of 36,200 points then it would roll back to retest its supportive region at 34,500 points. On short term basis index would remain range bound between 34,500 to 36,700 points.
