The Nikkei

The Nikkei index continued its upward trend, reaching 72,269 points after rebounding from support levels.

The index is still expected to continue its upward trend, and any correction or decline will present a good opportunity to re-enter the market and buy.

The best buying zones for the index currently are the demand zones near the 65130 level, and a test of this level is expected to lead to a renewed upward movement.
