The Japanese Nikkei Index

The Nikkei index continues its strong upward trend, but has begun a corrective pullback, reaching levels of 65,573 on the daily timeframe.

The outlook remains bullish in the long term, with the 63,900 level considered a key buying opportunity. A test of this level and the emergence of buy signals could propel the index upwards again.

Conversely, if the correction continues towards the 59,721 level, it remains a significant buying opportunity, and a strong rebound is expected from there.
