Japan's Nikkei Index Posts Further Losses at the End of Asian Trading Session

The Nikkei

While the Nikkei index remains in a strong upward trend, it has begun a corrective pullback, falling to around 59,321 on the daily timeframe.

The forecast still indicates a continuation of the upward trend in the long term, and the buying zones near the 59721 levels are still considered among the most important buying zones on the index, which have already begun to push the index upwards after reaching them, in a good indication of the upward trend in the medium and long term.
