Nikkei 225 Shows Signs of Exhaustion Below 64,145 Resistance
The Nikkei 225 index recently achieved a fresh record high of 63,788, driven primarily by strong performances from technology sector heavyweights such as SoftBank Group and Murata Manufacturing. Despite the persistence of a broader medium-term bullish trend, technical analysis indicates that the rally is facing minor exhaustion. Key indicators, including a developing bearish Head and Shoulders pattern and hourly RSI bearish divergence, suggest an increased risk of a near-term corrective pullback below the 64,145 resistance level. Furthermore, Elliott Wave and Fibonacci analyses point to the completion of a five-wave bullish impulsive sequence, signaling momentum weakness. Consequently, market analysts predict a higher probability of a short-term retracement toward support zones around 61,945 or lower. This assessment highlights the tension between sustained upward momentum and emerging technical signals for a potential correction in the Japanese equity market.
