The sharp move comes after a sustained rally and now raises red flags for the short-term trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the technical side, the decline broke through recent support levels and pushed below the short-term moving averages, with the MACD histogram widening on the downside\u2014signalling increased negative momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/2_image-4-1024x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34033\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a fundamental viewpoint, the drop is tied to broad-based tech sell-offs in Asia following warnings from major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/china\/global-markets-global-markets-2025-11-05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">U.S. banks about \u201cstretched valuations,\u201d<\/a> especially in the semiconductor and AI sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Japan, exporters were hit doubly by the tech slump and by a stronger yen and more cautious global demand backdrop, undermining the bullish momentum that had driven the Nikkei higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, the key things to watch: if the index can hold above the next support near <strong>48,000<\/strong>, there may be a rebound attempt; but if it breaks decisively below that level, a deeper correction toward <strong>46,000\u201345,000<\/strong> could be on the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, for a turnaround, the Nikkei would need a strong close back above <strong>50,000<\/strong> and a tightening of the MACD spread \u2014 ideally driven by fresh catalyst headlines such as improved earnings or positive trade news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The index remains vulnerable as traders weigh stretched valuations against robust earnings fundamentals. With volatility at its highest since April, traders may adopt a more defensive stance ahead of <strong>Nvidia\u2019s earnings<\/strong> and upcoming <strong>U.S. inflation data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNBC Daily Open: Beware the tunnel vision on AI stocks <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HCmTc7Gsad\">https:\/\/t.co\/HCmTc7Gsad<\/a><\/p>&mdash; CNBC (@CNBC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNBC\/status\/1985880915948531989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-term sentiment stays cautious, but longer-term fundamentals \u2014 including corporate profit growth and a weak yen \u2014 could help stabilise Japanese equities once the current correction runs its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login?_gl=1*5vyjdn*_gcl_au*Njc1MzM0NjY0LjE3NTEzNTM4MTc.*_ga*MjA5ODA0NDIzNC4xNzI3OTE1ODQ1*_ga_J26NL1ZVX7*czE3NTE4NzkxMDYkbzMwOCRnMSR0MTc1MTg3OTExOCRqNDgkbDAkaDA.*_ga_6XQ8153GYW*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzU3JGcxJHQxNzUxODc5MTE4JGo1MCRsMCRoMA..*_ga_BG6LYEHPX1*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMTgkajUwJGwwJGgw*_ga_J8BRGZSREX*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_7CG6454YR5*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_69Z54R4H9N*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_CY2VCKFC3C*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_TXZ07R2C21*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_17TMGY9BBE*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_MWDVVSEVL5*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_2QCC3S2748*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_E7D2PCX624*czE3NTE4NzkxMjYkbzUkZzAkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_XJ4037XKK6*czE3NTE4NzkxMjYkbzUkZzAkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_EJCVQDC7VT*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajQyJGwwJGgw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">start trading<\/a> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asian equities tumbled on Wednesday, with the Nikkei 225 leading losses as a sharp tech-driven selloff on Wall Street triggered widespread profit-taking across regional markets. &#8211; vtmarkets.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":20961,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[11,30],"class_list":["post-34032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analysis","tag-indices","tag-nikkei"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nikkei plunges amid tech-led selloff sparking a market rout, driven by weak trade data and profit-taking in key tech stocks.
