However, the latest red candle suggests short-term profit-taking after the sharp rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the index holds above the <strong>57,500\u201357,300<\/strong> area, the broader uptrend remains intact, with resistance sitting near the recent highs around <strong>58,800\u201359,000<\/strong>. A deeper pullback would likely find initial support near <strong>55,700\u201356,000<\/strong>, where the 10-day average is rising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, this appears to be a technical pause within a strong bullish trend rather than a confirmed reversal. Momentum remains constructive unless price decisively breaks below the short-term moving averages with expanding downside volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Cautious Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further yen strength could weigh on exporters, but stabilising bond yields and government coordination may prevent sharp corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The post-election honeymoon phase remains intact, but eyes are now on whether policies can be delivered swiftly enough to keep markets elevated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn more about trading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/indices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Indices<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VT Markets<\/a> today.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikkei rallies past 58,000 on stimulus hopes and political clarity;
