South Korea surged <strong>3.4%<\/strong>, Taiwan gained <strong>1.9%<\/strong>, while New Zealand, China, Singapore, and Indonesia rose between <strong>0.3%<\/strong> and <strong>0.9%<\/strong>. Malaysia bucked the trend, falling <strong>0.3%<\/strong>, while Hong Kong traded close to flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rebound came after Iran and Israel agreed to halt attacks following a fresh escalation in the conflict. US President Donald Trump said both sides were seeking an immediate ceasefire and that final negotiations were moving forward. However, the US naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in place until an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Traders Are Watching This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders are watching the Nikkei225 as the index reacts to both regional risk sentiment and domestic sector rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japanese equities found support from automakers, banks, and selected technology names. Honda rose almost <strong>2%<\/strong>, Toyota gained nearly <strong>1%<\/strong>, Tokyo Electron surged more than <strong>5%<\/strong>, Screen Holdings advanced almost <strong>3%<\/strong>, and Advantest gained more than <strong>1%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banks also helped the recovery. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial rose almost <strong>2%<\/strong>, while Sumitomo Mitsui Financial and Mizuho Financial gained more than <strong>1%<\/strong> each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the rally was uneven. SoftBank Group fell almost <strong>3%<\/strong>, Fast Retailing lost more than <strong>1%<\/strong>, Sony dropped more than <strong>2%<\/strong>, and Sumco tumbled more than <strong>5%<\/strong>. That split suggests traders are still selective, even as the broader index attempts to stabilise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan\u2019s money supply data also pointed to firmer liquidity conditions. M2 money stock rose <strong>2.5%<\/strong> year-on-year in May to <strong>1,298.1 trillion yen<\/strong>, following a <strong>2.3%<\/strong> rise in April and a <strong>2.0%<\/strong> gain in March. M3 rose <strong>1.7%<\/strong> to <strong>1,642.4 trillion yen<\/strong>, M1 rose <strong>0.3%<\/strong> to <strong>1,102.9 trillion yen<\/strong>, and L money stock jumped <strong>4.7%<\/strong> to <strong>2,334.5 trillion yen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Trading Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<!-- TradingView Widget BEGIN -->\n<div class=\"tradingview-widget-container\">\n  <div class=\"tradingview-widget-container__widget\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tradingview-widget-copyright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/SPREADEX-NIKKEI\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"blue-text\">NIKKEI chart<\/span><\/a><span class=\"trademark\"> by TradingView<\/span><\/div>\n  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.tradingview.com\/external-embedding\/embed-widget-advanced-chart.js\" async>\n  {\n  \"allow_symbol_change\": true,\n  \"calendar\": false,\n  \"details\": false,\n  \"hide_side_toolbar\": true,\n  \"hide_top_toolbar\": false,\n  \"hide_legend\": false,\n  \"hide_volume\": false,\n  \"hotlist\": false,\n  \"interval\": \"D\",\n  \"locale\": \"en\",\n  \"save_image\": true,\n  \"style\": \"1\",\n  \"symbol\": \"SPREADEX:NIKKEI\",\n  \"theme\": \"dark\",\n  \"timezone\": \"Etc\/UTC\",\n  \"backgroundColor\": \"#0F0F0F\",\n  \"gridColor\": \"rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.06)\",\n  \"watchlist\": [],\n  \"withdateranges\": false,\n  \"compareSymbols\": [],\n  \"studies\": [],\n  \"width\": 980,\n  \"height\": 610\n}\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<!-- TradingView Widget END -->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Level<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What Traders Are Watching<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>65,945<\/td><td>Recent swing high and stronger recovery level<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>65,656<\/td><td>Intraday high and breakout resistance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>65,301<\/td><td>Current recovery zone<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>65,283<\/td><td>Current trade zone<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>64,968<\/td><td>5-period moving average<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>64,825<\/td><td>20-period moving average and key support<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>64,807<\/td><td>10-period moving average<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>63,974<\/td><td>Intraday low<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>63,490<\/td><td>Lower chart support<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikkei225 has rebounded sharply from the <strong>63,974<\/strong> intraday low and is now trading above its short-term moving averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>5-period MA sits at 64,968<\/strong>, the <strong>10-period MA at 64,807<\/strong>, and the <strong>20-period MA at 64,825<\/strong>.

A move below <strong>64,825<\/strong> would weaken the rebound and shift attention back toward <strong>63,974<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the chart, the next drivers are ceasefire headlines, yen movement, Wall Street risk sentiment, and whether Japanese banks, automakers, and technology stocks can keep offsetting weakness in index heavyweights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p><strong>Why Is Nikkei225 Rising Today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikkei225 is rising as Asian markets recover on renewed ceasefire optimism between Iran and Israel. Gains in automakers, banks, and selected technology shares also helped Japan\u2019s benchmark index rebound from recent losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Is the Key Level to Watch for Nikkei225?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key upside level is <strong>65,656<\/strong>. A move above this area could support a push toward <strong>65,945<\/strong>. On the downside, <strong>64,825<\/strong> is the first major support level to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can Nikkei225 Continue Higher?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikkei225 could continue higher if buyers hold the moving average cluster near <strong>64,807 to 64,968<\/strong> and push price above <strong>65,656<\/strong>. A stronger move would need continued risk appetite and support from major sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Could Push Nikkei225 Lower?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikkei225 could come under pressure if ceasefire optimism fades, the yen strengthens sharply, Wall Street sentiment weakens, or major index heavyweights continue to decline. A move below <strong>64,825<\/strong> would weaken the short-term setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I Trade Nikkei225 With VT Markets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.
