The steep selloff pulled the index well below its 30-period moving average, confirming a short-term bearish phase. However, a modest rebound has since emerged, with price recovering above the <strong>5- and 10-period<\/strong> MAs\u2014hinting at a potential bullish correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/image-13-1024x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22151\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: Nikkei rebounds from 37,835 low, but faces key test near 38,200 amid mixed momentum signals, as seen on the <\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\">VT Markets app<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>MACD<\/strong> has crossed above the signal line and shifted into positive histogram territory, suggesting that momentum may be turning in favour of the bulls.
