Traders cheered upbeat corporate earnings and a weaker yen, which helped export-heavy sectors extend their recent rally. The index is now edging closer to the symbolic\u00a050,000\u00a0level, a mark that could act as both a psychological and technical barrier in the near term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/03\/image-36-1024x450.jpg\" alt=\"Nikkei225\" class=\"wp-image-33084\" title=\"image - VT Markets\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From a\u00a0technical perspective, the uptrend remains firmly intact. The\u00a05-, 10-, and 30-day moving averages\u00a0continue to slope upward, confirming sustained bullish momentum since the breakout above\u00a045,000\u00a0in mid-September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price action has consistently respected the 10-day moving average as dynamic support, while the most recent rebound near\u00a048,000\u00a0reaffirmed the market\u2019s appetite for higher levels. Immediate resistance lies at\u00a049,500\u201350,000, while strong support is seen around\u00a047,800\u201348,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0MACD\u00a0remains in positive territory with a widening spread above the signal line, indicating robust momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The histogram continues to print green bars, reflecting ongoing buying pressure. Unless momentum stalls or the MACD line crosses downward, the current rally could carry further gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market Outlook for the Japanese Stock Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With policy optimism and robust sector rotation underpinning sentiment, Japanese equities appear well-supported heading into the final quarter. Traders will be watching for any concrete details of Takaichi\u2019s fiscal programme, which could set the tone for further gains in\u00a0AI, semiconductor, and infrastructure-linked shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.net\/trade-now\/?utm_campaign=account_c&amp;utm_source=dma&amp;utm_medium=website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>\u00a0to open account and start trading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Nikkei 225\u00a0climbed on Friday, recovering from a sharp pullback in the previous session as traders rotated back into large-cap technology stocks.
