Nikkei225: Daily Framework Read | 2026-09-29

Price on Nikkei 225 (NKY) sits near 64,938, 2.1% lower on the session and sitting mid-range over the past month. The one-month average sits near 64,864, and price is above it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has firmed over the last two weeks, roughly 1.6% up, leaving the structure as a recovery attempt, back above the one-month average but still under the longer one. The levels that matter are 67,035 overhead, the past month’s swing high, about 3.2% above here, with 62,726 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 3.4% down; the 65,000 and 64,000 round numbers are the nearer handles. Zoom out and the last three months have ranged between 60,449 and 69,608, which frames the bigger picture. For now the tilt is mixed: a close above 67,035 would open room toward 69,608, while losing 62,726 would put 60,449 back in view.
