[Breaking News] The weekly chart of the Nikkei 225 closed as a bullish candle this week. Although simultaneous rate hikes occurred in the U.S., Japan, and Europe, they were largely priced in, creating a sense of smooth passage. Market expectations remain strong that Japanese equities will continue to rise despite rising interest rates. Technically, the market has been in a downtrend since August, but a breakout above this channel would confirm a rebound, making a new year-end high increasingly likely. https://t.co/vIrMpGZWYz
