The Nikkei 225 closed at 59,513 (+0.38%) on the day, continuing its upward momentum as it approaches key resistance levels. The index traded within a day range of 59,264 to 59,707, indicating a stable performance despite global market fluctuations, and suggesting underlying strength in the Japanese equities amid a generally risk-on sentiment.

From a technical perspective, the Nikkei remains well above both its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) of 57,774 and its 50-day SMA of 55,998, reinforcing a bullish trend. The relative strength index (RSI) at 64.5 signals that the index is in neutral territory, allowing for potential upside without immediate overbought conditions. The current 52-week range of 48,538 to 60,537 indicates that the index is nearing the upper boundary, which could act as a significant resistance level.

Looking ahead, key levels to watch include the psychological barrier at 60,000 and the recent high of 60,537. A sustained breach above these levels could open the door for further gains, while a retreat below the 58,000 mark may signal a correction.
