Profit-taking Sell is prevailing in response to the consecutive rise.

The Nikkei Stock Average fell for the first time in five days, finishing the trade at 39,470.44 yen, down 378.70 yen (estimated Volume 1.9 billion 90 million shares). In the previous day's US market, major stock price indices declined, and after recovering the significant 0.04 million yen mark the day before, profit-taking Sell orders were prioritized due to short-term overheating. Although there were some moments where prices slightly recovered due to Buy orders on dips, the failure to stay above the SQ value (39,434.85 yen) invited selling pressure, and there were instances where it dropped to 39,247.41 yen towards the end of the morning session.
