The immediate stance is to Buy on dips [closing].
The Nikkei Average declined for five consecutive trading days, ending at 38,813.58 yen, down 268.13 yen (estimated Volume of approximately 2.2 billion shares). Following the perception that the results of the USA Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) were hawkish, the major stock indices in the USA fell the previous day, leading to risk-averse selling. The Nikkei Average dipped to 38,355.52 yen shortly after the market opened. However, as the yen weakened to the mid-154 yen range against the dollar, it provided support for the market, while the Bank of Japan continued its financial measures.
Moves to adjust positions ahead of the FOMC results.
The Nikkei average fell for four consecutive trading days, ending at 39,081.71 yen, down 282.97 yen (estimated Volume of 2.1 billion 10 million shares). Selling began on the back of declines in major stock indices in the USA market the previous day. During the mid-morning session, it fell to 39,123.32 yen. However, buying on dips and the stability of US stock Futures in the China market and Extended hours trading led to a rise to 39,382.69 yen by the end of the morning session. However, the results of the US Federal Open Market Committee, which will be revealed early tomorrow Japan time, are on the horizon.
Before the central bank events in Japan and the United States, after a round of buying, there is a stalemate.
The Nikkei average declined for three consecutive trading days, ending at 39,364.68 yen, down 92.81 yen (estimated Volume 1.8 billion 90 million shares). Reflecting the flow of tech stocks being bought in the previous day's USA market, buying led the way, primarily focused on Semiconductors-related stocks. The Nikkei average began to rebound and extended upwards to 39,796.22 yen shortly after the start. However, ahead of events from the USA and Japan central banks, including the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), momentum for aggressive upward movement was limited, and after the buying activity settled, there were adjustments in holdings leading to Sell.
A sense of stagnation is increasing ahead of the Japan-U.S. financial meeting.
The Nikkei average slightly declined, finishing at 39,457.49 yen, down 12.95 yen (with an estimated Volume of 1.5 billion 20 million shares). Following the trend of technology stocks being bought in the US market last weekend, a portion of semiconductor-related stocks were purchased, and shortly after the market opened, the Nikkei average rose to 39,632.17 yen. However, after breaking the psychological barrier of 39,500 yen, there was a Sell to secure short-term profits, along with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting starting on the 17th and other events on the 18th.

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.
