Therefore, any correction in the index may be considered as a buying opportunity for the next uptrend.<\/p>\n<p>As long as the Nikkei 225 index remains above 50,000, it may consolidate to form a bottom for the next rally higher. RSI also shows that the index is consolidating above the mid-level, which indicates further upside in the short term. A recovery above the 57,500 level will introduce another rally towards 60,000. However, a break above 60,000 will push the index further upside towards the 65,000 level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The decline in the Nikkei 225 was also caused by currency and policy expectations.
