Nikkei 225 — trend structure through chip-sector volatilityJapan 225 IndexTVC:NI225plexustendAsian equities took a hit this week — Kospi tumbled nearly 9% and Nikkei dropped almost 2% as investors booked profits following SK Hynix's strong Nasdaq debut, pulling chip-linked names down across the region. Nikkei 225 is bouncing back today, and the longer structure underneath is worth a look. Over the past year, the bundle has largely held as support through a sustained uptrend, pullbacks respected along the way. Like any market, there were sharper stretches where the bundle compressed and the read got murky — an honest weak spot that shows up everywhere eventually. Right now price is recovering from yesterday's chip-driven selloff, testing whether the underlying trend structure holds through this round of regional volatility.
