Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the Nikkei 225 (N225) tape (63,081.86, -0.33%), overhead supply continues to cap relief bounces after a MSS at 62,726.18 around the 51,812.23 50% Equilibrium threshold. Any intraday retest into the 64,819.56–65,067.80 Bearish Order Block faces overhead distribution, with 58,028.75–58,265.18 acting as the primary downside magnet. An open Bearish Fair Value Gap (62,712.91–64,831.29) reinforces overhead supply on relief rallies. Pre-Market Gameplan: Bias remains toward the 61,841.80 downside liquidity pool while price stays capped beneath the 64,905.48 invalidation threshold.
