Desk tracking flags bearish displacement on Nikkei 225 (N225) at 62,188.63 (-1.42%); the recent MSS at 62,726.18 keeps sellers in control across the Premium regime (51,812.23 midpoint). 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. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 64,208.71 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 60,814.97.
