Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the Nikkei 225 (N225) tape (61,077.90, -1.79%), overhead supply continues to cap relief bounces after a MSS at 62,726.18 around the 51,812.23 50% Equilibrium threshold. Active Bearish Order Block (-OB) supply is defending 64,819.56–65,067.80, leaving downside liquidity exposed toward the 58,028.75–58,265.18 demand zone. An open Bearish Fair Value Gap (60,786.19–63,615.32) reinforces overhead supply on relief rallies. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 62,938.71 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 59,812.54.
