Seguem-se dois gráficos, diário e semanal, para o Nikkei actualizados com o fecho desta madrugada.

Zona dos 17.000 é resistência de longo-prazo...

Fecho desta madrugada para o Nikkei, a quebrar em alta a resistência descendente de longo-prazo mas sem convencer...

A pequena vela de hoje tem todo o aspecto de uma Shooting Star, padrão que segundo a teoria dos Candlesticks japoneses é de inversão e com implicações bearish.

Explicação retirada do site Litwick:

Shooting Star / Gravestone Doji Bearish
Pattern: Reversal
Trend: Bearish
Reliability: Low/Moderate

How to Identify it

Small real body at the upper end of the trading range
Prices gap open
Upper shadow usually at least three times as long as the real body
No (or almost no) lower shadow

What it Means

The market gaps open above the previous day's close in an uptrend. It rallies to a new high then loses strength and closes near its low: a bearish change of momentum. Confirmation of the trend reversal would by an opening below the body of the Shooting Star on the next trading day. If the open and the close are identical, the indicator is considered a Gravestone Doji. The Gravestone Doji has a higher reliability associated with it than a Shooting Star.

Nikkei ends 2006 up 6.9 percent, 4th year of gains

TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The Nikkei share average ended 2006 with a 6.9 percent gain for the year, marking its fourth straight year of growth and its longest bull run in nearly two decades. Boosted by advances in firms such as steel makers (.ISTEL.T: Quote, NEWS , Research) and auto makers (.ITEQP.T: Quote, NEWS , Research), as well as increased expectations of mergers and acquisitions among Japanese firms, Tokyo stocks recovered from a steep fall earlier in 2006 to book their longest year-on-year winning streak since the years through 1989.

"For blue-chip stocks, the companies with strong earnings that are globally competitive ... it was a very good year," said Renji Motohashi, a general manager in the equity department at Shinko Securities.

The Nikkei <.N225> finished Friday's half-day of trade just 0.01 percent higher at 17,225.83. That marked its highest close since early May. The benchmark ended 2005 at 16,111.43. The broader TOPIX index <.TOPX> ended the day up 0.13 percent at 1,681.07, managing a gain of 1.9 percent for the year. It too booked its fourth year of gains, for its longest win streak since 1989.

The Tokyo market will be closed for the New Year holiday until Jan. 4, when it will open for a half-day of trade. Full-day trade resumes from Jan. 5.

Notable performers on Nikkei included Nippon Steel Corp. (5401.T: Quote, NEWS , Research), which gained nearly 63 percent during the year, boosted by expectations of further consolidation in the steel industry.

Leading exporters such as Canon Inc. (7751.T: Quote, NEWS , Research) also posted significant gains, rising 46 percent this year.

Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T: Quote, NEWS , Research) gained 30 percent in 2006.
