Japan's Nikkei salvages a positive close on the day, and just down over 2% on the week

  • After a record plunge on Monday, Japanese stocks have definitely escaped from the jaws of catastrophe this week

The Nikkei is ending the day up by 0.56% and on the week itself, it is down 2.46%. The latter sounds bad but it really looked like it was going to be much worse after the Monday close: Japan's Nikkei closes down by a whopping 12% to its lowest since November last year

But a 10% rebound on Tuesday helped to alleviate much of the pain, before a relatively calmer mood in the last few sessions. The chart below shows quite a hold of the 200-week moving average (red line). And what a weekly candle as well.
