Regarding the analysis of the Nikkei 220 index, it fell sharply to 53,617, breaking through initial buying levels and reaching the next buying zone, consistent with the upward trend.

Currently, we expect to see the index rise to the specified targets at the levels of $58,400 and $60,000 respectively, only if any reversal signals appear. The current situation indicates the possibility of the index continuing to decline due to the war.
