The range is formed by the 23.6 percent and the 38.2 percent projection levels of an upward wave C from $3.67-1/4. The drastic fluctuation within this range complicated the technical readings of the following direction.
Theoretically, a break above $3.80-3/4 could confirm the extension of the wave C towards $3.85, while a break below $3.75-1/2 could cause a loss into the range of $3.67-1/4 to $3.72-1/4. However, to confirm a break will be a challenge, as there has been a few false breaks above $3.80-3/4.
A rise above the Jan. 23 high of $3.81-3/4 could confirm the break above $3.80-3/4 while a fall to $3.74 may signal a break below $3.75-1/2.
