29 Apr, 2019

The support is identified as the 86.4 percent projection level of an upward wave C from $51.23. It may have triggered a pullback towards a rising trendline which establishes a resistance around $63.75.

The wave C is expected to consist of five waves. The sharp fall from the April 23 high of $66.60 could have been driven by the fourth wave labeled (4), which is an alternation of the preceding wave (2). The (4) may end above a support at $61.99, the 38.2 percent retracement of the uptrend from $54.52 to $66.60.

An upward wave (5) may start around $61.99, the push the price towards $66.60 again. Despite the depth of the fall from $66.60, it is too early to conclude that the uptrend has reversed.
