The bounce from the Aug. 1 low of $4.71-3/4 is extending. It consists of three waves. The third wave labelled c is unfolding towards the range of $4.94-3/4 to $5.01-3/4, formed by the 61.8% and the 50% projection levels of a downward wave (c) from $5.31-1/2.

This wave is a part of a zigzag from the June 27 high of $5.57-1/4, which may have ended around $4.72-1/4. Even though it is too early to conclude that the downtrend from this high has reversed, a further bounce could be highly likely.

Key support is at $4.80-1/4, a break below which would signal the continuation of the downtrend towards the range of $4.63-1/2 to $4.72-1/4.
