However, the market can continue moving in a downward direction much deeper.
In the last section of the chart, we see the structure of a bearish zigzag wave (Z) of the intermediate degree, which consists of minor sub-waves A-B-C. For full completion, a minute fifth wave is needed, which can complete the minor impulse near 21.26.
At the specified level, the intermediate wave (Z) will be at 200% of wave (Y).
