Alternatively, the development of the primary bearish intervening wave Ⓧ is not complete yet. These sub-waves all together make up a bearish double zigzag.
It is possible that (W) and (X) have ended, whilst wave (Y) is still under construction. Specifically, as part of the wave (Y), the minor sub-waves W and X were complete. Thus, in the near future, this could lower the actionary wave Y to the 1.245 area.
The goal is determined by the previous minimum, which was formed by the wave (W). An approximate scheme of possible future movement is shown on the chart.
