The rebound has been driven by a wave (4), which peaked around $82.63, the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement on the fall from the Oct. 1 high of $92.96 to $79.44. A downward wave (5) has travelled below a support at $81.41, the 14.6 percent level, and is progressing towards $79.44.
A rise above $81.41, now a resistance, could signal the extension of the wave (4) towards $82.63.
