The 1 hour Asia chart update from May 14 shows that the pullback extended lower and broke below previous wave (A) low. The pullback looks incomplete, but is close to ending. The 100% extension of wave (A)-(B) where wave (C) can potentially end is at 1150.93-1187.53 area. This area is shown with a blue box, where we expect buyers to appear for 3 waves bounce at least.

Afterwards, wave ((v)) ended at 1354.2 high. Currently, RTY_F has ended the cycle from May 14 low. The index is now expected to pullback in 3,7 or 11 swings before extending for another leg higher in wave C. The index still needs to break above April 29 peak to confirm that the low is in place and to confirm that the next leg up is in progress.
