XAG/USD: How high will the price rise in the intervening wave (X)?

XAGUSD seems to be forming a correction wave b of the cycle degree, which is part of a large zigzag.

Apparently, correction b is a primary triple zigzag Ⓦ-Ⓧ-Ⓨ-Ⓧ-Ⓩ. The first four parts of it have already been fully completed, now we see the construction of the last wave Ⓩ.

Most likely, the wave Ⓩ will be an intermediate triple zigzag (W)-(X)-(Y)-(X)-(Z). It seems that the formation of the actionary intermediate wave (Y) has come to an end, it has taken the form of a double zigzag W-X-Y. Thus, now we see growth in the intermediate intervening wave (X).

It can be assumed that the wave (X) will end in the form of a minor double zigzag W-X-Y near 21.169. At that level, it will be at 50% along the Fibonacci lines of sub-wave (Y).

Alternatively, it is assumed that the bearish primary wave Ⓩ may end in the form of a double zigzag (W)-(X)-(Y).

Most likely, the market is now in the final part of the actionary wave (Y), or rather in its final minor sub-wave C.

Wave C may end in the form of an impulse consisting of minute sub-waves.

To complete this impulse, a final sub-wave ⓥ is needed. The end of the specified impulse is possible near 12.473. At that level, primary wave Ⓩ will be at 200% of actionary wave Ⓨ.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation
We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”
9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?
The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
