Wave 4 correction finished at 16583.75 and the Index resumed to the downside. Expect NQ_F to continue to the downside in wave 5 to end complete wave (A) in higher degree. Wave 5 of (A) could drop to 16410 – 16357 area (1.236 – 1.618 inverse Fib retracement). After which, we should see a reaction higher in wave (B) before it resumes lower again.
