SNAP correction and target

From the peak, SNAP already has 5 swings down, and appears the structure is not finished yet to end wave (A). Therefore, we should see more downside in the next few days. After completing this wave (A), we should bounce in at least 3 swings or 7 swings to correct the drop from the top and that movement we will call wave (B). Then we should resume the downtrend looking for another 5 swings down to repeat the fractal of wave (A), finishing an (A) (B) (C) correction as wave ((2)) and then the stock should find buyers for a new rally. We expect that this correction will end in a $44.25 – $23.59 area and we are going to be updating to look for the best entry in this one.
