The bounce is made up of three small waves. The wave’s bottom at $6.77-1/2 did not stop the fall.

The drop may eventually reach $6.61-3/4. A break above the $6.80-1/2 to $6.84-1/4 resistance zone could propel prices higher into the $6.89-1/2 to $6.93-3/4 range.

On the daily chart, the contract is retesting the support of $6.75-1/2, a break below which could open the way toward $6.06-3/4.
