The correction did reach 50%, just as expected, and once the MACD diverged, the price went down on H4. This new downtrend may take the price to the current channel support at 5.70. Still, there was a gap that could signal a rise to the resistance at $7.56, in order to close that gap, with the price going down only afterwards.
