A projection analysis reveals an extension of this wave above the 161.8% level of $4,130. It may have a better chance of travelling toward $4,192-$4,211 range.

The channel technique indicates a higher target of $4,261. Considering that the middle channel establishes resistance around $4,141, a correction or consolidation may occur, which is expected to be shallow.
