The price has already reached a 38.2% Fibo of the move, so there is every chance that the price can continue higher and taken the bear’s commitments at trendline resistance on a break beyond the recent highs. 

Nevertheless, a re-run of the level and break thereof could open the way for a deeper correction all the way to the trendline support and a 61.8% Fibonacci support level.
