Weekly (W1)
The weekly interval sees that the price already realized our scenario sketched out over the course of the last weeks (13500 points) which could coincide with the end of a 5th wave. There has been no a confirmation of a bearish market thus far therefore it’s worth paying attention to other technical indicators. That said, RSI signals that we’ve already entered an overbought zone and a divergence with the price might be spotted.

Daily (D1)
The price drew an ominous candlestick on Friday in the vicinity of 13500 points, however it failed to touch an upper limit of a channel. Even as a test of the mentioned boundary isn’t necessary to commence a pullback, nevertheless once buyers push higher they may run into a more noteworthy resistance nearby 13620 points which along with an upper limit could constitute a decent support for sellers. Do notice that RSI illustrates an overbought area as well.

4-hour (H4)
At this time frame one may notice that RSI is hovering around 70 points, a barrier which means possible overbought. Once the oscillator comes below this level, it would be the first bearish signal. Having said that, there would be still some place to yet another small bullish wave.
