August 24th's action clearly indicated a "selling climax", but probably not "the" selling climax. A potential October low could occur either with a successful retest of the recent low (the next decline does not go lower than the August low), or with a decline that reaches a slightly lower low before the next up-leg. Both of these have occurred in the past (the 2011 low was of the latter variety).

Either way, we expect that the next up-leg (Leg 5) will eventually unfold, since both the cyclical, secular and sentiment trends point upward.
