If no breach of the Swing High of 47,926, then back down again.
Here's the sequence of the three swings of the Popgun pattern that move like a See-Saw: Up-Down-Up. After this bull run is over, we'll see a pivot for the bears to go Down. And, when the bear run is over, a pivot for the last swing by the bulls to go back Up again.

I don't know until the new hour what the first swing of the three swings will be.

We're going to get an interest rate decision that will initially move the markets. A secondary, after-effect move can potentially happen as many markets globally assimilate the decision, then react to it. So, be careful.
Also, if the bears show up to do a lower wick fill and create a candle close past the low of the previous bearish candle at 47,697, then the intent is to drop down more.
