Overview

Last close: $232.07 (24 July 2026, 15:30). Minor 2 of Intermediate (3) is still falling in its wave c — the 208–216 channel × Fibonacci zone is the buy area, 196.00 is the line that voids the whole bullish count, and every “the top is in” reframe fails R3 mechanically.

Probabilities are the normalised calibrated confidences of the three surviving counts (scenario_probabilities); they are honest estimates, not guarantees. Two further counts — “Primary ③ complete at 278.56, Primary ④ correcting” and “Cycle III complete at 278.56, Cycle IV correcting” — were built and rejected by the mechanical gate: both violate R3 at Cycle degree (wave 4 into wave 1 territory) by 14.5 % and 4.9 % of wave 3 respectively. Neither margin is a near-miss and neither degree is sub-Minor, so no near-miss caveat applies. No confidence caps were triggered (caps_applied: []).

Roadmap — primary scenario A

Step 0 · Base channel & trigger. The Primary ③ base channel is fitted to the two wave lows 161.38 (7 Apr 2025) and 196.00 (17 Feb 2026), with the upper parallel drawn through the 258.60 Intermediate (1) top. The 278.56 all-time high touched that upper line to within 0.1 % of channel width (channel_touch) — the channel is validated, and the 5 May top is a channel-boundary termination. Lower line: 213.20 on 24 Jul 2026, rising to 219.01 by mid-September and 230.73 by year-end. Upper line: 287.41 today, 304.94 at year-end.
Trigger status: NOT fired. channel_breakout over 2026 data returns None. A daily close above 258.08 signals Minor 2 complete and Minor 3 under way; a decisive close above the 278.56 ATH activates the base projection. Last close 232.07.

Step 1 · Retracement grid of the last completed advance (Minor 1, 196.00 → 278.56): 0.382 = 247.02 · 0.5 = 237.28 · 0.618 = 227.54 · 0.764 = 215.48 · 0.786 = 213.67 · 0.854 = 208.05 · 0.886 = 205.41. The 0.618 level has already been exceeded (low 225.55).

Step 2 · Base projection (anchor low 196.00 → anchor high 278.56, range 82.56) — CONDITIONAL, not active until price closes above 278.56: 1.382 = 310.10 · 1.618 = 329.58 · 2.0 = 361.12.

Grading of the previous roadmap (AMZN.roadmap.json, generated 2026-07-24, as-of 2026-07-23)

Only one further session (24 July 2026) has elapsed, so the grade is necessarily preliminary.

Structural premise (labels)Primary ③ complete at 278.56; Primary ④ correcting.That labelling now fails the mechanical gate: with the 225.55 low in place, Primary ④ sits 6.9 % below the end of Primary ① (242.52) — an R3 violation of 14.5 % of wave 3 at Cycle degree.Invalidated — count revised

Net: the previous roadmap’s price path is on track (down into the low-230s/high-210s through Q3), but its degree labelling has been invalidated by the gate and is replaced by the Minor 2-of-Intermediate-(3) reading. The revised downside zone (208–216) sits just below the old 215–232 box.

SMA(18) side note (daily; descriptive only — never an input to the count, the gate, the scores, the forecast or the probabilities): general trend per SMA(18) is rising (SMA(18) = 244.66); the lows of the last two daily bars are below SMA(18); the highs of the last two daily bars are not above SMA(18).

Confidence rationale

validate_count.py returned valid: true — R1 (wave 2 not beyond the start of wave 1), R2 (wave 3 never the shortest) and R3 (wave 4 not beyond the end of wave 1) all pass at every labelled impulse, across 20 pattern-rule, 32 subdivision and 27 pivot-extreme checks. Three items were left to analyst judgment, all the same rule — “never are waves 1, 3 and 5 all extended” at Intermediate (1), Minor 1 and Minute a: in each case identify_extension returns extended_wave “3” with fragile: false, so only one sub-wave is extended and the rule is satisfied. near_miss_caveats is empty.

Scores: guideline_score 0.8267 (the two misses are alternation — waves 2 and 4 are both zigzag-family at Intermediate (1), Minor 1 and Minute a, costing the weight-3 “almost always” and the weight-2 “wave 4 is usually a flat/triangle” items), fib_score 0.6600 over 18 measured relationships, indicator_score 0.3947 over the two labelled motive impulses. Blended at 0.5/0.25/0.25 → confidence 0.6770, with no calibration caps: every Intermediate-and-higher impulse in the active count is decomposed and its pivots verified, the extension sits in wave 3 everywhere (no fragile fifth), and the premature-termination reframes were built and gated rather than assumed away.

Alternate count & invalidation

Alternate (32 %): Minor 2 already completed at 225.55 on 25 June 2026 as a zigzag (a 278.56 → 233.59, b → 249.51, c → 225.55) and Minor 3 is already running: Minute (i) 225.55 → 258.08, Minute (ii) the present decline (0.822 retraced). Upside then resumes directly toward 258.08 / 278.56 / 308.11. Invalidated below 225.55. It scores lower mainly on the zigzag proportions — wave c would be only 0.53 × wave a and wave b would retrace just 0.354 of wave a, both outside the usual ranges — and because the 225.55 low sits 0.21 of channel width above the Primary ③ base line rather than on it.

Hard invalidation of the primary count: 196.00. A daily close below it voids Intermediate (3), because Minor 2 may not move beyond the start of Minor 1. Below 161.38 the whole of Primary ③ is void.

Invalidation196.00 (Minor 2 may not move beyond the start of Minor 1)

Wave b sub-count: the Minuette a-b-c inside Minute b is deliberately left unlabelled — the 29 June daily bar prints its low (233.80) before its high (249.71), and the supplied 1-hour file disagrees with the daily bar on that session (hourly high 252.52 vs daily 249.71), so the sequence is not resolvable from the data.

Data handling: the final daily bar (2026-07-24) arrived with an empty Close and empty UO/SMA fields. It was repaired, not dropped — Close set to the true last print from the 1-hour file (232.07 at 15:30) and the SMA_18/50/100/200 recomputed; the bar’s own Open/High/Low (234.37 / 234.95 / 231.35) were already complete and are used for the 231.35 pivot. UO is left blank for that bar. Separately, the 1-hour file carries a bad tick (a 223.68 low at 2026-07-23 11:30) that the daily bar’s 232.05 low contradicts; the daily lows are treated as authoritative.

Current indicator readings

Daily (24 Jul, repaired bar): Close 232.07, Volume 34.99 M, RSI_14 38.6, UO n/a (43 on 23 Jul). Price is below SMA_50 (249.22), SMA_100 (241.40) and just below SMA_200 (234.59) — the first daily close under the 200-day since February. 1-Hour: RSI_14 31.4, UO 42.1, price below the hourly SMA_50 (244.59) and SMA_200 (242.41). 30-Minute: RSI_14 34.7, UO 39.8. Weekly: RSI_14 46.7, UO 40.1, price still far above the weekly SMA_200 (178.56). Momentum is falling and not yet diverging — consistent with an unfinished third-of-c rather than a completed correction.

Alignment narrative

The two higher layers (monthly, weekly) are unambiguously bullish and aligned; the three lower layers are aligned against them. That is the textbook signature of a correction inside a larger uptrend, not a trend change — and the conflict is resolved in favour of the higher degree, because every attempt to promote the decline to a completed higher-degree structure fails the mechanical gate on R3. The practical reading: the intraday layers say “not yet”, the weekly layer says “still up”. Wait for the lower-degree evidence (a completed five-wave Minuette decline plus momentum divergence in the 208–216 zone, or a daily close back above 258.08) before treating the correction as finished. The 1-hour count nests correctly inside the daily Minor 2 — no ⚠ cross-timeframe conflict is flagged.
