4 · Current Position in the Cycle

Confidence rationale: the count passes the absolute gate at Primary degree (R1/R2/R3 all true; ② low 4910.42 > ① start 3588.10; ③ +2710.48 the longest Primary leg; ④ low 7265.93 > ① top 6147.43). Weighted guideline score 0.882, Fibonacci 0.74, indicator 0.78 → calibrated confidence 0.821, no caps. The current pullback classifies fourth-wave-like (13.1% of ③), which favours the ongoing-impulse reading. No near-miss caveats.
Alternate count (26%): the 7620.90 print completed Primary ③ (or all of Cycle V) and a larger Primary ④ / Cycle-degree correction is underway toward the 6,980–6,350 zone (0.236–0.382 of ③). Invalidated on a daily close above 7620.90. A close below 7265.93 weakens Primary ⑤; below 6343.72 voids the impulse read.

Alignment narrative: all provided timeframes point the same way — a rising weekly/daily impulse with the intraday layers carving Minor 3 of Primary ⑤. Intraday momentum is consolidating just under the 7575.86 Minor-1 high; a clean break there, then above the 7620.90 ATH, unifies the layers into a fresh Primary-⑤ leg. Only a daily close back below 7265.93 would break the bullish alignment.
