Overview

Last close: €19,104.3 (8 July 2026). Primary count: Cycle III up from 2020, in Primary ③'s Intermediate (5) — a Minor-4 dip is retracing ~33% of Minor 3, with a final Minor-5 high (~20,000) still expected before a Primary ④ correction. Bull invalidates on a daily close below 17,308; the bear "top-is-in" alternate voids above the 19,879 all-time high.

3 · Executive Summary

4 · Current Position in the Cycle

The market is in Intermediate wave (5) of Primary ③ of Cycle III — an uptrend. Within (5), Minor waves 1-2-3 are complete and a Minor 4 corrective dip is in progress from the 19,879 high (3 July 2026), reading 19,104 at the last close (intraday low 19,039).

Confidence rationale. The count passes the absolute gate at Primary/Intermediate degree: R1 (I2 8,879 > I1 start 7,242), R2 (I3 +9,694 is the longest, not shortest), R3 (I4 low 16,247 >> I1 end 9,742), all subdivision assignments legal, and every labeled leg verified to its terminal extreme (pivot_checks all ok). Guideline score 0.85, blended/calibrated confidence 0.78, no confidence caps applied. No sub-Minor near-miss caveats.
Alternate count. Bearish — Intermediate (5) and Primary ③ completed at the 19,879 high, and a Primary ④ correction is now underway toward 17,300 / 16,250 (probability 31%). Invalidated above 19,879 (a new ATH reinstates the bull).

5 · Current Wave Analysis

Intermediate (5) sub-structure: Minor 1 (16,247→18,508), Minor 2 (18,508→17,308, 0.53 retrace), Minor 3 (17,308→19,879, the vertical June leg), and Minor 4 in progress (19,879→19,039 so far). The Wave-5 equality target (W5≈W1 = 18,747) was met and exceeded; the advance is now working the inverse-Wave-4 band (1.236–1.618×|W4| = 19,123 / 20,011).

Weekly and daily are aligned bullish; the 1-hour and 30-minute show the counter-trend Minor-4 decline — an intraday correction inside a higher-degree uptrend. Resolution: treat intraday weakness as a buying opportunity toward the 18,900–19,270 support band while 17,308 holds; a daily close under 18,508 would tilt weight toward the bear alternate.
