Overview

Last close: $68.89 (23 July 2026). Primary count: Cycle wave III is underway — Primary ① topped at the 134.12 all-time high, Primary ② is a zigzag now correcting into the 50–61 confluence zone (a bullish RSI divergence is already forming near 65), and Primary ③ up toward 163–210 should follow. The bearish reframe (the top is in at 134.12) stays live below 48.50.

Roadmap — primary scenario

Base channel & trigger: not yet active. The bull continuation trigger is a daily close above the prior major high 134.12 together with an escape of the 2025–26 down-channel; price (68.89) is far below, so the base projection is conditional.

Base projection (conditional — anchor low ≈ 58, breakout shelf 134.12): 1.382 → 163.2, 1.618 → 181.2, 2.0 → 210.2. These enter the Primary ③ target menu only once the trigger fires.

3 · Executive Summary

4 · Current Position in the Cycle

Current wave: Primary ② (Primary degree), direction down, in progress, a corrective zigzag that began at the 134.12 all-time high on 30 Jun 2025. It nests inside Cycle wave III (up, in progress from the 2022 low of 16.27), which in turn sits within the post-2002 Supercycle advance. The active sub-wave is Minute wave 5 of Intermediate (C), probing the 65 area.

Intermediate(C)in progressDown108.95 (Apr 2026) → 65.08
Minute5in progress (current)Down78.44 (Jul 2) → 65.08

Confidence rationale. The count passes the mechanical gate (validate_count.py: valid = true; R1/R2/R3 all pass; all 17 pivot-extreme checks OK; no near-misses). Guideline score 0.82, blended/calibrated confidence 0.58. The indicator score is low (0.16) because the 134.12 top carried no bearish divergence and the Intermediate (1) pivot printed an earnings-spike volume — mechanically weak for a "completing impulse," but consistent with a wave-one (not terminal) top.

Alternate count (28%). The 16.27→134.12 advance completed a Cycle-degree fifth, making 134.12 a major multi-year top; the decline is then a Cycle correction toward the 34–48 shelf and potentially lower. Invalidated above 134.12. Favoured on a decisive impulsive break below 48.50.

Sub-wave structure & Fibonacci

Primary ① is a textbook extended-third impulse: (1) 32.23 pts, (3) 71.98 pts (extended), (5) 52.01 pts — and (5)/(1) = 1.61, a clean Fibonacci equality-substitute (fib sub-score 0.97). Primary ② is a zigzag: wave (B) retraced 57.4% of (A) (a normal zigzag B), and wave (C) has travelled 0.74× (A) so far, heading for the C=A objective at 49.84. The 58.6% retrace of Primary ① classifies as ambiguous (between 0.5 and 0.618).

Alignment narrative. All layers agree on direction: a near-complete corrective decline nested inside a larger bull trend. The daily/weekly bias is a completing Primary ②; the intraday layers show Minute 5 of wave (C) with a bullish momentum divergence — i.e. an intraday correction that is close to exhausting. This is the classic "wait-for-confirmation long" set-up: bearish until Primary ② confirms its low, then aligned bullish for Primary ③.
