Overview

Last close: €43.00 (24 July 2026, daily close). Cycle III is under way from the 30.235 low of March 2026; the first Intermediate wave topped at €45.20 on 16 July and an Intermediate (2) correction toward €39.5–€37.7 is the primary read (40%), with €30.235 the level that would void the whole bullish count.

Roadmap — primary scenario (A)

Step 0 · Base channel & trigger. Base channel = the Minor 2-4 baseline (32.66 on 24-Apr-2026 → 35.505 on 9-Jun-2026) with the upper parallel drawn through the Minor 3 top (41.70, 6-May-2026). Boundary values: 40.64 / 48.94 at 31-Aug, 42.49 / 50.79 at 30-Sep, 48.18 / 56.48 at 31-Dec. Trigger status: NOT firedchannel_breakout (2-bar confirmation) finds no confirmed close beyond the upper parallel, and the last close (€43.00) is below the €54.87 breakout shelf.

Step 1 · Retracement grid of the completed advance (Intermediate (1), 30.235 → 45.20): 0.236 = €41.67 (already tagged at the 41.34 low), 0.382 = €39.48, 0.500 = €37.72, 0.618 = €35.95.

Step 2 · Base projection — anchor low €30.235, breakout shelf €54.87 (range 24.635). Inactive: these enter the target menu only on a weekly close above €54.87.

Step 4 · Dated path with price-time boxes. The 39.48 level and the rising Minor 2-4 baseline coincide between 8 and 17 August 2026 (fib_line_confluence) — the highest-confidence location for the Intermediate (2) low.

Previous roadmap: none — no NOV.roadmap.json existed before this run, so there is nothing to grade. (The 9-Jul-2026 HTML report, which had Minor 5 of Intermediate (1) in progress and targeted the €43.2/€45.5 inverse-Wave-4 band, is superseded: that band was reached exactly, price topping at €45.20 on 16-Jul-2026.)

SMA(18) side note (descriptive only; never an input to the count, the gate, the scores or the forecast). Computed by sma18_signals on the weekly bundle — the daily bundle's moving-average column stops on 30-Jun-2026, the weekly series is complete to 20-Jul-2026: trend direction rising (SMA18 = 38.12); the lows of the last two weekly bars are not below SMA(18); the highs of the last two weekly bars are above SMA(18). The daily series through 30-Jun agreed (rising, SMA18 = 39.17).

Confidence rationale

validate_count.py returned valid: true for the primary tree — R1 (wave 2 not beyond the start of wave 1), R2 (wave 3 not the shortest) and R3 (wave 4 not beyond the end of wave 1) all pass, across 27 pattern-rule, 36 subdivision and 40 pivot-extreme checks, with an empty near_miss_caveats list. Six items were returned pass: null for analyst resolution: (i) four not_all_of_1_3_5_extended items — resolved, exactly one sub-wave is labelled extended in each impulse; (ii) pitfall_wave4_retrace_gt_50pct_w3 on Intermediate (1) — Minor 4 retraced 68.5% of Minor 3 and its 35.505 low cleared the Minor 1 end (35.39) by 0.115 pts, 1.27% of Minor 3: verified against the daily bars, a tight but genuine R3 pass, and the single most fragile joint in the count; (iii) the generic corrective child types in wave-2/wave-4 positions — accepted, the sub-degree detail of those corrections is below the resolution this report claims.

Scores: guideline_score 0.6818 (15.0 of 22.0 weighted points — the misses are the extended-fifth placement, wave 4 not being a flat/triangle, the channel-line target and the Fibonacci proportion of the extended fifth), fib_score 0.5357, indicator_score 1.00. Blended raw confidence 0.7248, calibrated to 0.70 by the extension_fragile cap (0.70): Minor 5 (9.695) exceeds Minor 3 (9.04), the rarer extension placement, which the skill explicitly down-weights. Weights used: guideline 0.50 / fib 0.25 / indicator 0.25.

Alternate count

Minor 3 of Intermediate (1) still extending (mandatory degree-reframe) — 32%. The degree-reframe of the 'Intermediate (1) complete' call: the advance is Minor 1 (30.235-41.70), Minor 2 (to 35.505, a textbook 0.540 retracement) and an extending Minor 3 from 35.505, with the 45.20-41.34 dip only Minute (ii). classify_pullback rates the current 0.258 retracement 'fourth_wave_like', which favours an ongoing impulse; against it, the 45.20 high carried falling volume (212,647 vs 1,067,575 at the 41.70 high) and an RSI bearish divergence (66.5 vs 71.3) - third-wave behaviour is absent, which is why indicator confluence collapses to 0.267 for this count. Targets 46.97 / 50.79 / 54.06; invalidated below 35.505.

Second alternate — 28%. Cycle II is not finished: the 30.235 → 45.20 advance is Primary Ⓧ2 inside a triple-zigzag Cycle II (its 0.362 retracement of Primary Ⓨ sits right at the 0.382 X-wave norm), with a final Primary Ⓩ still to come toward €30.24 and, in the extreme, the 0.854/0.886 retracements of Cycle I near €21/€18. Invalidated by a weekly close above €54.87.

impulse_w5_targets on the completed Intermediate (1) put the inverse-wave-4 band at €43.16 (1.236 × W4) and €45.53 (1.618 × W4) — the 45.20 top landed inside it, and 0.89 pts (10.7% of channel width) below the Minor 2-4 upper parallel at €46.09. Forward: Intermediate (3) = 1.0 × (1) → €46.97–€54.21 depending on the (2) low; 1.618 × (1) → €60.42 (from 36.21), €61.93 (from 37.72), €63.45 (from 39.24).

All five layers agree on structure — the disagreement is only about degree. Monthly and weekly are unambiguously in a new upward Cycle-degree sequence (weekly RSI 55.7, UO 67.0, price above the weekly SMA(18) and rising). Daily and below are in a counter-trend phase, which is exactly what an Intermediate (2) looks like. There is no ⚠ cross-timeframe conflict: the hourly bounce nests inside the daily correction, and the daily correction nests inside the weekly advance. The one place to watch is the hourly: a sustained move above €45.20 would mean the daily "correction" was only a Minute (ii), and the count shifts to Scenario B without changing the bullish medium-term conclusion.
