Overview

Last close: €140.20 (24 July 2026). SAP's 17-month, −55% slide bottomed at €127.50 on 23 July 2026 at the end of a Minor expanding ending diagonal; the primary count (35%) reads that low as the end of the extended Intermediate (3) of an unfinished Primary Ⓐ and looks for an Intermediate (4) rebound to €161.97–183.29, invalidated above €210.20.

Roadmap — primary scenario (Intermediate (4) rebound inside an unfinished Primary Ⓐ)

Step 0 · Base channel & trigger — INACTIVE. The base channel is fitted to the June–July basing swings: lower line through 130.62 (22 Jun 2026) and 127.50 (23 Jul 2026), upper parallel through 145.10 (7 Jul 2026). channel_breakout returns None — the 24 July close of €140.20 sits below the channel's upper line (€143.39 that day, drifting to ≈€141.28 by 14 August). Trigger: two consecutive daily closes above the base-channel upper line and above the €145.10 Minor-4 shelf.

Step 2 · Base projection — CONDITIONAL / not active. base_projection(127.50, 173.24) → 1.382 = €190.71, 1.618 = €201.51, 2.0 = €218.98. active: false (last price €140.20 < the €173.24 trigger shelf). These levels enter the target menu only after a weekly close above €173.24 — they are not used as T1/T2/T3 above.

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

Dated legPrevious target / windowOutcomeGrade
(5)/Ⓐ down€116.00 – €127.50 · 2026-07-24 → 2026-08-31The decline terminated at exactly €127.50 — the zone's upper bound — on 2026-07-23, one session before the window opened. The single in-window session (2026-07-24) reversed +9.3% (low 130.86 → close 140.20); the deeper €116 objective was never approached.Partial hit — zone edge reached, deeper objective missed
Ⓑ up€164.00 – €187.00 · 2026-09-01 → 2026-12-15The rebound began on 2026-07-24, roughly six weeks ahead of the window. The price zone survives almost unchanged in the new roadmap (€161.97–183.29) but is now labelled Intermediate (4), not Primary Ⓑ.Pending — direction confirmed early, label re-degreed
Ⓒ down€100.00 – €120.00 · 2026-12-15 → 2027-06-30Retained in the new roadmap as Intermediate (5) with an earlier start (from 2026-11-15) and the same €100–121 zone.Pending
Trigger (close > €173.24)forecast to stay inactiveNo close above €173.24 occurred; the trigger is still inactive.Correct

Net grade: 1 partial hit, 2 pending, 0 invalidated. The previous roadmap's shape (final low, then a multi-month rebound into €164–187) is tracking; its price precision on leg 1 missed by 11.5 points and its labels have been re-degreed — the 127.50 low now reads as Intermediate (3), not (5)/Ⓐ, so a fourth and fifth Intermediate wave still lie ahead of Primary Ⓐ's completion.

SMA(18) side note (descriptive only — never an input to the count, the gate, the scores or the forecast): the daily SMA_18 column of the bundle is empty from 2026-07-01, so it was recomputed from the Close series (the missing 2026-07-01 close was filled with that bar's midpoint, €137.87). On that basis SMA(18) reads €137.44 and its general trend direction is flat; 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). The weekly SMA(18) (€144.64) is falling.

3 · Executive Summary

4 · Current Position in the Cycle

The active wave is Intermediate (4), a counter-trend rebound at Intermediate degree, up, from 23 July 2026 at €127.50. It nests inside Primary Ⓐ (down, in progress) inside Cycle IV (down, in progress) inside Supercycle (V).

Confidence rationale

validate_count.py returned valid: true for the emitted count: R1 (wave 2 never beyond the start of wave 1), R2 (wave 3 never the shortest) and R3 (wave 4 never beyond the end of wave 1) all pass, 31 pattern-rule checks, 31 subdivision checks and 29 pivot-extreme checks all clean, and no near-miss caveats. Six pattern items and six subdivision items were returned as pass: null for analyst judgment and are resolved below.

Deterministic scores (ew-scoring.md §8): guideline 0.628, Fibonacci 0.641, indicator 0.704, weights 0.5 / 0.25 / 0.25 → blended confidence 0.650. caps_applied is empty: the nesting_unverified flag (Cycle I and Primary ①/③/⑤ are asserted historical anchors, not decomposed) and the extension_fragile flag (Intermediate (1) carries an extended fifth of 49.50 pts against a third of 39.70 pts, and Cycle III likewise on an arithmetic scale) both hold, but the raw confidence of 0.650 already sits below their 0.75 / 0.70 ceilings, so neither cap bit.

Resolved judgment items. (i) Cycle III — wave 4 retraces 58% of wave 3: accepted; R3 passes with a wide margin (Primary ④ low €79.58 versus the Primary ① high €46.15) and the depth reflects the 2020–2022 post-COVID unwind. (ii) Intermediate (1) — wave 4 retraces 62% of wave 3: accepted; R3 passes, though only by 2.55 points (Minor 4 high €259.70 versus the Minor 1 low €262.25) — the tightest rule margin in the whole tree. (iii) Minor 5 — wave 4 retraces 95% of wave 3: accepted, and expected — deep fourth waves are precisely what makes an expanding diagonal expanding; the diagonal-specific rule (wave 4 not beyond the end of wave 2) passes at 173.24 versus 175.10. (iv) not_all_of_1_3_5_extended at Cycle III, Intermediate (1) and Intermediate (3): confirmed — exactly one extended leg is labelled in each. (v) Six generic corrective subdivision items (Cycle II, Cycle IV, Primary ②/④, the Intermediate (2) B leg, Intermediate (4)): accepted as unclassified three-wave correctives; they are legal in every position used and are described narratively rather than forced into a pattern the data does not yet settle.

Alternate count and invalidation

Alternate (33%) — Primary Ⓐ complete at €127.50, Primary Ⓑ rally. On this reading Intermediate (3) ended at €135.44 on 13 May 2026, Intermediate (4) was the sharp three-week zigzag to €173.24, and Intermediate (5) = 45.74 pts = 0.624 × Intermediate (1) — almost exactly the 0.618 equality expected of the non-extended legs — bottomed at €127.50. Inside it, Minor 5 (17.60 pts) equals Minor 1 (17.78 pts) to 1%, and Minor 4 retraces 0.380 of Minor 3. It is a beautiful fit and it fails on only two things: wave (4) is a zigzag like wave (2) (no alternation), and wave (5) stopped 0.271 of a channel width short of the 2-4 parallel (€115.77) instead of reaching it. Targets €164.32 / €187.09 / €205.50. Invalidated below €127.50.

Second alternate (32%) — bear continuation. The €127.50 low is only Minor 3 of Intermediate (5); the current bounce is Minor 4, capped by €155.46, and Minor 5 then breaks to €115–121. Its strongest argument is the complete absence of momentum divergence at the low. Invalidated above €155.46.

Premature-termination test. classify_pullback on Cycle IV's retracement of Cycle III (156.00 / 262.75 = 0.594) returns “ambiguous” — the skill's instruction in that band is to carry the completed-impulse count and the degree-reframe at comparable weight, which is exactly what the 35% / 33% split does.

Sub-wave structure

Completed: Intermediate (3) = Minor 1 (273.55→209.70) · 2 (→244.30, 0.542 retrace) · 3 (→159.60) · 4 (→178.94, 0.228 retrace) · 5 (→127.50, an expanding ending diagonal). The diagonal's Minute waves: i 178.94→161.28 · ii →175.10 (0.783 retrace, squarely in the 0.66–0.81 diagonal band) · iii →135.44 · iv →173.24 (0.953 retrace — the expanding signature) · v →127.50 (45.74 pts, longer than iii at 39.66 pts).

In progress: Minor A of Intermediate (4) — five up-hours from the 23 July 17:00 low into the 24 July 141.32 high. Nothing at Minor degree is confirmed yet; a Minute (ii) pullback into €133–136 before the next leg would be entirely normal and is not a count problem.

Current indicator readings

Data caveat. The recent daily bundle rows carry an empty UO column and empty SMA_18/50/100/200 columns from 2026-07-01 (and the 2026-07-01 Close is missing entirely). The daily indicator-confluence score therefore rests on Volume and RSI_14 only; the UO check is marked inapplicable rather than failed, and the daily moving averages quoted below are the last available values (30 June 2026). SMA(18) for the side note was recomputed from the Close series. The 1-hour and 30-minute files carry a full indicator set and are used for the momentum reading at the low.

Alignment narrative. Monthly and weekly remain unambiguously bearish — price is below every weekly moving average, weekly RSI is 38.1 and monthly RSI 34.9 — while daily, 1-hour and 30-minute have all turned up together off the 23 July low. That is the textbook configuration for a counter-trend advance: the higher-degree trend is down, the lower degrees are up, and the two are reconciled by labelling the advance Intermediate (4) rather than a new impulse. There is no cross-timeframe conflict to flag: every lower-degree count nests inside its parent, the 30-minute Minute count sits inside the 1-hour Minor A, which sits inside the daily Intermediate (4), which sits inside the weekly Primary Ⓐ.

The one caution the precision layer adds is timing: 30-minute RSI at 73.4 and 1-hour RSI at 69.3 after a single +9.3% session mean the rebound is already short-term stretched. A Minute (ii) pullback into €133–136.5 — comfortably above the €127.50 pivot — is the higher-probability entry than chasing €141.
