Overview

Last close: €6,204.91 (8 July 2026). Primary ③ completed an extended-third impulse at the 6,431 all-time high (6 Jul); a Primary ④ pullback is now underway (bias short-term corrective, medium-term bullish) with Primary ⑤ to new highs to follow — bearish top-is-in alternate voids above 6,431.

SMA(18) side note (daily, descriptive only): the SMA(18) trend is rising (6,280.6); the last two daily bars' lows are not both below SMA(18); the last two daily bars' highs are both above SMA(18). Purely descriptive — it does not affect the count or probabilities.

3 · Executive Summary

4 · Current Position in the Cycle

The market is in Primary ④ (Intermediate/Primary-degree correction, direction down), which began at the all-time high 6,431.42 on 2026-07-06; last reading 6,204.91 (2026-07-08). This nests inside the still-unfolding Cycle III (from the Mar-2020 low 2,302.84), itself Wave (V) of a Supercycle anchored at the Mar-2009 low.

Confidence rationale: the gate passes on every applicable rule (R1: ② low 3,249.57 > ① start 2,302.84; R2: ③ 3,182 pts is not the shortest; R3: ④ stays far above ① top 4,415), all Intermediate sub-waves of Primary ③ were read and verified from the data (subdivision_verified), and the extension sits in the usual place (Wave 3, not fragile). Calibrated confidence 0.66 (guideline 0.667, fib 0.70, indicator 0.60; no caps applied). No sub-Minor near-miss caveats. The chief soft weakness is weak Wave 2↔4 alternation — both corrections are sharp zigzags of similar (≈38–40%) depth.
Alternate count (25%): the five waves from 3,249.57 form a complete Primary/Cycle impulse, making 6,431 the top of the whole advance and starting a larger A-B-C correction toward 5,400/4,950. Invalidated above 6,431.42 (a new ATH). This is the mandatory degree-reframe; it stays the alternate because the current decline retraces only ~23% of Wave (5) — fourth-wave-like, favoring an ongoing impulse.

5 · Current Wave Analysis

Primary ③ subdivided into a clean five at Intermediate degree with the extension in Wave (3): (1)=+1,242, (3)=+2,207 (longest), (5)=+1,055 ≈ Wave (1) (equality of the non-extended legs). Wave (5) topped at 6,431.42 (6 Jul) and price has since turned down — the opening of Primary ④.

All layers agree: a macro uptrend (Cycle III) with a young counter-trend correction (Primary ④) rippling down through the intraday layers. The daily/weekly bull is intact while price holds above 5,377; a sustained break under 4,415 would be needed to void the bull. Intraday weakness is a corrective opportunity, not a trend change.
