BULLISH WAVE COUNT
WEEKLY CHART
Primary wave 2 within cycle wave V is labelled complete at the October 22nd low.
Price overall increases for primary wave 3.
Primary wave 3 has a target calculated at 19,588, the 1.618 Fibonacci ratio of primary wave 1.
Within primary wave 3, any corrective movement cannot move below 12,543.86.
DAILY CHART
Price declined recently for minute wave iv within minor wave 1.
Price is now expected to increase for minute wave v and the end of minor wave 1.
Minute wave v has a target calculated at 14,443, where it would reach equality in length with minute wave i.
A best fit channel is drawn around minor wave 1. If minute wave v increases past its target, then it may find resistance at the upper edge of this channel. Additionally, a break below this channel would give an early indication that minor wave 1 may be complete and minor wave 2 may have begun.
When minor wave 2 arrives, it cannot move below the start of minor wave 1 at 12,543.86.
WEEKLY ALTERNATE CHART
This alternate sees primary wave 2 continuing lower. It currently subdivides as a regular flat.
Intermediate wave (B) is labelled complete at the November 22nd high. Price is now expected to decline for intermediate wave (C).
Intermediate wave (B) may continue higher, however, if primary wave 2 continues as an expanded flat. Currently, intermediate wave (B) retraces 94% of intermediate wave (A) (just above the minimum retracement of 90% for a flat), though it may continue up to twice the length of intermediate wave (A).
Intermediate wave (C) has a target calculated at 11,959, the 1.618 Fibonacci ratio of intermediate wave (A). If this target is reached and price continues to decline, then the second target (for primary wave 2) will be used. At 11,756.02 primary wave 2 would reach the 0.618 Fibonacci ratio of primary wave 1.
Primary wave 2 is expected to pull price lower. A target is calculated at 11,756.02, the 0.618 Fibonacci ratio of primary wave 1.
Primary wave 2 cannot move below the start of primary wave 1 at 10,092.94.
DAILY ALTERNATE CHART
Intermediate wave (B) subdivides well as a complete expanded flat.
If price continues to increase, then this structure may have to be relabelled.
Price is now expected to decline for intermediate wave (C) and the end of primary wave 2.
