Wave Count(s):
- The primary (white/green) count is that major [1]-P3-C3 peaked at 4607 in late July and this -10% correction (thus far) is the major [2] wave targeting the 50% Fibonacci retracement at 4049. Today’s low at 4128 could have end major [2] or there will be a small bounce and one more lower low at 4049. Note: The primary (white/green) wave count is valid above the Oct 2022, C2 low at 3492.
- The alternate (blue) count is that major [2]-P3-C3 will play you to a deeper 62% Fibonacci retracement at 3916. Note: The alternate (blue) count is valid above the Oct 2022, C2 low at 3492.
