Wave Count(s):
- The primary (white/green) count is that minor 1 of major [3]-P3-C3 is headed for the all-time high above 4819. Within minor 1, minute (1) completed at 4391. The minute (2) completed as an expanded flat wave at 4344. Wave minute (3) completed at 4478, just below the (3)=1.61(1) extension at 4808. The minute (4) wave is playing out as a flat wave and has reached 4688, just above the 23% Fibonacci target at 4678. Assuming minute (4) completes at 4678, the wave (5)=(1) target is at 4965 to complete the minor 1 wave. Note: The primary (white/green) wave count is valid above 4698.
- The alternate (blue) count would see the minute (4) reaching its 38% Fibonacci target at 4613. Note: This minute (4) wave should hold above 4607 critical support.
