Wave Count(s):
- The primary (white/green) wave count is that major [4]-P3-C3 of SCV completed at 5391. The major [5] wave up is underway with a major [5]=[1] target at 6424. Wave minute (1) of minor 1 of major [5] reached 5556. Wave minute (2) retraced to the 88% Fib at 5410. The wave minute (3) target is at 5793, where (3)=1.62(1). Note: The primary (white/green) wave count is valid above the major [4] low at 5391.
- The alternate (blue) wave count is that major [4] is playing out as a minor A-B-C wave down to the 23% Fib of 5309. The minor A wave dropped to 5391. The minor B wave retraced to 5566, which was right above the 62% Fib at 5563. The minor C wave down is underway with a C=A target at 5288. Note: The alternate (blue) wave count remains valid below 5566.
- Note: A large major [4] triangle could form under either of those wave count scenarios, which will drag out in time before the major [5] wave up gets underway.
Have a great weekend!
