Yesterday’s analysis expected upwards movement which is exactly what happened.

The wave counts remain the same.

Main Wave Count.

This wave count agrees with MACD and has some nice Fibonacci ratios in price and Fibonacci relationships in time.

Minor wave 3 is 15.1 points longer than 2.618 the length of minor wave 1.

Ratios within minor wave 3 are: there is no Fibonacci ratio between minute waves iii and i, and minute wave v is 5.44 points longer than equality with minute wave iii.

At 1,740 intermediate wave (C) would reach equality with intermediate wave (A). At 1,739 minor wave 5 would reach 0.618 the length of minor wave 3.

Within minor wave 5 minute wave ii may not move beyond the start of minute wave i. This wave count is invalidated with movement below 1,560.33.

Minor wave 1 lasted a Fibonacci 21 days, minor wave 2 lasted a Fibonacci 8 days, minor wave 3 has no Fibonacci duration at 98 days, and minor wave 4 lasted 22 days, just one day longer than a Fibonacci 21.

Minor wave 5 may not exhibit a Fibonacci time relationship. The next possibility may be the 29th of October (give or take two days either side of this date) where minor wave 5 would have lasted a Fibonacci 89 days.

Keep drawing the wider parallel channels from the monthly chart and copy them over to the daily chart.

Upwards movement has coincided with an increase in upwards momentum as expected. The middle of this third wave is almost over.

At 1,690 micro wave 5 within subminuette wave iii would reach equality with micro wave 1. Because there is no Fibonacci ratio between micro waves 1 and 3 we should expect a Fibonacci ratio for micro wave 5 and either of 1 or 3, and equality with 1 is the most common relationship so this target has a good probability.

At 1,694 subminuette wave iii would reach 1.618 the length of subminuette wave i.

I favour the lower end of this 4 point target zone because it is calculated at a lower wave degree.

Subminuette wave ii was a relatively shallow 43% zigzag correction. Subminuette wave iv may be a relatively deeper flat, combination or triangle. It should be over within a few hours, or may last an entire session but this is less likely.

Subminuette wave iv may not move into subminuette wave i price territory. This wave count is invalidated with movement below 1,664.83.

At 1,695 minuette wave (iii) would reach 1.618 the length of minuette wave (i).

At 1,720 minute wave iii would reach 0.618 the length of minute wave i.

Alternate Wave Count.

While price remains below 1,709.67 it will remain possible that we have recently seen a trend change at cycle degree. However, we should always assume the trend remains the same until proven otherwise.

This is a huge trend change. The new downwards trend should last from one to several years and take price substantially below 666.76. We need some confirmation before having confidence in this wave count.

We should assume the trend is upwards until this wave count is confirmed with movement below 1,560.33, and then with a breach of the black parallel channel on the daily chart.

This wave count is the same as the main wave count, except the degree of labeling in the final upwards wave of minor wave 5 is moved up one degree.

I have adjusted the wave count within minute wave ii to fit with subdivisions on the main wave count. This has a much better fit.

Minute wave ii may be an incomplete flat correction. However, technically this is a regular flat because minuette wave (b) is less than 105% the length of minuette wave (a). Regular flats normally have C waves which are close to equality with A waves, and normally sit nicely in parallel channels. They move sideways. This correction, if that is what it is, is clearly not behaving like a regular flat correction.

Minuette wave (c) would be incomplete. If this wave count is correct it may come to a speedy conclusion.

The next movement for this alternate would be a strong third wave downwards.

Minute wave ii may not move beyond the start of minute wave i. This wave count is invalidated with movement above 1,709.67.
