Price Scenarios & Targets

bullish

Bullish continuation: pullback holds above the $105.50–$106 zone (EMA20/near-term swing support), then resumes the impulse (Elliott: wave 3 extension already printed; current action is likely wave 4), targeting a retest of the prior high and a modest extension.

bearish

Deeper mean-reversion: failure to reclaim $116 and a breakdown below $105.50 triggers a larger wave-4 style correction toward the breakout base/clustered MAs (EMA50 + SMA50 area). (Fibs from ~$70 to ~$122: 38.2% ≈ mid-$90s; 50% ≈ mid-$90s/low-$90s zone), before attempting to stabilize.

Key Triggers

Confirmation & Invalidation

✓ Confirmation

2+ daily closes back above $116.00 would confirm upside continuation after the shakeout

✗ Invalidation

A daily close below $105.50 (around EMA20) would invalidate the current post-breakout support structure and raise odds of a deeper mean reversion

Position Entry & Exit Levels

⊕ Add

Start $100 – $106
Add $92.0 – $99.0
Heavy $84.0 – $92.0

Scale-in on a controlled pullback into prior breakout structure/EMA20 first; add at Fib-style mean reversion into the $90s (near EMA50/SMA50); heavy add only if it washes into the deeper base while still above major long-term MAs (EMA200/SMA200 ~high-$70s).

⊖ Derisk

Trim 1 $120 – $126
Trim 2 $126 – $135
Close $135 – $150

Trim into retests/expansions above the prior high where price becomes increasingly stretched vs EMA50/100; progressively de-risk on extensions typical of late-wave (wave 5) behavior in volatility-expansion regimes.
