In my original Weekend Update I stated...
"Deciphering overlapping moves is a complicated exercise. Truth be told sometimes these patterns do not reveal their correct identity till there almost complete. As of right now I'm still expecting this bottom to complete in a 3 wave move. This "a" wave is a little long and had a micro ending diagonal to complete. I like to count waves in as simple a fashion as possible. However sometimes it's no so easy."
I was struggling to understand why we're continuing to extend downward when I said this "a" wave is a little long. By re-examining the chart, it appears not only was I off by one degree, under my revised count, unless wave 4 and 1 overlap it cannot be an ending diagonal. This "a" wave I was struggling with is a "III" to complete wave 3. This means that we will need a wave 4 and 5 to complete this pattern. Wave 4 would need to reach $98 to overlap with wave 1. This is not out of the question but I would consider this an alternative count.
The simplest way to count this wave is as an impulsive wave within a larger A,B,C within an even larger wave 4. That means we need a wave 5 next. I am no longer looking for $170 on Solana. If in fact this does not become a prolonged ABC within this wave 4, wave 5 should reconcile at the next most probable Fibonacci level within the initial impulse which is the 2.618% level at $423. (see this chart under the post VERSION 3)
I will follow up this morning update with a long-term chart to show how this would reconcile all 5 waves.
Originally I was counting this corrective decline from the ATH of $259.995 as a larger A wave. My call to $170 would be a "B" wave and the ensuing "C" to complete wave 4 would reconcile in the $50-$70 range. It appears this may be all of wave 4 and we may be headed to that range now. I have 2 alternative pathways listed in the above chart. Purple is secondary and orange is the least probable but all possibilities.
I apologize to my followers for the mistake. Headed to $50-$70 range is a hard pill to swallow, and after spending a great deal of time looking at charts, and anguishing over being incorrect in my analysis I had to inform the traders who put their trust in me. As a holder of Solana it's hard to hold an investment that was just at $143 down to $50-60...but such is nature of speculation and being wrong in one's analysis.
It's not the first, nor will it be the last time I'm wrong.
Best to All,
Chris
