How to read the 4H chart
- 20D 20-day · 60.8 candles · 113% through · bottoming · trend up
- 10D 10-day · 30.4 candles · 82% through · down · trend up
- 5D 5-day · 18.5 candles · 49% through · topping · trend flat

Cycles in calendar time (L3 p197): 20-day ≈ 61 candles, 10-day ≈ 30 candles, 5-day ≈ 19 candles, 2.5-day ≈ 9 candles, 1.25-day ≈ 5 candles. Periods are measured from the phased troughs (L3 p251).
Phasing, longest wave first (L3 p204-237): markers under the candles show each trough, labelled with the longest wave it belongs to; "?" = a possible trough placed by the nominal model, not yet confirmed by an FLD break.
Status (L3 p174): 20D bottoming · 10D down · 5D topping · 2.5D bottoming · 1.25D down.
FLD lines (L2 p104-125): the mean price shifted forward half a period (10D, 5D). The part beyond the last candle is already known. Signals use the price-high/low FLD one candle further (P/2+1, L9 p934).
Buy: price crossed the 20-day FLD at $242.56. Objective $258.65 (6.6%), the move before the cross repeated past it (L3 p200-203). Stop $227.23, one tick past the latest low/high (L2 p126). The longer waves give a trend call of "up", so the objective should be overshot (L6 p628). Guide (L7 p681-693): on track, the objective has been reached.
Up-VTL of the 20-day wave (L2 p83-103): not broken yet.
Down-VTL of the 10-day wave (L2 p83-103): not broken yet.
Next 20-day low (L3 p254): due between 2026-10-23 00:00 and 2026-10-24 11:19 UTC.
Envelope (L3 p197): grey band around the centred 10-day average. Price now $268.81.
1D and 1W: not enough history yet to scan (200 1D candles, 104 weekly candles needed for a warmed-up trend filter). The chart is shown, but no patterns are looked for.
