Our own calculation from the exchange’s daily candles, as of Oct 27, 2026. “All-time” applies since the start of this series, not to the whole market. Changes in percent; the TradingView chart shows prices. “Today” = change of the last trading day versus the previous day. Not investment advice.

Where is the price relative to the buy zone?

Still above the buy zone

  1. Still above
  2. Close
  3. In the buy zone
  4. Below

After a rise there is a buy zone; the price is still above it. “Near the buy zone” (from Watcher) shows how close it is.

Comparison: The rule treats the last rise as the possible start of an upward impulse (without checking its history and structure). The Elliott count reads it as the end of an upward correction (C).

Note: Structure ambiguous: leg B, C can also be read as three- or five-part.

Elliott count calculated automatically by fixed Elliott rules, not investment advice – display only, our buy zones do not use it. Provisional: The count can change with new candles.

How to draw it yourself
  1. Load the TradingView chart and choose the timeframe 4 hours (4-hour candles) – the buttons above the chart switch it as well.
  2. In the drawing toolbar on the left, choose the Fib Retracement tool (group with the horizontal lines).
  3. Click on the start of wave 1 (low of Sep 29, 2026 15:30) and drag to the high of Oct 13, 2026 15:30.
  4. The buy zone lies between the lines 0.618 and 0.786 (0 to −4.8%); line 1 is the start of wave 1 – if the price closes below it, the setup is void. The rule is only triggered by a candle close above the last swing high .
  5. Watcher Stop, Target 1 and Target 2 of this zone – and how to draw them – are available from Watcher.

On phones the drawing toolbar is hidden – drawing works better on a desktop.

Scenarios

Timeframe 4 hours · As of Oct 27, 2026 · from the Elliott count in the analysis chart

Weighting Main scenario (2 of 3 guidelines, medium) · no alternative

Weighting by guidelines met – not a probability.

Main scenario

medium · 2 of 3 guidelines

As long as the 4-hour close stays below the end of C, this applies: flat countermove upward in three waves (Flat, expanded), C complete – count points to falling prices.

Invalid if the 4-hour close is above the end of C (+17.8% from the top of the zone)

Alternative

If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.

The price is still above the buy zone (0 to −4.8% from its top) (61.8–78.6% of the wave 1 rise). Rule trigger: the daily low reaches the zone, then a swing high forms and a daily close is above it. Whether the price reaches the zone is open – if it rises above the wave 1 high first, the setup is void. All percentages: distance from the top of the buy zone.

In the TradingView chart: Draw the buy zone in the chart with the Fibonacci tool (instructions next to the wave chart) or as two horizontal lines (tool “Horizontal Line”). If the price closes below the start of wave 1 (−11.0%), the setup is void – without an entry of the rule.
