Summary

The market has seen an effective 50% retrace of the wave from 2081/1812, having climbed across 9-10 days.

It would seem we could now see at least 2-3 days of chop before resuming higher into next week, when the 1970s look viable.

Broadly, things look on track... not least on the far more important bigger weekly/monthly cycles.
