AXP weekly chart January 2025
The rally continued as expected hitting the target of 264.28 – 277.31 area. The market has extended the wave ((5)) and the structure looks incomplete. With this extension, we adjusted a little bit the count. Also, we can see how wave 4s pulled back to the typical level of 23.6% Fib retracement of a wave 3. Wave ((4)) retraced to 220.24 and wave (4) to around 287. Currently, AXP is trading in wave (5) and it could reach to 320.00 before starting wave IV correction. We cannot deny more extensions, inclusive we are using a conservative view because AXP could be still trading in wave ((3)). For now, we are going to wait for a reaction lower from around 320.00 to retest 280.00 – 290.00 area and see how the market structure is developing.
