It breached the 3775 previous record high to another record high at 11722 in April 2024 to finish the wave (3) of ((3)) of III.

The H4 chart shows that the price has finished a 5-wave rally for wave 1 of (5). The pullback from December is now for wave 2. If the price reclaims the wave 1 high, then wave 3 will progress toward 20,000. However, wave 2 can complete a double zigzag to 8742-6795 before returning upside in wave 3.
