CSX is advancing within Minor Wave 3 of Primary Wave (1), originating from the April lows. The wave structure is impulsive, and a near-term high in wave {iii} is expected, followed by a corrective dip in wave {iv}. This pullback may test the $30 region, offering a potential re-entry zone aligned with the overall bullish trend.

The intraday view shows a completed five-wave move into $33 at the top of MG1, marking a possible top in wave (v) of {iii}. The chart now favors a pullback phase in wave {iv}, targeting support near $30, in line with Fibonacci retracement levels.
