FTNT Elliott Wave daily chart

The stock underwent a year-long correction with wave (IV) from December 2021 to November 2022, followed by a new impulsive rally with the potential for another move higher in wave ((5)) of I. The target area for this move higher is $71.2 – $74.6, after which a 3-wave pullback is expected to occur to correct the daily cycle.

As long as the structure remains corrective, the potential correction in wave II is anticipated to present a buying opportunity against the low of $42.71. A break above the 2021 peak and into new all-time highs would further strengthen the daily view and create a bullish sequence to support the upside within the weekly cycle.

In conclusion, the overall technical picture for FTNT remains supportive, and more upside is expected in the mid-term. Investors should be on the lookout for pullbacks as buying opportunities and we recommend waiting for corrective structures in 3, 7, or 11 swings in the coming months.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far.

The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.
