The monthly chart below shows the Fresnillo stock $FRES at LSE. From the November 2008 lows at 93, the stock price has developed a cycle higher in wave (I) of a super cycle degree. Fresnillo has printed a top on September 2011 at 2213. The cycle up is an impulse; it shows 5 subwaves of a cycle degree and a separation within the wave III.
From the 2011 highs at 2213, a correction lower has unfolded as a zigzag correction being a 5-3-5 structure. Red waves a and c are showing a regular umpulse, the connector in wave b is an expanded flat structure. The wave c has reached an equality with the wave a at the equal legs extension area towards 494.98-134.93. As a consequence, price shows a reaction higher from that zone. The strong advance confirms the end of the wave c of the blue wave (II). Also, the larger correction in wave (II) as a whole has highly probably ended. Therefore, while above 454.71, the price can extend higher within wave (III) towards 2213 and higher or should do a 3 waves bounce at least.
The weekly chart below shows in more detail the last leg lower in wave c of blue wave (II) and the sharp advance out of the equal legs extension area being 494.98-134.93. The push up from the March 2020 lows can be seen so far as a 3 waves move. However, wave (3) has already surpassed the 1.618 multiple extension of the wave (1). Therefore, after a pullback in wave (4), expect another leg higher in wave (5) to end the black wave ((1)).
Investors and traders can obtain a good opportunity to enter the rally in $FRES at a pullback. Medium-term, a correction lower in wave ((2)) should find support above the March lows at 454.71 in 3, 7 or 11 swings. Then, an extension higher in wave ((3)) to new highs should follow or $FRES should produce another leg higher at least. As an outlook, montly target for the wave (III) is 2572-3885. Break of the 2213 level would confirm that the wave (III) is underway.
