Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) recently achieved an all-time high within an impulsive sequence that remains incomplete. The rally from the April 2025 low has thus far unfolded in only three waves. This implies that further upside potential is likely. In the near term, the cycle originating from the October 11 low continues to progress in the form of a diagonal structure.
From the October 11 pivot, wave 1 concluded at $242.88, followed by a corrective wave 2 that ended at $224.85, as illustrated in the accompanying 30-minute chart. The stock subsequently advanced in wave 3, which subdivided into a clear impulsive pattern. Within this leg, wave ((i)) peaked at $232.30, and wave ((ii)) retraced to $227.25. Wave ((iii)) extended to $264.58, followed by a modest pullback in wave ((iv)) to $257. The final thrust in wave ((v)) reached $272, thereby completing wave 3 of a higher degree.
Wave 4 unfolded as a double three Elliott Wave structure. From the wave 3 peak, wave ((w)) declined to $252.31, wave ((x)) rebounded to $262.13, and wave ((y)) completed the correction at $235.50. Provided the $224.85 pivot remains intact, the stock is expected to resume its ascent in wave 5. The projected target for wave 5 lies between $280.50 and $294.40, corresponding to the 123.6%–161.8% inverse retracement of wave 4.
