Electronic Arts: Heading Downward

We assume that EA’s recent high at $169.82 marked the completion of a prominent [B] wave in green. This top stands out because it represents a typical corrective pattern where a seemingly new uptrend is simulated. Unlike a standard B wave, an overshooting B wave can significantly exceed the prior peak – in EA’s case, the last major high of July 2018. We primarily locate the stock in an extended correction, whereby a magenta downward impulse should push the price below the support at $108.62. However, if EA breaks decisively above the $169.82 resistance in the near term, we will switch to our 33% likely alternative scenario and reckon with further rises.
