QuantumScape Elliottwave View:
Medium term term view from the IPO via a SPAC in the fall of 2020. This stock took a couple months before the momentum kicked in. After ((2)) set Oct 30, 2020, things really started to heat up. Wave ((3)) peaked at 87.50, rallying from ((2)) low at 11.20. After ((3)) peaked, a sharp ((4)) took place which didn’t last long before the surge in ((5)) took place. In the end, ((5)) of Red I peaked at 132.73 on December 22/2020 and the stock has been correcting ever since that time.
The current view is that the structure needs another couple swings lower to complete the sequence from the peak. There is no equal leg extreme since the 100% area would go into the negative. The best tools to use now is watching for momentum to erase the pivots and set a new extreme at the Red II low.
In Conclusion, as long as ((B)) high remains intact, prices can grind lower before resuming the upside.
