Chipotle (CMG): A Primary & an Alternate Count

SUMMARY

Since Chitpotle's (CMG) food contamination issues; the bane of any restaurant chain, and quarantined restaurant closures; its stock price has taken a walloping as shown in below chart. However, when viewing the trend, which should be any investor's friend, there is a broadening pattern that can be defined. CMG also put in a very beautiful five up sequence and its currently doing its requisite correction. As Elliott Waves states, news or events shall arrive to justify the need for the requisit correction...sure enough, the food contamination event arrived!

The primary analysis is shown below. There is a strong potential for a Jaws of Wealth opportunity and the blue arrow shows the attraction price can have towards the upper trendline.

However, the Alternate analysis of the scenario isn't convinced that the correction is done yet. The blue downward wedge is counting as an ABCDE and clearly, the E wave could provide a bull wick event. Now, the primary analysis would represent a price breakout at the wave D scenario; which does occur.

So, does it matter whether it's the primary or the alternate scenario? No, because the destination would be about the same.
