: One More Run Into The Hot Sun

I know the powerful long-term narrative, but don't forget the deteriorating near-term fundamentals. And yet, "if $80 then $100" on SpaceMob force alone & an options market that could still fuel one last explosive upside move this year."

> **Visual Note:** A TradingView weekly candlestick chart of AST SpaceMobile ($ASTS) showing price action breaking below the 50-week moving average (~$78) in July 2026, with Elliott Wave labels marking a potential wave 3 top near $130 and a declining ABC correction toward $55, alongside Fibonacci extensions projecting upside targets at $225 (1.618) and $258 (1.618) and 0.382/0.5 retracement levels near $160-$166. The chart visually supports the post's thesis that the 50 WMA at $78 was lost during the $SPCX-driven sector selloff and now acts as resistance, with current price near $55 representing a buying opportunity before reclaiming the moving average.

The 50 WMA was a support level for 2 years before it was lost in July due to 
$SPCX
 sell off impacting the sector

When this MA at $78 is flipped back to support, I expect it to continue doing its job again
$ASTS
 under $78 is BUY

Buying at $55 was finding Gold."
