Fortinet Inc (NASDAQ: FTNT) the global leader in cybersecurity is facing some turbulence as it will likely miss Wall Street’s estimate of $5.4 billion for the year.

The above chart is a representation for the entire Monthly cycle for FTNT. We can see how an impulsive 5 waves rally off the lows ended wave (I). Since the July 2023 peak, the stock started a larger degree correction of the entire cycle and it’s looking to unfold as an (abc) Zigzag structure within wave (II). The pullback is still in progress in wave “c” and it’s looking for the equal legs area $40.49 - $24.93. Once it reaches that area, the stock will be looking to turn higher from there to resume the bullish trend.
Here is the basic Elliott Wave Theory Pattern
