Elliott Wave Analysis & XAUUSD Trading Plan – May 26, 2025

93
📊 Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD – H1 Timeframe

On the H1 chart, drawing an Elliott channel reveals that price is currently within wave iii (orange), and developing wave 5 (green) within that structure.
Once wave 5 (green) completes, the market is expected to correct downwards into wave iv (orange) before resuming the uptrend to complete wave v (orange).

🔍 Detailed Breakdown of Wave 5 (Green): Two Scenarios in Play

Scenario 1 – Wave 5 (green) is NOT yet complete
Price is currently forming a small wave 4 (Flat) within wave 5 (green). A final push upward is expected to complete wave 5, with two potential targets:

🎯 Target 1: 3373
🎯 Target 2: 3397

Scenario 2 – Wave 5 (green) is already complete
This would confirm that wave iii (orange) has ended, and the market is entering wave iv (orange) — likely to take the form of a zigzag, flat, or triangle pattern.

🎯 Target zone 1: 3317
🎯 Target zone 2: 3290

📉 Momentum Analysis

• D1: Momentum is turning bearish. Await today's daily candle close for confirmation of a broader weekly downtrend.
• H4: Momentum has already reversed to the downside ⇒ expect sideways or bearish moves during the day.
• H1: Momentum is currently rising ⇒ a short-term bounce is possible. Watch for bearish reversal signals on H1 to validate SELL setups.
