Clean impulse on $CRCT - Wave 3 to follow
It had a clean impulse on the daily chart. Now with 61% retracement done, it would be a good idea to consider Wave 3.
Momentum Indicators are bullish on the weekly chart and it has taken a support from 40-week EMA. The candlestick is a hammer pattern as well.
Classic example of resistance turned into a support or in other words, breakout and a retest.
Morning Star Candlestick pattern on the daily chart which is a Bullish Reversal Pattern.
The setup has a Risk-Reward Ratio of more than 8 with the SL being recent low and profit level being the equality level by Elliot Wave method.
With parallel channeling, the approximate time for the trade can be expected around one month.

GOLD: ...next swing? we'll seeFrom a technical point of view, the swing is bullish on intraday chart, but at the same time, we cannot rule out a corrective structure in short term. If the market starts selling 1.934/1940 area, the first bearish leg should appear on hourly chart. Having said that, at the moment our setup is valid and we continue to follow it on daily chart:
The previously mentioned resistance area is also minimum target of our Hammer Pattern, and some traders might take some profit:
At the moment everything is still work in progress, but in the next few hours we may have some more details...

USD/CAD: Short Term "Buy the Dip" strategy!From a technical point of view,, the FX:USDCAD pair is bearish in short term, but at the same time, we think a corrective structure "must" be triggered. With this in mind, the strategy is simple: "Buy the Dip" on the intraday chart (1H time frame).
On chart I have shown some potential targets that could be reached, but to understand which of these to look at, we need to follow the swing that will form (3 or 5 waves), so it will be necessary to follow and update this analysis (levels) along the way.

NZDUSD: another bullish leg?From a technical point of view, another bullish leg is possible on intraday chart.
If this does not happen, it means that the structure in play is corrective (ABC Pattern).
Two potential Targets: The first is the return to the previous Top, the second around 0.6280 area. Stop with wave 1 failure.

GOLD: Short term rally continuation?To try to make sense of our analyses, let's go back to the last big picture we followed on hourly chart last week: the Harmonic .
💡 As we have shared in various updates, our bearish Target 2 could have triggered some reaction:
💡 We have also seen an interesting cluster on daily chart, with potential corrective structure completion:
💡 Another Potential Reversal Pattern we followed last week is a "Bullish Hammer":
📊 From a technical point of view, the upcoming Asian session could be our main driver in short term and the early opening hours could see the Bulls and the Bears play an important game. In conclusion, as long as these Patterns do not fail, an interesting bullish leg could appear in the short term. Harmonic Traders may also want to see their target around 38.2% Fib reached, but I hope we can go higher to confirm bullish impulse structure.

NASDAQ Elliott Wave Analysis Higher Timeframe (07/07/2023)The NASDAQ looks bullish and might be preparing for a Wave III to the upside. However, the minimum requirements for a Wave II to the downside were not fulfilled. As long as we do not take out the Wave I high, it could be that we still make a new low as a Wave II.
Nifty Elliottwave update 04/07/2023Hello everyone,
Here is our update on NIFTY in ELLIOTT WAVE perspective.
Nifty is about to complete 5th wave.

DXY In An Intraday Corrective RecoveryUSD Index turned down in October 2022 where we think that the dollar might have seen an important, multi-year top. Notice that the decline is strong and impulsive, meaning that there can be more weakness coming this year. However, because of the lower swing high, around 104, there is also a chance that this is a big triangle on a daily chart, but also bearish structure. So in either case, we think that DXY can be headed to 100 this year, which can come in play after A-B-C rally is done.
US Dollar - DXY is in new intraday recovery mode, which looks to be corrective as an A-B-C zig-zag pattern. Ideal resistance comes around 103.50 area, from where we should be aware of a bearish continuation.
Weekly Update: Tracking a Top in the SP500 FuturesIn mid-June the SPX Futures hit a high of 4493.75. Let’s examine the data points, the characteristics of the subsequent price action, and attempt to see if the SPX Futures Market topped at 4493.75.
Since futures bottomed in October of 2022 at 3502, price advanced for 8 months so far has appreciated by 28.3%. With market analysts, money and asset managers, and financial news reporters all weighing in on whether we’re in a new bull market or not, let’s see if there is more of a quantitative method to gain insight into the answer to that question. I will state unequivocally, that until price breaches 3502, there is nothing confirming that the market did NOT bottom in October. Comparatively, until price breaches 4808.25, the all-time highs of 2022, we’re not confirmed the longer term trend is bullish. Objectively, the truth is price is digesting previous gains off the Covid-19 lows of 2020. That is all we can say definitely. However, much like an investigator trying to solve a crime, there are clues that can point us in the direction of a reasonable conclusion. To the degree those probabilities favor one direction or the other, from there we can begin to devise a trading strategy.
Counter-Trend Price Action
Having topped at 4808.25 in January of 2022 price declined approximately 27% in 10 Months and bounced in from 3502. Since then, our recent high of 4493.75 came into the area of between the .618% and the .786% retracement level. Actually, closer to the .786% having exceeded the .618%. This length of price retracement more than fulfills a standard retracement for counter price action. However, this data point alone, does not confirm the counter trend rally has concluded and the previous trend down will resume. Additionally, the entire pattern off the October lows resembles the kind of corrective price action we would expect as it is very overlapping in nature. Only towards the end of the pattern did price become impulsive, and that is easily attributed to a c-wave. The counter trend price action by itself is not conclusive evidence that a top has been struck. However, it supports that case more so, than invalidates it.
MACD divergences
The interesting thing about the move off the October lows is MACD is the entire advance occurred on negative divergence. I’ve written about this before and this also supports the price action as corrective. This was not a strong rally in terms of what normally is associated with Bull Market advances.
In summary and based on the price action as of today, I would have to say that odds favor the SPX Futures topped mid-June. Although we have no definitive proof, like an impulsive pattern to track to the downside, that may soon enough reveal itself. Based on the odds favoring a top to the price action off the October bottom resembling a corrective retracement of a downside trend, I would expect for price to ultimately breach the October lows of 3502 and head closer towards the 3,000 level sometime in the first half of 2024.
Part [A] Basic of Wave PrincipleElliott Wave background
In the 1930s, R.N Elliott identified the price of the stock trends and reversed a specific pattern. This pattern is repetitive in form and, the patterns have predictive value. He decided to use this pattern (Elliott wave theory) to predict the market. The Elliott wave is not primarily a trading system. It is a detailed description of how the market acts. The Elliott wave is part of technical analysis. Also, the Wave principle is the reassembled form of dow theory.
-Elliott Wave Principle The key To Market Behavior]
Waves in the market?
We all know that price never moves in a straight line. It will neither fall in a straight line nor rise in a straight line.
Price will create highs and lows. And this high and low creates waves. Elliott wave theory is all about counting waves and, we are going to use the Elliott wave to trade the market.
Now, the concept of waves is acceptable for you.
Elliott wave theory is made of 5+3= 8 waves.
Let me show you that structure in both trends.
In bull market ( UP Trend ) :
Figure 1.1 This is the Elliott wave structure in an uptrend. As we discussed, Elliott's wave theory is made up of 5+3=8 waves. Where five waves move with the trend and three waves move against the trend.
In Bear market (downTrend)
Figure 1.2 This is an example of Elliott wave theory in the Bear market. We can see that five waves move with the trend and, three waves move against the trend.
Take a deep breath, I know you have lots of doubts in your mind. Let me solve some.
1. Elliott wave theory works in any time frame.
2. These 5+3=8 waves will give us a market edge. It will provide strong trends & trend reversals.
3. The accuracy of Elliott wave theory is 84% of you are using the wave principle correctly.
Practical Example of Elliott wave theory :
In the Bull market :
Figure 1.3 This is the TATA MOTORS 4 hour timeframe chart. I used bar charts because It is easy to recognize Elliott's waves in bar Patterns. Well, it works for me to recognize if you feel that you can recognize patterns in another chart, go ahead with bar charts!
In Bear Market:
Figure 1.4: This is the ITC daily time frame chart. It shows the beautiful Elliott wave structure in the Bear market.
Elliott wave structure :
Now, we all know that Elliott is made of a 5+3= 8 wave structure. So, Let's start getting into it!
To understand the wave principle, we have divided the wave structure (5+3=8) into two Phases which are an Impulse phase/structure & a corrective phase/structure.
Figure 1.5 This picture illustrates Two phases of the Elliott wave principle.
The impulse phase is made up of 5 waves and, the corrective phase is made up of 3 waves.
Figure 1.6: This picture divides the wave principle into two phases.
1. Impulse phase/structure ( which includes five waves and, which moves with the trend you can see in bull market impulse phase is going upward and in a bear market, impulse phase is going down which is directional move.)
&
2. Corrective Phase/structure ( which includes three waves and which moves against the trend, you can see that in bull market corrective phase is going downward and
In bear markets, the corrective phase is going upward, which is a counter-trend move.
Figure 1.7 , Elliott wave has 2 phases. motive/Impulse phase ( directional move ) and corrective phase(counter trend move). We can divide these 2 phases into two types of waves. Impulsive waves and corrective waves.
Let’s zoom in on the impulse phase to understand the underlying structure and wave behavior.
Motive/Impulse Phase :
Important things about the impulse phase
1). Motive/Impulse phase is a Five wave structure that includes wave1,2,3,4 & 5.
2). motive/Impulse phase is a directional move ( moves with the trend.)
3). The Ending point of the impulse phase is the starting point of the corrective phase.
4). motive/Impulse structure is powerful than corrective structure.
5) Impulse phase can divide into two types of waves
i) Impulse waves: 1, 3,5 ( move with Trend of impulse Phase )
ii) Corrective waves: 2,4 ( Moves against the trend of Impulsive Phase)
Let me give you a quick understanding because we are going to cover these waves in-depth,
Impulsive waves are trend-following moves. We can find this type of wave structure in both phases. Impulsive waves create trends. Impulsive waves are (1,3,5,A,C). Corrective waves are counter-Trend moves. We can find this type of wave structure in both phases. Corrective waves provide pause to continue the trend,
Corrective waves : (2,4,B)
Motive/Impulse Phase in Bull market
Figure 1.8(A) , wave 1,3,5 is an impulsive wave of impulse phase because The trend of impulse phase up and, Impulsive wave are following the trend and heaving upward move.
And
wave 2,4 is the corrective wave of an impulse phase because the trend of the impulse phase is up but, the corrective wave is moving down, which is against the trend.
Figure 1.8(B) , wave 1,3,5 is an impulsive wave of impulse phase because the trend of Motive/impulse phase down and Impulsive wave are following trend and heaving downward move.
And Wave 2,4 is the corrective wave of an impulse phase because the trend of the Impulse phase is down but, the corrective wave is moving upward, which is against the trend.
Corrective Phase/structure :
Important things about the impulse phase
1). The Corrective Phase is a three-wave structure that includes waves A, B, C.
2). The corrective phase is a counter-trend move ( moves against the trend.)
3). The Ending point of the corrective phase is the starting point of the Impulse phase.
4) correction phase can divide into two types of waves
i) Impulse waves: A, C ( move with Trend of correction Phase )
ii) corrective waves: B ( moves against Trend of correction Phase )
Corrective Phase in a bull market:
Figure 1.9(A) : wave A, C is the impulsive wave of the Correction phase because the trend of the correction phase is down and Impulsive waves are following the trend and heaving downward move.
And
Wave B is the corrective wave of a Correction phase because the trend of the Corrective Phase is down but, the corrective wave is moving upward which is against the trend.
Figure 1.9(B): wave A, C is the impulsive wave of the Correction phase because the trend of correction phase Up and Impulsive waves are following the trend and heaving Upward move.
And
Wave B is the corrective wave of a Correction phase because the trend of the Corrective Phase is Up but, the corrective wave is moving down, which is against the trend.
Impulsive wave structure:
1. Impulsive waves are directional moves that are bigger than corrective waves.
2. Impulsive waves create trends.
3. Impulsive waves are subdivided into five waves.
( that means wave 1,3,5, A, C which moves with the trend will have five sub-waves.)
4. Impulsive waves are easy to recognize.
(Impulsive waves can also be called motive waves)
5. Ride of impulsive wave can give us a high probability trade setup with high Rewards
We are going to cover impulsive wave formations in the next part.
(diagonals,extensions,Impulse,Truncation)
Figure 1.10: As we discussed, Impulsive waves subdivide into five waves.
Here wave 1,3,5, A, C has five subwaves which you can see in the chart.
See you in the next part.

How to Count Waves Using Chart Patterns?We can count waves using traditional patterns like Head and shoulders, Double Top and Bottom,
Triangle, cup & handle, etc. This article is about how you can count waves by identifying chart patterns.
I have covered Three chart patterns in this article,
1) Triangles
2) Head and shoulders
3) Double Top and Bottom
1) Head and shoulders:
In addition, the two lows formed when the price failed to rise and fell back down were basically at the same level. The horizontal line is often referred to as the "neckline" When the price fails to fall back for the third time neckline will break. So "head and shoulders" was officially established.
Changes in volume with head and shoulders:
During the formation of "head and shoulders", the left shoulder has the largest volume, the Head has a slightly smaller volume, and the right shoulder has the smallest volume. The phenomenon of diminishing trading volume shows that when the stock price rises, the chasing force is getting weaker and weaker, and the price has the meaning of rising to the end.
Operation plan after the Head and shoulders appear:
When the head and shoulders formed, you can decisively follow up the short order. The formation of the head and shoulders indicates the beginning of a new round of decline in the market, and the minimum drop is the distance from the head to the neckline. The profit is very substantial. Therefore, studying the formation of the Head and Shoulders is also a necessary analysis process for band enthusiasts.
Wave Count:
The left shoulder: wave 3/A.
The first touch on the neckline: wave 4/B
Head: wave 5/C
The second touch on the neckline: wave A/1
The right shoulder: wave B/2
The ending point of the right shoulder: wave C/3
2) Triangles:
These are the most commonly used triangle patterns. In this motion, we are going to understand the triangle in terms of the Elliot wave. We'll be talking about the classical triangle pattern in an upcoming educational series.
Wave Count:
A triangle forms in corrective waves. There are Four corrective waves in Elliott wave theory. The corrective waves are 2,4, B, and X.
There are four waves in a triangle which are A, B, C, D, E.
The starting point of wave A of the triangle is the ending point of impulsive wave 1/3/A/W. After the completion of wave E of wave 1/3/A/W, the Impulsive wave will initiate.
3) Double Tops and Bottom:
In the chart, you can sometimes see the stock price fluctuations. The stock price fell back after reaching the highest price. After some sorting, it rose again to near the previous stock price level and then fell back. Two "normally highs" The high point is formed on the circuit diagram and will not be seen again in the short term.
Wave Count:
In a Bull market, The first Top of the pattern represents the completion of the impulsive wave. The ending point of the Impulsive wave is the starting point of the corrective wave.
I started the wave count from the first Top and labeled it as A, B, and C waves.
In a Bear Market, The first Bottom of the pattern represents the completion of the impulsive wave. The ending point of the Impulsive wave is the starting point of the corrective wave.
I started the wave count from the first Bottom and labeled it as A, B, and C waves. After wave C is complete, we can ride the impulsive waves.
💥Bitcoin (BTCUSDT): Pullback in Short Term?Together we have followed the last part of this rally (see chart below) correctly, but now we cannot rule out some corrective structures in near term. That said, the trend is bullish on Daily and Intraday Charts, so if you decide to take a short position, you have to wait for a bearish signal. From our point of view, if BITSTAMP:BTCUSD triggers a corrective structure, it could form something like ABC Pattern.
The simplest strategy is to wait for the first bearish leg on small time frame and try to take a short position after technical rebound.

USDJPY Is Approaching Strong ResistanceUSDJPY made a sharp reversal in 2022 on a daily chart, and touched 126-130 area after BoJ policy YCC adjustment back in December. However that drop appears completed as we have seen a strong bullish reversal in the lat few months, but it's just another corrective recovery that can be now slowly approaching the end. It's ideally an A-B-C move up to 142 resistance area where we can expect a bearish turn still this year. Alternatively, this can even be W-X-Y from 127 lows, but still a corrective and temporary higher degree pause for wave B/II. A drop and turn back below 137 can be the first evidence of a top in place.
Bitcoin Analysis - 2023.06.15INDEX:BTCUSD
CMP: 24955
BTC has completed wave 4 (black color) - which is a triple three WXYXZ (blue color) type of correction - around 24770, which is also the top of Wave 1 (black color).
- Confirmed by internal wave counts of WXYXZ.
- Hourly TF shows positive RSI Divergence
- Hourly TF shows early indication of MACD crossover with MACD line crossing above signal line
- Hourly TF shows increased volume
One can go long from here for target of 30800 - 32300 - 34600.
SL should be daily close below 24800.
AUDNZD Is Finishing A Corrective RallyAUDNZD pair made an impulsive sell-off at the end of 2022 on a daily chart, which we see it as a wave (A). Since then, we can see it trading in a larger A-B-C corrective rally within wave (B) that can be now approaching important February highs resistance, from where we should be aware of another sell-off for a higher degree wave (C).
Basic Elliott wave pattern with an impulsive five-wave 1-2-3-4-5 decline, followed by a three-wave A-B-C correction indicates for more weakness.
AUD/USD: Perfect Bearish Leg!As we said in our latest analysis about FX:AUDUSD pair (see chart below), our resistance area has worked properly, and pair has triggered a bearish leg. Having said that, drop has been fast and this confirmed the resistance validity. From a technical point of view, we are now looking for a continuation or reversal pattern on intraday chart. In the next sessions, the pair could give us a clear signal, even if we already have some ideas in mind...

Bitcoin possible correction end When & WhereAccording to socionomics, Elliot waves can help in projecting the possible social mood of traders reflected by the price movement. We can see the possible area for the end of wave C as the potential end of wave 2 and the start of bigger wave 3.
Time wise, if the 12345 wave take 61.8% of the movement and ABC correction the remaining 38.2% time, we can project the end of correction as you can see on the chart. Fun fact is that also wave 3 ended near 38.2% of the time passed from the considered time projection.
We have a lot of bids on the order book of Binance (about 650 at the time of writing) around 25K, the highest since the local top. It gives a possible area for wave C to finish around 61.8% of wave A. But if it goes as much as wave A it can finish around 23K area which has the highest trading volume in case of volume profile.
*** The most important point is, according to the fractal principle of Elliot wave theory, 5 waves can be considered as a bigger wave 1 and then the ABC correction as a bigger wave 2, then it can be the start of the wave 3 which is usually the strongest wave among all 5. If the new bigger wave 3 just moves as much as the wave 1 (what we saw since 15K - 30K) it can go up 100%.
If you want to know more about the Elliot's wave C:
Wave C is the final wave in a typical A-B-C corrective pattern according to Elliott Wave Theory. It's the wave where the price usually experiences a strong movement in the opposite direction of the primary trend. Here are some key points about Wave C:
Structure: Wave C usually unfolds as a five-wave impulse sequence (1-2-3-4-5), similar to the pattern seen in the main motive phase. However, in certain cases, it can also unfold as an ending diagonal, a type of structure that is characterized by overlapping waves and tends to appear in the final move of larger patterns.
Relationship to Wave A: Wave C is often related to Wave A in terms of their lengths. The most common relationship is equality, meaning Wave C is often the same length as Wave A. Other common ratios based on Fibonacci numbers include 1.618 or 0.618 times the length of Wave A.
Finality: Completion of Wave C typically marks the end of the correction and a potential resumption of the primary trend. If the trend was up before the correction started, then the end of Wave C would often be a good buying opportunity and vice versa.
Wave C in Expanded Flats: In the case of expanded flat corrections, Wave C moves beyond the end of Wave A. This is a situation where Wave C is an impulse wave and it extends beyond the ending point of Wave A.
Characteristics: Wave C tends to be quite powerful and swift, as it represents the final move in the corrective phase and is where the previous trend's participants are finally squeezed out before the main trend resumes.
Remember that the Elliott Wave Principle is a form of technical analysis based on crowd psychology and pattern recognition. As such, it's not a guaranteed prediction tool, but rather a way of understanding the structure of market movements. The actual market behavior may not always perfectly align with the principles, and it's always recommended to use it in conjunction with other forms of analysis and risk management techniques.
AUD/USD: Technical AnalysisThe technical structure on daily chart is still very interesting, our short term setup has been corrected (see chart below), but now the pair is approaching an important long term resistance around 0.6880 area. That said, we still don't rule out some bullish consolidation in short term, but once the impulsive structure on 1H chart is completed, we expect an interesting corrective structure.
