Visa (V) shows strong momentum heading into next quarter. Analysts expect higher revenue and EPS, supported by rising payment volumes and steady cross‑border activity. Moreover, Visa keeps beating estimates, which strengthens confidence in continued earnings growth. Stablecoin-linked payments also expand quickly, adding a new growth driver.

Next quarter may deliver another solid performance. Estimates call for EPS near $3.21–$3.22 and revenue above $11.3B, according to analyst projections. Transaction volume trends remain positive, and value‑added services grow fast. Therefore, Visa enters the next quarter with strong fundamentals and improving sentiment.

Elliott Wave Outlook: VISA (V) Weekly Chart January 2026

In the last update, we noted that the market had broken below $328.70 in November, which indicated that wave IV had already started. Because of that break, we labeled the structure as a double correction. Wave ((W)) defined the November low, wave ((X)) defined the January 2026 high, and we anticipated three additional waves lower to complete the pattern before the bullish trend resumed.

We expected the next bounce to unfold as a corrective move, allowing one more leg down into the blue box at 300.78–265.09. To confirm this view, the market needed to break the November low. That break would have created a strong opportunity to buy Visa (V) again.

Elliott Wave Principle Behind the Market Structure

Impulse

An impulse is a clean 5‑wave pattern that drives the trend forward.

  • Waves 1‑3‑5 are strong and directional.
  • No overlap between waves 1 and 4.
  • Wave 3 is usually the strongest.
  • Structure is clear, with increasing momentum.

Elliott Wave Outlook: VISA (V) Daily Chart May 2026

In this new update, we saw the market react higher from the blue box as expected. However, the price action in Visa remained unclear, and the market needed to break key levels to define the next scenarios. First, Visa needed to break above the 342.06 high to complete five waves up from the 293.76 low and form an impulsive structure as wave ((1)). In that case, we expected the low labeled as wave IV to hold during a pullback as wave ((2)), followed by a continuation higher.

But if the market failed to break that high, it could continue lagging in price and potentially move lower. In that scenario, the market could break below the 293.76 low, following the orange path, and extend toward the 277.17–237.29 area to correct the cycle from the 2022 low. If that happened, the market would have offered a strong opportunity to buy Visa shares again.
