Revised short term Elliott Wave cycle suggests cycle from 12/18 peak has ended with with (Y) at 115.96.  From this level, pair has bounced in 3 swings so far. Wave W is expected to complete at 117.96 – 118.32 area, then it should pullback in wave X before potentially another leg higher to finish wave (X) for a […]

Short term Elliott Wave cycle suggests decline from wave X at 118.38 is unfolding in a double three structure where wave ((w)) ended at 115.96 and wave ((x)) bounce is proposed complete at 117.48. While below 117.48, but more importantly as far as 118.38 pivot stays intact, pair is expected to resume lower in wave ((y)) towards […]

Short term Elliott Wave cycle suggests cycle from 12/4 peak at 134.58 remains alive as a double three where wave (W) ended at 127 and wave (X) bounce is in progress as a triangle. Wave A of (X) in the triangle is proposed complete at 129.08, and as far as bounces stay below this level, the triangle idea remains […]
