ES_F Elliott Wave one-hour chart 01.27.2025
Futures show an impulsive decline from the peak. Consequently, we assume that the price is nearing the completion of the first leg of a deeper wave 2 (red) pullback, unfolding as a Zig-Zag pattern. We expect to see a three-wave bounce in ((b)), followed by another leg down in wave 2 (red). The final target for wave 2 (red) will depend on how far wave ((b)) extends to the upside.
ES_F Elliott Wave one-hour chart 02.02.2025
$ES_F has completed a clear five-wave decline from the peak—((a)) in black—followed by a three-wave bounce in ((b)), as anticipated. The market is now likely in the final ((c)) leg of the correction.As long as the price remains below the 6148.21 peak, $ES_F can see a drop toward the 5934.5–5884 area to complete wave 2 (red) before resuming the larger trend.
If you’re not already long and risk-free from the previous blue box area, the best approach to trading $ES_F would be to wait for a break above the 1 red peak. Once that happens, we can look for an intraday pullback to buy the dips in the 3, 7, and 11 swings.
