Cocoa long-term Elliott Wave analysis

Cocoa remains bullish in the long term, supported by its historical uptrend that began in April 2017. The current long-term cycle reflects a major Elliott Wave advance, with:

  • Wave (I) completed in April 2018.

  • Wave (II) ended in October 2018.

  • Wave (III) began in October 2018, starting at $2,147 and peaking at $12,931 in December 2024.

This high marked the completion of Wave III of (III), initiating the corrective Wave IV of the major impulse that began in July 2020.

Corrective Wave IV has developed with:

  • Wave ((A)) ending in March 2025.

  • Wave ((B)) finishing in May 2025.

  • Wave ((C)) now underway, with downside projections targeting 6576–5356 (100% of ((A)) measured from ((B))).

This suggests short-term pressure remains bearish, although it is part of a long-term bullish framework.

Cocoa Elliott Wave analysis – Four-hour chart

The 4-hour chart zooms in on the internal structure of Wave ((C)), currently unfolding to the downside. So far:

  • Waves (1) and (2) of ((C)) have completed.

  • Price is now developing Wave (3) of ((C)), with projections suggesting a decline to the 7773–7380 region in the near term.

This reinforces the short-term bearish bias within a longer-term correction phase.
