The NZDUSD daily chart, analyzed through Elliott Wave theory, shows the market currently trending upwards with an impulsive wave structure in focus. The main wave under scrutiny is Orange Wave 3, indicating ongoing bullish momentum. This wave belongs to a broader degree wave structure identified as Navy Blue Wave 1, suggesting the possibility of the market being in the initial stages of a longer-term upward trend.

Orange Wave 2, which represented a corrective phase within this sequence, seems to have concluded. Following this correction, Orange Wave 3 has commenced, signaling that the market is experiencing an upward push. In Elliott Wave theory, Wave 3 is typically the most powerful and longest wave in the sequence, often leading to significant price increases.

The next higher degree wave, Orange Wave 3, is expected to maintain its upward path as the market continues through this impulsive phase. The current wave count suggests that further upward movement is likely as Orange Wave 3 develops.

A crucial level to watch is the wave cancel invalid level at 0.58511. If the market drops below this level, it would invalidate the current Elliott Wave count, implying a possible change in the wave structure or a trend reversal.

In summary, the NZDUSD daily chart shows a strong upward trend, with Orange Wave 3 in progress following the completion of Orange Wave 2. The market is expected to continue rising as part of this Wave 3, with the invalidation level at 0.58511 being critical; a breach would indicate a potential shift in the current wave analysis.
