Shopify Weekly Elliott Wave Chart
Since IPO, the stock price advanced higher in a classical 5 waves move which design a bullish trend. Therefore, based on the Elliott wave theory, the stock will do another similar 5 waves move in the same direction after a 3 , 7 or 11 swings pullback against the trend.
That’s exactly what’s taking place, SHOP ended the cycle last year as a first leg wave (I) then corrected lower in what appears to be a bullish flag pattern in wave (II) and now the stock is in the process of resuming the main trend by making new all time highs.
The break to the upside is significant in 2 ways: A break of a bullish continuation pattern and more importantly a possible start of a third wave higher which represent the strongest wave in the Elliott wave theory. The minimum measured target for the move is at the 100% Fibonacci extension $275 and the 161.8% comes at $375.
Consequently, Shopify is expected to remain supported above December 2018 low $117 and buyers will be looking for pullbacks in 3 , 7 or 11 swings to enter the market which makes the stock bullish for 2019.
