In this technical blog, we are going to take a look at the past performance of 1 hour Elliott Wave Charts of the Exxon Mobil ticker symbol: XOM. In which, the decline from 08 June 2020 peak unfolded as an impulse 5 wave structure. Thus suggested that it's a continuation pattern. And as per Elliott wave theory after a 3 waves pullback, it should do another extension higher in 5 waves impulse structure at least. Therefore, we advised members not to buy the instrument & trade the no enemy areas (blue boxes) as per the Elliott wave hedging tool. Looking for 3 wave reaction lower at least. We will explain the structure & forecast below:
