CAT Elliott Wave technical analysis – Daily chart

After completing a corrective wave (iv), CAT has rebounded sharply from the $300 level. This bounce suggests that wave (v) is underway, with the potential to push towards the Medium Level at $400. The completion of wave (v) could signify the end of the current impulsive cycle, making this a critical phase for traders to monitor for potential profit-taking or the beginning of a new corrective phase.

CAT Elliott Wave technical analysis – One-hour chart

The 1-hour chart suggests that CAT is likely progressing within subminuette wave iii of (v). There are two possible scenarios unfolding: (1) a traditional 1-2 structure within wave iii, or (2) the formation of a leading diagonal, where what is currently labeled as waves 1 and 2 could actually be waves 3 and 4 of the diagonal. In either case, the structure implies further upside as wave iii completes and moves towards wave v.
