Current Elliott Wave analysis

S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX)

These indices are tracking two potential Elliott Wave patterns:

  1. Wave 4 has likely reached its low, setting the stage for the next bullish movement in the larger trend.

  2. Alternatively, an Ending Diagonal pattern suggests the possibility of one more downward move before the next significant rally begins. Traders should watch key pivot points for confirmation of either scenario to align strategies accordingly.

DAX 40 and FTSE 100

The DAX 40 and FTSE 100 are both advancing in well-defined Elliott Impulse waves to the upside. These indices show strong momentum, indicative of a continuation of the current bullish trend. Monitoring wave counts and support/resistance levels will help pinpoint high-probability trade setups.

ASX 200

The ASX 200 is exhibiting unique characteristics in its wave structure, aligning with broader global market movements. Traders can look for confirmation of the prevailing trend by correlating local market patterns with major global indices.
