LLY Elliott Wave technical analysis – Daily chart

We are anticipating a top in wave {b} of 4, which would then lead to the completion of the overall correction in wave 4. However, there is a possibility that Minor wave 4 has already bottomed. Traders should be cautious as the completion of wave {b} could signal the beginning of a move lower in wave {c} of 4.

LLY Elliott Wave technical analysis – Four-hour chart

The 4-hour chart shows that the initial move down in wave {a} was a three-wave structure, which is characteristic of a flat correction. This pattern suggests that the potential wave 4 correction might already be complete, especially since prices have touched the area of the previous wave {iv}. However, confirmation is needed to determine if wave 4 has indeed completed or if another leg lower is forthcoming.
