Hang Seng Index Elliott Wave technical analysis

Function: Trend

Mode: Corrective

Structure: Orange wave 2

Position: Navy blue wave 3

Direction next higher degrees: Orange wave 3

Details: Orange wave 2 still in play, nearing end. Orange wave 3 will start next.

Wave cancel invalid level: 16044.39

The Hang Seng Index Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart indicates the market is currently in a corrective trend. This mode suggests a temporary reversal or correction rather than a continuation of the primary trend.

Structure analysis

  • Current Structure: Orange wave 2
    • In Elliott Wave Theory, wave 2 typically follows the initial impulse wave (wave 1). It usually retraces a significant portion of wave 1, setting the stage for wave 3.
  • Current Position: Navy blue wave 3
    • Indicates the market is expected to enter the third wave of the larger degree navy blue wave sequence. Wave 3 in any degree is typically the most powerful and provides significant directional movement in the trend's direction.

Direction for higher degrees

  • Next Higher Degree: Orange wave 3
    • After the completion of the current orange wave 2, the market is anticipated to start a strong upward movement as part of orange wave 3. Wave 3 is known for its strength and is often the most extended wave in the Elliott Wave cycle.

Current status

  • Orange wave 2: Nearing its end
    • This implies the corrective phase is almost complete, and the market is preparing to transition into orange wave 3, which will be an impulse wave moving in the direction of the primary trend.

Critical level

  • Wave Cancel Invalid Level: 16044.39
    • This level serves as a critical point; if the market moves beyond this level, the current wave count would be invalidated, necessitating a reevaluation of the wave structure.

Summary

The Hang Seng Index on the daily chart is in a corrective phase within orange wave 2. This wave is nearing completion, and the market is expected to start orange wave 3, indicating a strong upward movement. The wave cancel invalid level is 16044.39, beyond which the current analysis would need to be reassessed.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD holds firm above 1.1900 as US NFP looms

EUR/USD holds its upbeat momentum above 1.1900 in the European trading hours on Wednesday, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Markets could turn cautious later in the day as the delayed US employment report for January will takes center stage. 

GBP/USD remains above nine-day EMA near 1.3650

GBP/USD recovers its recent losses from the previous session, trading around 1.3680 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a sustained bullish bias, as the pair trades within an ascending channel pattern.

Gold sticks to gains near $5,050 as focus shifts to US NFP

Gold holds moderate gains near the $5,050 level in the European session on Wednesday, reversing a part of the previous day's modest losses amid dovish US Federal Reserve-inspired US Dollar weakness. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the critical US NFP release. 

US Nonfarm Payrolls expected to show modest job gains in January

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the delayed Nonfarm Payrolls data for January on Wednesday at 13:30 GMT. Investors expect NFP to rise by 70K following the 50K increase recorded in December.

S&P 500 at 7,000 is a valuation test, not a liquidity problem

The rebound from last week’s drawdown never quite shook the sense that it was being supported by borrowed conviction. The S&P 500 once again tested near the 7,000 level (6,986 as the high watermark) and failed, despite a macro backdrop that would normally be interpreted as supportive of risk.

Bitcoin price slips below $67,000 ahead of US Nonfarm Payrolls data

Bitcoin price extends losses, and trades below the lower consolidating boundary at $67,300 at the time of writing. A firm close below this level could trigger a deeper correction for BTC. Despite the weakness in price action, institutional demand shows signs of support, recording mild inflows in ETFs so far this week.
