RIO Stock Analysis and Elliott Wave technical forecast [Video]

ASX: RIO TINTO LIMITED - RIO Elliott Elliott Wave Technical Analysis TradingLounge (1D Chart).

Greetings, Our Elliott Wave analysis today updates the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with RIO TINTO LIMITED - RIO. We see RIO possibly rallying with wave ((iii))-navy after some time, but not now as wave ((ii))-navy will probably still push lower one more time.

ASX: RIO Tinto Limited - RIO 1D chart (Semilog scale) analysis

Function: Major trend (Minor degree, grey).

Mode: Motive.

Structure: Impulse.

Position: Wave ((ii))-navy of Wave 3-grey.

Details: Wave ((ii))-navy may still have one more leg to push lower to complete the entire Zigzag pattern. Then wave ((iii))-navy may push higher. The ALT alternative scenario shows that wave ((ii))-navy has ended, and wave ((iii))-navy is unfolding, to trigger the alternative scenario, price needs to push up quickly, and strongly past the 123.78 level significantly.

Invalidation point: 105.11.

ASX: RIO Tinto Limited - RIO four-hour chart analysis

Function: Major trend (Minuette degree, navy).

Mode: Motive.

Structure: Impulse.

Position: Wave (b)-orange of Wave ((ii))-navy.

Details: Wave ((ii))-navy is unfolding to push lower as a Zigzag (a),(b),(c)-orange. I don't think it's complete yet, and wave (b)-orange is probably not finished yet, so a slight push to the upside is needed, then wave (c)-orange will continue to push lower to complete the whole wave ((ii))-navy.

Invalidation point: 105.11.
