Greetings, Our Elliott Wave analysis today updates the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with SANTOS LIMITED - STO. We see ASX:STO continuing to push lower, before actually moving higher with the ((3))-navy wave.

ASX: STO one-day chart (semilog scale) analysis

Function: Major trend (Minor degree, gray).

Mode: Motive.

Structure: Impulse.

Position: Wave C-grey of Wave (Y)-orange of Wave ((2))-navy.

Details: Wave ((2))-navy is still longer than expected, and there is still one more push lower. Then wave ((3))-navy can come back to push higher. It will target around 6.16 (Wave C-grey = Wave A-grey).

Invalidation point: 7.45.

ASX: STO four-hour chart analysis

Function: Counter trend (Primary degree, navy).

Mode: Corrective.

Structure: Double Zigzag.

Position: Wave (v)-navy of Wave C-grey of Wave (Y)-orange of Wave ((2))-navy.

Details: Since the 7.45 high, the grey wave C is unfolding to push lower as a five-wave labeled from wave ((i))-navy to wave ((v))-navy. It will probably continue to push lower, targeting the 6.16 low. While price must remain below 7.01 to maintain this view. Pushing above that level is the first step to show that wave ((3))-navy is probably unfolding.

Invalidation point: 7.01.
