Shanghai Composite Elliott Wave technical analysis

  • Function: Counter Trend.

  • Mode: Corrective.

  • Structure: Orange wave 2.

  • Position: Navy blue wave 3.

  • Next higher degree: Orange wave 3.

Details

The Elliott Wave analysis for the Shanghai Composite on the daily chart highlights a counter-trend phase in a corrective mode. The current structure is orange wave 2, which follows the completion of orange wave 1. The market is positioned in navy blue wave 3, indicating that the corrective phase is still unfolding.

With orange wave 1 completed, orange wave 2 is now developing as a retracement within the broader trend. Once orange wave 2 finishes, the next move is expected to be orange wave 3, signaling the resumption of the overall upward movement.

The higher-degree focus remains on the upcoming orange wave 3, which is expected to follow once the corrective phase completes. Prices may experience fluctuations during orange wave 2, as this wave represents a temporary pause or reversal before the continuation of the larger trend.

  • Wave cancellation level: 2684.5610 – If prices fall below this level, the current wave count would be invalidated, and a reassessment of the wave structure would be required.

Summary

The Shanghai Composite daily chart is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 2, following the completion of orange wave 1. The market is positioned within navy blue wave 3, with an anticipated upward movement in orange wave 3 once the correction concludes. The key level to watch is 2684.5610, as a breach of this level would invalidate the current wave count.

Details

The Elliott Wave analysis for the Shanghai Composite on the weekly chart reveals a counter-trend movement in a corrective mode. The market is currently unfolding in orange wave 2, following the completion of orange wave 1. This corrective phase indicates a temporary price retracement within the broader upward trend.

The market is positioned in navy blue wave 3, which suggests that after the completion of orange wave 2, a future upward movement is expected, as orange wave 3 begins. This corrective wave allows the market to pause and adjust before the larger upward trend continues.

The higher degree points toward the forthcoming orange wave 3, expected to resume the upward momentum once the current correction in orange wave 2 concludes.

  • Wave cancellation level: 2684.5610 – If the price drops below this level, the current wave count would be invalidated, requiring a reevaluation of the analysis.

Summary

The Shanghai Composite weekly chart is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 2, following the completion of orange wave 1. The market is positioned in navy blue wave 3, and an upward movement in orange wave 3 is expected once the correction finishes. The key level to watch is 2684.5610, which, if breached, would invalidate the current wave count.

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.
