The Shanghai Composite day chart Elliott Wave analysis outlines a counter-trend structure. The current price action is corrective, indicating a retracement phase within a broader upward trend. Gray wave 2 is unfolding within orange wave 3, suggesting a typical pullback before continuation.

With gray wave 1 concluded, gray wave 2 represents a corrective segment that often partially retraces prior movement. Once gray wave 2 finishes, gray wave 3 is expected to resume the primary trend direction.

The setup indicates the index is moving through gray wave 2 after completing gray wave 1. This typically leads to range-bound trading or moderate pullbacks. Being positioned within orange wave 3 confirms the broader wave sequence is still progressing.

Traders should monitor gray wave 2 for signs of completion. The counter-trend nature of the wave suggests temporary consolidation before a potential breakout into gray wave 3.
