ASX: S32 Elliott Wave technical analysis

Greetings, Our Elliott Wave analysis today updates the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) SOUTH32 LIMITED – S32. We see ASX:S32 likely to have a pullback in the near future with wave 2-grey, before wave 3-grey pushes much higher.

ASX: S32 one-day chart (semilog scale) analysis

Function: Major trend (Minor degree, gray).

Mode: Motive.

Structure: Impulse.

Position: Wave ((a))-navy of Wave 2-grey.

Details: Wave 1-grey is probably complete, and wave 2-grey could continue pushing down further, aiming for retracement targets around 3.46 - 3.32. Then wave 3-grey could return to push higher. If price continues to push up instead of pushing down, it could suggest an alternative scenario, in which wave ((v))-navy is unfolding. But the end result would still be a push lower with wave 2-grey.

Invalidation point: 2.79.

ASX: S32 four-hour chart analysis

Function: Major trend (Minor degree, grey).

Mode: Motive.

Structure: Diagonal.

Position: Wave ((b))-navy of Wave 2-grey.

Details: There is no change on the 4H chart compared to the 1D chart. But the price pushing above 3.95 would indicate that the ((v))-navy wave of the 1-grey wave is active under the ALT replacement scenario. And it will probably complete soon at that point, and a pullback with the 2-grey wave would be the final outcome.

Invalidation point: 2.79.
