S&P 500 E-Mini (ES_F) Elliott Wave: Blue box buy setup explained

As our members know we have had many profitable trading setups recently.  In this technical article, we are going to present another Elliott Wave trading setup we got in SPX E-Mini ( ES_F ) . ES_F completed this correction precisely at the Equal Legs zone, referred to as the Blue Box Area. In the following sections, we will delve into the specifics of the Elliott Wave pattern observed , discuss the trading setup and present targets.

ES_F Elliott Wave four-hour chart 11.17.2025

The current view suggests that ES_F is forming a Double Three correction (WXY red) . The price action shows an incomplete structure from the peak. We anticipate an extension toward the extreme zone at 6004.76-6416.9, where we are looking to re-enter as buyers.

We recommend members to avoid selling ES_F . As the main trend remains bullish, we anticipate at least a 3-wave bounce from this Blue Box area. Once the price touches the 50 fibs against the X red connector, we’ll make positions risk-free and set the stop loss at breakeven and book partial profits. On other hand, breaking below the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level at 6416.9 would invalidate the trade.
