The short-term Elliott Wave analysis for the S&P 500 E-Mini Futures (ES) indicates the Index is currently in the final leg of wave (5), originating from the April 2025 low, before a larger three-wave correction unfolds. The decline to 6540.5 marked the completion of wave (4), followed by an upward turn in wave (5), structured as an impulse Elliott Wave pattern. From the wave (4) low, wave ((i)) concluded at 6718.5, with a subsequent pullback in wave ((ii)) ending at 6593.25. The rally in wave ((iii)) peaked at 6722.5, followed by a dip in wave ((iv)) to 6666. The final wave ((v)) reached 6766.75, completing wave 1 in a higher degree.

The ensuing wave 2 correction developed as a double three Elliott Wave structure. From the wave 1 peak, wave ((w)) declined to 6651.5, followed by a wave ((x)) rally to 6750.5. The final wave ((y)) dropped to 6571.25, concluding wave 2. The Index has since resumed its upward trajectory in wave 3. In the near term, wave ((i)) of 3 is expected to conclude soon, followed by a corrective wave ((ii)) to retrace the cycle from the October 17 low before continuing higher. As long as the pivot at 6540.5 remains intact, expect pullbacks to find support in a 3, 7, or 11 swing, setting the stage for further gains.
