Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Last year, we explained Visa (NYSE: V) bullish sequence and outlined the reasons for more upside. Now that this cycle has ended, we analyze the recent weekly correction. This pullback presents a fresh investment opportunity. Therefore, we update our bullish view for the stock.

Looking at Visa’s Elliott Wave count, the cycle from the 2022 low has ended. A five-wave advance marked wave (III) at $375. Following that peak, the stock started a pullback in wave (IV). This correction shaped a corrective double three structure. Price already reached the $300 – $264 Blue Box zone. Investors should buy from this extreme area for the next move higher.

Consequently, Visa should react to the upside with at least a three-wave bounce. Ideally, wave (V) will begin from this zone. This next cycle should target at least the $395 – $427 area.
