XLF Elliott Wave technical analysis 

Function: Major Trend.

Mode: Motive.

Structure: Impulse.

Position: Wave (iii) orange.

Direction: Uptrend.

Details:

  • Wave (ii) appears to have completed but could evolve into a flat structure.

  • The low of wave (ii) acts as the critical support level.

  • The low of wave [c] of 2 is also key support.

  • Breaching the $47.89 high offers initial confirmation, though it remains insufficient alone.

  • The projected end of wave (iii) targets a price beyond $51.00.

  • Key support remains $45.14.

  • Invalidation level: $42.21.

Conclusion:

The ongoing XLF rally is likely wave (iii) of a developing wave [i] within wave 3. This setup presents an attractive opportunity for ETF traders looking to go long. Price action is expected to exceed the $52.64 high, with $51.00 as the minimum wave (iii) target. Strict adherence to Elliott Wave rules and monitoring key invalidation levels is essential to avoid false setups and unnecessary losses.
