XLF into the new highs after reaching blue box area

In this technical blog, we will look at the past performance of the 1-hour Elliott Wave Charts of XLF. In which, the rally from the 05 August 2024 low unfolded as an impulse structure and showed a higher high sequence. Suggested that ETF should see more upside extension to complete the impulse sequence. Therefore, we advised members not to sell the ETF & buy the dips in 3, 7, or 11 swings at the blue box areas. We will explain the structure & forecast below:
