#ES-mini $ES #Elliott Wave

The corrective (w)-(x)-(y) down structure made enough micro waves to be considered completed. On Friday ES dipped into the Green Demand Zone. We got two pairs of a-b-c’s interconnected by the failed rally labelled (x) up.

That looks like a completed corrective structure but doubts remain whether we can count that shallow and brief pullback as all of the wave (iv) down:

Let’s zoom out to a daily chart:

ES-mini Daily chart

This pullback may very well be just a subwave (a) of wave (iv) down, the first leg down in a larger corrective structure of the wave (iv) down.

Alternatively, that double three (w)-(x)-(y) down structure may morph into a triple three down structure.

Let me explain you what that means:

Es-mini 90 min chart

If that pre-market rally stops at or under 5,240 that could become yet another failed attempt to start a rally to be labelled as (xx) up. In that case that failed attempt to start a new leg up in a wave (v) up would be followed by another a-b-c down structure, the third a-b-c component of the Triple Three structure.

Again, the key resistance is 5,240.

In order to prove that the flat and shallow (w)-(x)-(y) down is a completed corrective structure bulls need to make a higher high over 5,257.50.

the weekly trend is still down.
