🔍 Momentum Analysis:
• D1 Timeframe:
Momentum has entered the overbought zone. As anticipated in previous plans, we've seen four consecutive bullish days, and the current overbought condition signals that bullish momentum is weakening.
• H4 Timeframe:
Momentum is reversing downward → We expect a potential pullback today, at least until the US session.
• H1 Timeframe:
Momentum is also turning down → This supports the possibility of a short-term pullback on the H1 chart.

🌀 Wave Structure Analysis:
Currently, there are two key scenarios to consider:
✅ Scenario 1 – ABC Correction Structure (black labels):
• If this is a C wave completing an ABC correction, the current bullish move is likely over.
• In this case, price may break below the 3315 support zone, resuming the medium-term bearish trend.
✅ Scenario 2 – Impulse Wave 12345 (black labels):
• If this is wave 5 of a 5-wave impulse, the uptrend may not be complete yet.
• Currently, wave 5 has reached its first target at 3385, however, we must still watch for an extended target around 3402.
• Notably, wave 4 took the form of a triangle. According to Elliott Wave theory, when wave 4 is a triangle, wave 5 typically travels a distance equal to the triangle’s maximum height → This makes 3385 a highly probable peak area.

🌀 Wave Structure Analysis:
Looking at the chart, a corrective abc structure has just completed. The recent drop retraced back to the previous wave 4 area, indicating that this was likely a classic 3-wave correction.
This opens the possibility that we are now entering wave 5 (black). Based on the end of wave 4 (black), we can identify two potential targets for the current wave 5:
• 🎯 Primary target: around 3402
• 🎯 Extended target: around 3419
________________________________________
🔍 Momentum Analysis:
• D1 Timeframe:
Momentum is currently in the overbought zone, suggesting that upward strength may not last much longer on the daily timeframe.
• H4 Timeframe:
About 2 hours remain before the current H4 candle closes. If price holds near current levels, there is a high probability it will break above 3385, aiming for:
→ The 3402 target,
→ and possibly even the extended 3419 zone.
________________________________________
✅ Conclusion:
If price maintains above 3385 in the upcoming H4 candles, this would reinforce the likelihood of wave 5 continuing toward the 3402 and potentially 3419 targets.
