Current Market Structure Based on Elliott Wave Theory
Higher Timeframe Structure (Red Waves)
Gold has completed its higher-degree Wave 3 and is now expected to enter Wave 4, which is a corrective wave. A corrective move in Wave 4 typically retraces between 23.6% to 38.2% of Wave 3. The correction may take a zigzag (ABC), flat, or triangle formation before resuming the Wave 5 uptrend.
Intermediate Timeframe Structure (Purple Waves)
The internal 5-wave structure within Wave 3 (purple count) is fully completed. This suggests a high probability of an impending correction, which aligns with the higher-degree Wave 4 correction.
Negative Divergence on AO Indicator
The momentum histogram at the bottom shows negative divergence (blue trendline). Price made a higher high, but momentum did not confirm this move. This divergence suggests weakening bullish momentum, increasing the probability of a short-term pullback.
Expected Price Movement
Primary Expectation: Gold is expected to move down into Wave 4 correction, potentially finding support around $2,950 - $2,900.
Alternatives:
If a shallow correction occurs, the price may hold around $2,980 - $3,000 before resuming an uptrend. If a deep correction occurs, we may see levels around $2,850 before a final Wave 5 rally.

The expected price movements are based on historical wave patterns and technical indicators, but external market forces (news, fundamentals, economic events) can alter the structure.
