WTI Crudeoil Commodity Elliott Wave Technical Analysis - Tuesday, September 24

WTI Elliott Wave Analysis

As we approach the latter part of September 2024, coffee is currently retracing following the sell-off that began in late June. While this retracement may extend further, the long-term bearish cycle appears poised to push prices below the lows established in May 2023, potentially reaching levels last seen in mid-2021.

From a long-term perspective, WTI is in a bearish corrective phase. The commodity began its recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 in April 2020, which continued for 23 months, culminating in a robust impulse wave cycle that peaked in March 2022, when prices exceeded $130. Since that high, WTI has entered a bearish phase that we now identify as corrective.

Daily Chart Analysis

Analyzing the daily chart, we see that the corrective cycle from March 2022 is unfolding into a double zigzag pattern. After completing a zigzag at $64.50 in March 2023, prices moved sideways for over 17 months, indicating the formation of a larger double zigzag that may drive prices below $50 in the coming months.

The first leg of this pattern has completed a zigzag structure, labeled wave W (circled) of the primary degree. The second leg has formed a triangle structure, identified as wave X (circled) of the same degree. In early September, prices broke out of the triangle, signaling the beginning of the third leg—wave Y (circled). Consequently, the current bounce is expected to be a minor correction within the larger wave Y (circled) decline.

H4 Chart Analysis 

On the H4 chart, wave Y (circled) initiated from the high of August 13, 2024, at $80.16, where wave X (circled) concluded with a triangle structure. The ongoing bounce could extend to the $74-$76 range to complete wave x (circled) of W, which serves as a sub-wave of Y (circled). Therefore, as long as the current bounce remains below $80.16, WTI is likely to favor downside movement in the long term.
