IBB ( iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology Index ETF ) tracks the performance of a market-cap-weighted index of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies listed on the NASDAQ. In this Technical Blog we’re going to take a quick look at the past Elliott Wave charts of IBB and we’re going to take a look at the price structures , count the swings and explain the forecast.
Early this year, the instrument made new highs and it was showing 5 swings from last year low which is considered as a bullish incomplete sequence. That’s why we were looking to buy the 6th swing pullback in 3 , 7 or 11 looking for a new leg to the upside or at least 3 waves bounce.

Finally, the index managed to make new highs above March peak and we were still calling for more extension to the upside. The first short term target area was achieved at 321 and pullbacks from there should remain supported in 3 , 7 or 11 swings while pivot at 290 low keeps holding.
