5 Wave Impulse Structure + ABC correction.

$XLY 1H Elliott Wave Chart 10.31.2024:

In the 1-hour Elliott Wave count from October 31, 2024, we see that $XLY completed a 5-wave impulsive cycle beginning on October 23, 2024, and ending on October 28, 2024, at the red 1. As expected, this initial wave prompted a pullback. We anticipated this pullback to unfold in 3 swings, likely finding buyers in the equal legs area between $197.51 and $194.97.

This setup aligns with a typical Elliott Wave correction pattern (ABC), where the market pauses briefly before resuming the main trend.
