The analysis examines the USD/CAD currency pair using Elliott Wave Theory on a daily chart, focusing on a counter-trend phase. The market is identified in a corrective mode, indicating a temporary pullback within the broader trend.

The primary wave structure under observation is navy blue wave 2, which follows the completion of navy blue wave 1. This signals the ongoing corrective phase before transitioning into the next impulsive wave.
