Hang Seng Index Elliott Wave Analysis – Trading Lounge Day Chart.

Hang Seng Index Elliott Wave technical analysis

  • Function: Counter Trend.

  • Mode: Corrective.

  • Structure: Gray Wave 2.

  • Position: Orange Wave 3.

  • Direction of next higher degrees: Gray Wave 3.

Details

Gray wave 1 appears to be complete, and gray wave 2 is currently in progress.

  • Wave Cancel Invalid Level: 16,449.94.

This analysis evaluates the Hang Seng Index using Elliott Wave theory on a daily chart. The market is currently in a counter-trend phase, signifying a temporary reversal within the broader trend. The primary structure under observation is gray wave 2, which started after the completion of gray wave 1. This phase represents the continuation of the corrective phase before the next impulsive wave begins.

The current position is within orange wave 3, a smaller wave inside the broader gray wave 2 corrective structure. This stage reflects ongoing counter-trend movement, with further development expected before transitioning into gray wave 3, which will mark the resumption of the upward impulsive trend.

Key threshold: Invalidation level

The invalidation level is defined at 16,449.94. If the index falls to this level, the current wave count and outlook will be invalidated. This threshold serves as a vital reference for traders, helping to confirm the corrective phase and manage risks effectively.

Conclusion

The Elliott Wave analysis suggests that the Hang Seng Index is currently in a counter-trend phase, with gray wave 2 actively unfolding. The completion of gray wave 1 confirmed the beginning of this corrective phase, while orange wave 3 represents the ongoing activity within the structure. The counter-trend outlook remains valid as long as the index stays above the invalidation level of 16,449.94. Further corrective movement is expected before transitioning to the impulsive phase associated with gray wave 3.
