NIFTY 50 Index - Daily chart technical analysis and potential Elliott Wave counts

The NIFTY 50 daily chart analysis suggests that a major top was formed around 26,300 in September 2024.

A high-probability wave count indicates:

  • The index carved Minute Wave ((a)) near 23,267, followed by Wave ((b)) and ((c)), reaching 24,900 and the 22,700 - 22,800 zone.

  • Previously, the index formed Intermediate Wave (4) Orange near the 15,200 lows, followed by an impulse wave at Minor Degree (1-5) that pushed prices to 26,300, marking Wave (5)’s termination.

  • Bulls may attempt a rally towards the 24,900 - 25,100 range in the near future. Alternatively, if the correction is complete at 22,700, the index could turn higher towards 26,300.

NIFTY 50 Index - Four-hour chart technical analysis and potential Elliott Wave counts

The NIFTY 50 4H chart highlights potential wave counts since the index reached the 26,280 - 26,300 high on September 27, 2024.

Wave structure adjustments suggest:

  • The ((a)) - ((b)) - ((c)) Zigzag correction may have completed from the 26,280 highs.

  • The initial drop to 23,257 has been labeled as Minute Wave ((a)), followed by Wave ((b)) reaching the 24,900 zone.

  • Minute Wave ((c)) possibly unfolded as a diagonal structure, completing near the 22,700 - 22,800 zone.

  • If this holds, the index could now:

    • Enter a counter-trend rally towards the 24,400 - 24,500 zone within a larger-degree correction.

    • Resume an upward move towards new highs above 26,300.

    • A break above 23,900 would confirm that bulls are back in control.

Conclusion

The NIFTY 50 INDEX appears to be progressing higher towards the 25,000 - 25,100 zone within a larger-degree corrective structure.
