As our members know, OIL is forming a 3-wave pullback after a rally. The correction is a textbook example of an Elliott Wave Zig Zag pattern. In the following analysis, we explain the Elliott Wave pattern and the market outlook.
Before we take a look at the real market example, let’s explain Elliott Wave Zigzag.
Elliott Wave Zigzag is the most popular corrective pattern in Elliott Wave theory . It’s made of 3 swings which have 5-3-5 inner structure. Inner swings are A,B,C where A =5 waves, B=3 waves and C=5 waves. That means A and C can be either impulsive waves or diagonals. (Leading Diagonal in case of wave A or Ending in case of wave C) . Waves A and C must meet all conditions of being 5 wave structure, such as: having RSI divergency between wave subdivisions, ideal Fibonacci extensions and ideal retracements.

OIL Elliott Wave 1 Hour Chart 09.18.2026
OIL is forming a 3-wave pullback from the recent highs. At the moment, the structure of the pullback looks incomplete. So far, we can count 5 waves down from the peak, suggesting that the pullback is forming an Elliott Wave Zig Zag pattern. We expect another 5-wave leg to the downside to complete the pullback. As our members know, we derive the buying zone by measuring the Equal Legs area using the Fibonacci Extension tool.
The ideal target area comes at 95.79–91.03. At this zone, we expect buyers to step in and take control, pushing the price higher in at least a three-wave bounce, or ideally toward new highs.
