Torchlight Energy Resources Elliott wave View:
From the September 2020 low at 0.21, the trajectory on this stock is nothing less than extraordinary. The rally from the 0.21 September low to the 4.83 February peak represents a 2300% return within a few short months. It can be expected that a long and deep correction can be expected from such a rally. There is a clear 5 waves structure heading into the Feb peak. Coming out of an all time low in September 2020, this peak can be counted as the first wave of a long extended rally. From the Red I peak, prices sharply fell in a double correction ((W)) wave. After that, a connector in ((X)). After that, another swing lower to form a low in Red II.
The RSI momentum at the Red II low has a very extreme reading. Should the stock continue to fall lower than 1.27, it would likely diverge in momentum. This would would point to a more prolonged correction in time and price. For now, the bottom is favoured to be set as long as $1.27 level holds. Presently, the expectation is for a rally into blue (1) before pulling back in (2), and then further extension higher.
