SMI Daily Elliott Wave Analysis 08.01.2021

The daily chart below shows in more detail the advance higher in wave I of (V). From the March 2020 lows, wave I demonstrates three nests: ((1))-((2)), (1)-(2), 1-2. Recently, we saw an accelration higher in red 3 of blue (3) of black ((3)). Even though the main acceleration might be already over, we anticipate a series of 5th waves which should provide the new all-time highs. The short-term pullbacks should remain supported in 3, 7, 11 swings for more upside to complete the impulsive structure within wave I.

Later, we expect a pullback in wave II to take place which should correct the cycle in wave I from March 2020 lows. It should find support in 3, 7, 11 swings above 7648.5 lows for an extension higher in wave III of (V). Therefore, investors can be waiting end 2021 – start 2022 to buy SMI against 7648.5 lows for an extension higher in waves III-V of (V).
