The analysis below reflects the view and wave counts at the time of publication, and may differ materially from current view and wave counts


As on Thursday, 23 April 2026 | CMP: 8,709 | Posted at 9:00 AM

Bottom Line

➡️ Structure is at a decision point
➡️ Bullish continuation requires acceptance above 10,990
➡️ Below 6,585, the entire rise risks being corrective
➡️ Best approach: Wait for clarity, not anticipation


Primary Elliott Wave View

(3-Day / Weekly / 2-Week aligned)

The move from 4,724 → 10,990 is being treated as part of a developing impulsive structure, but confirmation is still pending.

  • The rejection from ~10,990 suggests wave 3 may be complete
  • Current phase likely represents wave 4 (time / price correction)

For the bullish structure to remain valid:

  • 6,585 must hold
  • Price must eventually break and sustain above 10,990

Only then does the structure transition from potential → confirmed impulse (wave 5)

3 day chart : Await a rally above 10,990 without testing 6585 first
Once a 5 wave up has confirmed wave 1 up, await a wave ii correction for wave 3 up.
Larger tend is up. Possible projected path under this wave count.

Alternate Count (Needs Equal Respect)

If 6,585 is breached first:

  • The rise from 4,724 → 10,990 likely becomes a 3-wave corrective move
  • This would imply the rally is wave B, not the start of a larger uptrend

➡️ Opens up wave C downside
➡️ Potential move back towards 4,724
➡️ Structure aligns with an expanded flat correction

A breach of 6585 would eventually lead to a test of 4724 in wave C of (ii).

What This Means Practically

  • Above 10,990 → strength is confirmed, but not a chase
  • The opportunity, if it develops, is after a pullback
  • Between 10,990 and 6,585 → structurally unclear zone
  • Below 6,585 → bearish structure takes control

Key Thought

This is a “prove it first” market, not a “predict and position” setup.
