XAGUSD Elliott Wave: W-X-Y Correction Done, $64 Next?
The correction ran deeper than I expected in our last update. Wave (c) of Y ended just above the 0.786 area, and price is now slowly curling back up.
The correction in silver ran deeper than I expected in my last update. Wave (c) of Y ended just above the 0.786 area, and price is now slowly curling back up.
It has also broken above the falling trendline, so this W-X-Y may be done. I want a pullback first, then another push toward $64.
What is the current Elliott Wave count on XAGUSD?
The 4h chart shows a double zigzag correction after the wave 5 high near $71. Wave W finished with its (c) leg around the mid-$62 area. Wave X retraced up into the high $67s. Wave Y then took price lower in an (a)-(b)-(c) structure.
Wave (c) of Y is the final leg of that sequence. Inside it, the chart shows a clean five-wave decline: i, ii, iii, iv, v, with wave (a) labeled at the v low and (b) bouncing to roughly $62. The last leg down then drove price into the lows, where it formed a wedge-like squeeze against the falling red trendline.
Where did the XAGUSD correction end?
Wave (c) of Y bottomed at $58.50, just above the 0.786 retracement. I had expected a shallower correction, so this one went deeper than planned. That happens. The count does not need to be perfect on the first pass, it needs to stay valid.
The 0.786 level sits at roughly $58.20 on the chart, with the 0.886 further down near $56.80. Price never reached either. A deep correction that holds above the 0.786 is still a normal corrective retracement of the prior advance.
What confirms that the W-X-Y is finished?
Two things matter here. First, price is curling higher after the wave (c) low, with a slow, grinding recovery rather than a vertical spike. Second, it has broken above the falling trendline drawn across the wave (c) decline.
That trendline break is the first real evidence the downward sequence is exhausted. It is not proof. It is a reason to treat the bullish count as the primary scenario and watch how the next pullback behaves.
What is the next move for silver?
I want a pullback first, then another push toward $64. The blue arrow on the chart shows exactly that path: a dip back toward the $60 to $60.50 region, then a rally into the mid-$60s.
The 0.618 level sits near $61 and is the first obstacle on the way up. A pullback that holds above the $58.50 low keeps the count intact. A new high above $64 would confirm that the correction is behind us and a new advance is underway.
What invalidates this XAGUSD count?
A break below $58.50 kills this count. No reinterpretation, no hoping. If price trades under that low, wave (c) of Y was not the end and the correction extends, with the 0.886 area near $56.80 becoming the next reference.
A defined invalidation is the whole point of working with a wave count. It tells you when the idea is wrong instead of letting you argue with the market.
