The XAUUSD 30-minute chart shows a clear Elliott Wave structure transitioning from a completed impulsive rally into a corrective phase. The strong bullish move forms a five-wave impulse, with wave (3) extending sharply, indicating strong momentum from institutional buying. After the peak, price begins a corrective sequence labeled A-B-C, forming a downward channel that reflects profit-taking and short-term bearish pressure.
Currently, price is approaching a key demand zone (highlighted area), which aligns with wave (5) completion of the corrective structure. This suggests a potential bullish reversal if buyers step in at this liquidity zone. The projected path shows a short-term dip followed by a strong impulsive move upward, indicating the start of a new bullish cycle.
