$IYR (Real Estate) Weekly Elliott Wave analysis Sep 25th 2022

$IYR (Real Estate) Weekly Elliott Wave analysis Mar 26th 2023
As expected, the sell off unfolded in a 5 wave impulsive sequence in (A) which found buyers and bounced in a 3 swing (ABC) structure to reach the equal legs area at (B). The reaction from (B) in the shorter cycles is also showing 5 waves in red 1 with divergence. A bounce in red 2 should unfold but is expected to fail in 3 or 7 swings and continue lower towards the Blue Box area at 73.53 – 56.27.
There is a bullish sequence against March 2020 lows. We like to buy the dip in 7 swings at the blue box for a continuation to the upside as long as the March 2020 lows at $56.27 remains intact.
To conclude, we don’t believe in a crash but a correction is clearly unfolding and soon buyers will appear at the Blue Box area for a reaction higher. Once the reaction higher unfolds, we will be able to tell if the low is in place and continue higher or more downside will follow.
