Using these guidelines, you can estimate a possible ending point to wave C using the length of wave A.


Here's the four types of Elliott Wave Corrective Patterns:ġ: ABC ZIGZAG correction wave - 5,3,5 internal wave form.Ģ: ABC FLAT corrections - 3,3,5 internal wave form, regular and irregular types.ģ: TRIANGLE ABCDE corrections - 3,3,3,3,3 internal wave form.Ĥ: COMBINATION corrections - additive structure made from multiple simple corrections.Ī simple three-wave correction pattern labeled A-B-C, also called a ZIGZAG correction. I'm going to show you how to identify, and navigate them using the Elliott wave rules, in this guide. In total there are 13 major Elliott wave patterns.

You will be able to forecast the timing and possible price targets, where the market could turn into a new trend. If you follow the rules and guidelines of Elliott wave patterns. Rule 5: Corrections are always fully retraced by the resuming impulsive trend. Rule 4: Wave 2 will bottom in the price territory of the previous 4th wave of one lower degree. Rule 3: Wave alteration - If wave 2 is a deep correction - then wave 4 will be shallow. Rule 2: Wave 4 must not cross into the price territory of wave 1 in an impulse wave, but Wave 4 can overlap wave 1 in a leading or ending diagonal wave. Rule 1: Wave 2 correction must not retrace more than 100% of wave 1. Here they are:Įlliott Wave Correction Rules and Characteristics. During an Elliott Wave correction pattern the price takes a long time to do absolutely nothing! Correction patterns are hard to track, but these patterns do follow rules.
