The Elliott Wave Principle
The Elliott Wave Principle describes market movements as five motive waves followed by three corrective waves.
Motive Waves
Waves 1, 3, and 5 move in the trend direction while Waves 2 and 4 correct the advance.
Corrective Structure
After five motive waves, a three-wave corrective structure labeled A, B, and C develops.
Wave Relationships
Each wave has its own internal structure and complexity, varying by degree and time frame.
Cycle Positioning
Waves must be positioned within the larger market cycle to understand their role and significance.
Why Corrections Vary
Corrections do not always take the same shape, leading to different patterns like zigzags and flats.
The main idea
Markets follow a five-wave trend followed by three corrective waves in the Elliott Wave Principle.
