Basics of Elliott Wave Theory

640
Welcome to the world of Elliott Waves.
If you appreciate our charts, give us a quick 💜💜


Elliott Wave Theory revolves around three key elements:
  1. Impulse waves (in the direction of the trend)
  2. Corrective waves (against the trend)
  3. Wave degrees

Impulse waves consist of five sub-waves, while corrective waves comprise three. These waves form cycles, representing market psychology in action.

Key Rules of Elliott Waves

  1. Wave 2 cannot retrace beyond the starting point of wave 1.
  2. Wave 3 must be longer than both wave 1 and wave 5.
  3. Wave 4 cannot exceed the end point of wave 1.

Incorporating Fibonacci retracement levels refines Elliott Wave analysis. The fourth wave often hovers between 23.6%, 38.2% and 50%, while correction waves C often unfold within the 50% to 61.8% range.


Elliott Waves as Guides, Not Guarantees

It’s crucial to view tools like Elliott Wave Theory as guiding lights, not crystal balls. While they don’t assure foolproof predictions, they offer a framework to decipher market cycles. As patterns repeat, understanding market psychology becomes the trader’s edge.
