đź“ŤPart #6, FLAT - Corrective Waves-Simple-Sideways corrections.
👩🏻‍💻Hello!
In this lecture, we will cover one of the options for corrective cycles, namely Flat.
Let's now look at the 'flat' separately as a stand-alone correctional structure. I remind you, 'flat' and 'plane' are essentially the same thing. So, the 'flat' always has a three-wave structure, and it looks like this: 3-3-5. That is, you can identify it by the third wave "C", which always has a five-wave structure. But it can also be a Ending diagonal. And all this will be within the scope of a regular 'flat' or 'plane'. If we draw a line from the base of wave A and the maximum of wave "B", and then also draw a line or level from the end of wave "A" and the end of wave "C", we will get parallel lines, which is exactly what the name Flat hints. And this wave "B" should roll back approximately 90% of wave "A" for everything to look nice. But not always, because there is also an expanded 'flat' and a running 'flat', whichever you prefer.
Well then. Let's look at the main rules and guiding norms for flats.
âś…General rulesâś…
đź“ŤA flat always subdivides into three waves.
đź“ŤWave "A" is always a zigzag, flat or combination.
đź“ŤWave "B" is always a zigzag.
đź“ŤWave "C" is always an impulse or a ending diagonal.
âś…General guidelinesâś…
đź“ŤWave "A" is usually a zigzag.
âś…Regular Flatâś…
Rules
đź“ŤWave "B" never goes beyond beyond the start of wave "A".
đź“ŤWave "B" always retraces at least 90 percent of wave "A".
đź“ŤWave "C" always ends past the end of wave "A".
Guidelines
đź“ŤThe rarest type of flat correction.
âś…Expanded Flatâś…
Rules
đź“ŤWave "B" always ends after the start of wave "A".
đź“ŤWave "C" always ends past the end of wave "A".
Guidelines
📍Wave "B" usually retraces 123.6 or 138.2% of wave "A", less often — 161.8%.
📍Wave "C" is often equal to 161.8% of wave "A", less often — 261.8%.
đź“ŤThe most common type of flat correction.
âś…Running Flatâś…
Rules
đź“ŤWave "B" always ends after the start of wave "A".
đź“ŤWave "C" never goes beyond the end of wave "A".
Guidelines
đź“ŤWithin such a flat wave "B" should end well above the origin of wave "A" and that means wave "C" might reflect a 61.8% or even a 100% relationship to wave "A".
đź“ŤA running flat indicates that the forces in the direction of the larger trend at next higher degree are powerful.
đź“ŤWave "B" is usually no more than twice the length of wave "A".
Keep in mind that a running flat is rare.
