Elliott wave Principle : Triangles There are 3 Types of Triangle,
Triangle forms in Corrective waves,
Triangle occurs in wave 2, 4 & B,
1) Contracting Triangle
+ Always Subdivides Into Five waves
+ at least four waves among wave A, B, C, D, each subdivide
into a Zigzag or Zigzag Combination.
+wave C never moves Beyond the end of wave A, wave D never moves beyond the end of waves b and D converges with a line connecting the eds of waves A and C.
+A triangle never has more than one Complex sun wave, in which case it is always a zigzag combination or a triangle.
2) Expanding Triangle :
most Rules are same as for contracting triangle
differences is :
+ wave C, D and E each moves beyond the end of the preceding same- directional sub-wave.
+ sub-waves B, C and D each retrace the last 100%
but no more than 150 Percent of preceding sub-wave.
3) Barrier triangle :
+ a Barrier Triangle has the same characteristics as a contracting triangle expect that waves B and D end at essentially the same level.
We have yet to observe a 9-wave barrier triangle, implying that this form may not extend.
+ when wave 5 follows a triangle, it is typically either a brief, rapid movement or an exceptionally long extension.

USDCAD Bearish Outlook 4HRWill be on the lookout for shorts on USDCAD.
Get ready for the next wave down.
Just ignore if price continues to correct higher.
Price could continue to correct for much longer,
but so long as it does that will not change the overall bearish outlook.
Trade with care my friends :)
GBPNZD shorting opportunity Price has failed to break 1.74800 for wave 3, 5, and B. Heavy consolidation during Wave 5 which was the last chance for buyers to reach higher highs, however price halted and broke the bullish Trend-Line. For B we had confluence with a retest of the broken trend-line and a retest of the supply zone. Looking to see how price reacts to the lower zone, if we get a break of the lowest Trend-line that would validate the bearish move a bit more. Ideal time to sell would be a break of the lower zone.
S&P 500 elliot wave correction Looking at a 5 day price chart we see price may have formed a top at the 161.8 fibonnacci extension level-which began from the 2009 low, and followed elliot wave theory up to the 5th wave. Now looking for the corrective move to play out, possibly in the illustrated form.
bitcoin uptrend correction21/02/16 mini crash might be an effect of the euphoria of the previous day and the consensus news. the 15 dollars fall was a correction , the uptrend is not broken and might go near 500 USD in the next 3-4 days . with all thoses good news ( consensus etc etc ) and the global economy issues ( china and europe i am waching you ) i dont see any reason for the price to go down under 400 USD in the near future.
this is my first analysis on tradingview , it is quite simple and optimistic but also pragmatic.
2 impulses that can make a lot of differenceIn this chart i have contrasted 2 ways to count the recent gold's decline.
In blue there is the wave count expressed by the EWI, that went open public in a video released the last week.
In black is my view of the wave count (I hold from at least since year or so that this decline have a very significant 3)rd wave extension)
Both wave counts have the their's weak points and how seriously each analysis consider it's weak points makes the difference.
Of course, I'm not claiming be the best doing this, do not get me wrong, my only intention with this post is to explain why and how using the very same technique 2 analyst can have in a major agreement (both of us think of this as impulsive decline), minor differences that could lead for moments to different perspectives.
Why did I choose the black count? mostly because an impulse that you can see at the beginning of the decline.
That remarked impulsive after my 2) label, is one of the weak points for the EWI wave count. They integrated this impulse in a very long X wave to explain it as part of a ZIGZAG. The only problem i have to see EWI's ZIGZAG is that it's c)) wave ends with no great difference from the end of it's a)) wave, think some how uncommon, besides the fact that in a combination the connecting waves (the x's) do not tend to be longer than the corrective patterns (like w, y and z).
My weak point is the 5 of 3) that was kind of tight it's end vs the 3 wave. with some broker's charts even appear as truncated.
And the weak point for both and that could lead to a very needed alternative count if continues is the last remarked impulse (with light gray) that shows a kind of impulse. Is not totally clear as an impulse but could be. And there is where both counts could get more different.
