Mastering Elliott Waves: Key Rules You Can't IgnoreEducational Idea : Understanding Key Principles of Elliott Wave Theory
Introduction
Elliott Wave Theory is a powerful tool used by traders to analyze market cycles and forecast future price movements. Understanding its core principles can help you make more informed trading decisions. In this article, we will delve into three fundamental principles of Elliott Wave Theory that cannot be violated. Remember, this video is purely for educational purposes and not intended as trading advice or tips.
1. Wave 2 Can Never Retrace More Than 100% of Wave 1
The first principle of Elliott Wave Theory is that Wave 2 can never retrace more than 100% of Wave 1. In other words, Wave 2 cannot go below the starting point of Wave 1. If it does, it invalidates the wave count and suggests that the initial impulse wave (Wave 1) was incorrectly identified. This rule ensures that Wave 2 is a correction wave within the larger trend and not a reversal of the trend itself.
Example Illustration:
- If Wave 1 starts at 100 and peaks at 150, Wave 2 can retrace to any level above 100, but not below it.
2. Wave 3 Can Never Be the Shortest Among All Three Impulse Waves (1-3-5)
The second principle states that Wave 3 can never be the shortest among the three impulse waves (Waves 1, 3, and 5). Typically, Wave 3 is the longest and most powerful wave, characterized by strong momentum and volume. If you find that Wave 3 is shorter than either Wave 1 or Wave 5, the wave count is incorrect, and you need to re-evaluate your analysis.
Example Illustration:
- If Wave 1 is 50 points and Wave 3 is only 30 points, while Wave 5 is 40 points, this violates the rule as Wave 3 is the shortest.
3. Wave 4 Cannot Enter the Territory of Wave 1 (Except in Diagonals & Triangles)
The third principle asserts that Wave 4 cannot enter the price territory of Wave 1. This means that the lowest point of Wave 4 should not overlap the highest point of Wave 1. An exception to this rule occurs in diagonal and triangle patterns, where some overlap is permissible. This rule helps maintain the integrity of the impulse wave structure.
Example Illustration:
- If Wave 1 peaks at $150 and Wave 4 retraces to $145, this overlaps and invalidates the wave count unless the pattern is a diagonal or triangle.
Conclusion
By following these principles, you can ensure that your Elliott Wave analysis remains robust and accurate, helping you navigate the complexities of the financial markets with greater confidence. Understanding and applying these key principles of Elliott Wave Theory can significantly enhance your market analysis and trading strategies. Keep these rules in mind as you study and apply Elliott Wave Theory in your trading journey. Remember, this video is purely for educational purposes and not any kind of trading advisory or tips.

ZK ANALYSIS (4H)It seems that we have an ABC on the chart, where waves A and B have been completed and a wave C is left.
The target can be the green box.
Closing a daily candle above the invalidation level will violate the analysis.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

Thank You
ZETA Update (4H)From where we put the red arrow on the chart, it looks like a correction pattern has started.
It looks like this is a diametric pattern that has now run out of wave C.
It can be expected that for wave D the price will reject upwards.
The targets are clear on the chart. Closing a candle below the invalidation level will violate the analysis
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management
When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry

Check the trend It is expected that the price will fluctuate in the current support range and then the beginning of an upward trend will be formed
Otherwise, it will be possible to continue the corrective process up to the green support range, and then expect a change in the trend.
If the price crosses the green support range, it will be possible to continue the corrective and downward trend
LISTA looks bearishFrom the left side of the chart, where the red arrow is, it looks like an ABC or more complex pattern is forming.
Wave B looks like a diametric that has ended.
Now the price seems to have entered wave C. Wave C is bearish.
Also, on the chart, we have a resistance flip range that the price has faked out twice and then rejected downwards.
Consolidation below this flip range will provide further confirmation for the drop.
Closing a daily candle above the invalidation level will violate the analysis
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

BNX ANALYSIS (1D)According to the structure that we see for the waves on BNX, a triangle and diametric can be seen that we are now inside the diametric. We seem to be at the end of wave E of this diametric.
In the red box, the E wave can end and the price enters the F wave, which is a bear wave.
Closing a daily candle above the invalidation level will violate this analysis and view.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

RUNE looks bullish (1D)RUNE appears to be creating a large triangle whose sides we have labeled abcde on the chart.
Now the candles are at a "Key Level" and only when the candles are at this level, the RUNE is actually bullish.
In the coming weeks, it is expected to reach the $7 channel and then correct for wave e of this triangle.
For this wave (wave d) the target is $7
When wave e is over, we can again look for buy/long positions.
Closing a daily candle below the invalidation level will violate this analysis and view.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

ENS looks bullishENS appears to have completed a large triangle and is under support and buying pressure from this triangle.
The green range is our POI and we are looking for buy/long positions in this range.
The target can be the red box.
Closing a daily candle above the invalidation level will violate the analysis.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

CTK looks bullishIt looks like we have a large diametric on the chart that we are now in the F wave selection.
By maintaining the green range, it can move up to complete the G wave.
Closing a daily candle below the invalidation level will violate the analysis.
