Elliott Wave - General
General
When an initial pump then dump happens, how do you know if its a 1-2 or A-B?
- You must prepare by thinking the first impluse could be a 1 OR A, 2 OR B, and 3 OR C.
- A C has a much lower target then a 3 (use fib extensions)
- You either get a motive or corrective wave.
- Motive takes you in the primary wave of the overall movement
- Corrective takes you away from the primary trend.
Minimum target for a C wave is 0.618 with an ideal target between 1 and 1.236
Wave 1
Wave 2
- On the wave 2 retracement, you usually target the 0.5 to 0.786 due to it being a deeper pullback and people are still in denial / fear that the pull back is a fake out
Wave 3
- Minimum target of 1.618
Wave 4
Wave 5
Wave A
Wave B
Wave C
- Minimum target for a C wave is 0.618 with an ideal target between 1 and 1.236. If it extends past the 1.236, then it's most likely a wave 3
