ELLIOTT WAVE STRUCTURE BASICS

here is some basic principles to discern between Corrective and Impulse. For corrective waves, it helps contextually to have a wave prior to measure the timing and retracement to. A simple way to tell the two apart is their retracements either do or do not intersect each other. A trending impulse wave will never have wave 4 enter wave 1's territory, and never surpasses 2. Otherwise the wave count is incorrect.

The left-most corrective waves (ABC) are generally classed as 2nd wave structures, and the corrective waves on the right (ABCDE) are generally wave 4s. important to actually do the homework and chart the waves, and the waves within the waves. With many revisions, will notice that waves in whole are congruent within the structures within, and so forth. aka fractals.
