Don't say you've been in the financial markets for more than a year and you still can't differentiate between these two waves!!!
Let me remind you again...
YOU WON'T BE A PROFESSIONAL ANALYST IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE STRUCTURE OF WAVES YOU ARE LOOKING AT.
I'll assume you're familiar with Elliott waves and Dow theory, so I won't go into detail about the difference between an impulsive wave and a correction.
Instead of that...
There are too many types of waves... But, you're good to go if you can understand only these 7 waves.
Impulsive waves

Corrective waves It may come as an ABC wave or an ABCDE. But, 99% of the time, it will give you one of these basic flag pattern.
Regular
Running
Expanding
Contracting
I will explain each of those patterns in detail if I see likes... Comment below. Which one should we start with? corrective or impulsive waves?
