Elliott Wave Theory, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in 1930s, is technical analysis theory proposing markets move in recognizable wave patterns. Complete wave cycle consists of 5 impulse waves (1-2-3-4-5) and 3 corrective waves (A-B-C), with each wave subdividing into smaller waves.
Impulse Wave: 5-3-5-3-5 structure Wave 1: Initial rise Wave 2: Pullback (cannot break below Wave 1 start) Wave 3: Main rally (typically longest and strongest) Wave 4: Pullback (cannot enter Wave 1 territory) Wave 5: Final rise Corrective Wave: 3-3-5 structure Wave A: Initial decline Wave B: Bounce Wave C: Final decline Fibonacci Relationships: Wave 2 typically retraces 50-61.8% of Wave 1 Wave 3 typically 1.618× Wave 1 Wave 4 typically retraces 38.2% of Wave 3
Impulse Wave: 5-wave rising structure
Corrective Wave: 3-wave pullback structure (zigzag, flat, triangle)
Extension: One impulse wave particularly long
Failure: Wave 5 fails to exceed Wave 3 high
Diagonal Triangle: Wedge structure
Wave 3 Confirmation: Breaks above Wave 1 high, strongest buy signal
Wave 4 Complete: Pullback ends, preparing for Wave 5 rise
Wave 5 Complete: Trend may end, preparing for correction
Wave C Complete: Correction ends, new trend may begin
Wave Failure: Signals trend reversal
Wave Extension: Trend particularly strong
Triangle Breakout: Correction ends, trend resumes
Elliott Wave Theory is one of most complex but comprehensive technical analysis methods. Wave theory helps traders understand market phase and predict future price targets. Wave 3 is typically strongest and longest wave, best trading opportunity. Wave theory closely integrates with Fibonacci ratios for predicting retracements and targets. Wave counting requires extensive experience; different analysts may have different wave counts. Many traders combine wave theory with other technical tools to improve accuracy.
