Methodology

Elliott Wave theory describes price movement as a repeating sequence of impulse and corrective waves. The structure unfolds in predictable patterns, even if individual outcomes never are.

The five-wave impulse

The three-wave correction

What follows the five-wave impulse is a corrective phase, generally moving in three waves labeled A, B, and C. These corrections are where most participants get caught wrong-footed.

The framework is a lens, not a prediction. Markets do not owe anyone a textbook count.
