Like a restaurant menu before you've had drinks, everything looks good. Shall I have the beef, chicken, fish or shrimp? The same is The Fourth Wave Conundrum in the Minor wave 4. All we know is that if the larger move downward is a diagonal, as per yesterday's post, then, all of Minor wave 4 'must' be a zigzag. But how it forms that zigzag is up to the market. Here are some possibilities.
A lot depends on if the (a) wave up forms five clear waves, or only three clear waves, or if it forms a diagonal.
Then, it depends on if the (b) wave forms a zigzag, a Flat, or a triangle. The only thing we know for sure is that the low absolutely may not be exceeded for a zigzag to form properly.
Best of luck working this one out. Have a good start to the evening.
P.S. A test is included: let's see who gets it.

so we are going to take out some more highs before lows.... whats the probability? you must think > 50% but how high is it? this is precisely what EW is about, correct?
ReplyDeleteProbably 70 to 80%. TJ.
DeleteIf 4 "must" be a zig-zag, I eould think the A wave "must" be a 5.
ReplyDeleteFinally! Good job! A flat is a Flat and is distinctly different than a zigzag! Thanks for taking the quiz, passing the quiz, and helping others to learn!

Very welcome...you do far more teaching than I could ever hope to....
DeleteRBOB - TJ, a question if/when time permits. Thks!

Based on this weekly chart and 'degree labeling' you can argue that is indeed part of a corrective wave series (I can't tell which until/unless there is a clear 'five-down'). Note that Intermediate (2) wave is actually larger price-wise than Minor B, so the degree of the wave at that point must be larger for (2) than for B. Intermediate is larger than Minor; so a diagonal to the top fits. And a correction follows, which is then deeper than all prior corrections.

Just a reminder to 'always' start your analysis with the lowest major low or higher major high, just as Neely teaches. Try not to pick a portion of it unless you have done the longer-term first.

Also, I just noticed that wave ((iv)) of A, was a beautiful little triangle - now shown in green - which predicted the demise of the A wave.

In fact, the triangle was defeated lower, as the Minor B wave took over. And the result is excellent alternation in the A wave impulse.

There's a problem with the 2 upper counts though. The 3636-3945 up move of June counts best as a 3-wave sequence, it even has a triangle in the middle that can't be counted as wave 2.
ReplyDeleteAs the Flat was eliminated beforehand the only count remaining out of the 4 presented is the one with wave (a) as a Diagonal.
Am I missing something here? Sure if one gets creative the up move of June can be treated as 5 waves (somehow decomposing the triangle into something else) but that seems forced to me.
I am not trying to antagonize here, only trying to learn as everyone else.
Thanks,
As the link below, shows, I tend to agree perfectly, and degree labeling and the 1.272 extension tend to add to the evidence.

But, Elliott wave is probability based and let's say it ups the odds greatly, probably to ~85%. But what if it's a very stubby 1 at the low, and the triangle is in a fourth wave position? Unlikely, but that would be the other 15%. Then, the whole move would be one-wave-up, as an alternate.
I certainly have been incorrect before, and one needs to ask the question, "what might others see?"
TJ
Thanks for the reply! That clarifies things perfectly.

There is a head and shoulders on the 10-year yield (TNX). If triggered it would measure to 2% so I have no idea what to make of that
