Elliott Wave Theory
COMPOUNDING ELLIOTT WAVE STRUCTURE
In Elliott’s theory, asset prices alternate between an impulsive (motive) phase and a corrective

I phase on all time scales of price.

5 Impulses are always subdivided into a set of five lower-degree waves, alternating again between
motive and corrective phases, so that waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulses, and waves 2 and 4 are

smaller corrective retraces of waves 1 and 3, respectively.
