If there are at least four wave degree counts lining up at a major point of trend reversal, If alternative count(s) vary from the Main Count (Bullish or Bearish) yet arrive at the same target
There does not have to be a Bullish and Bearish count. Allow price action to give you an idea highly likely that was the end of the trend for that count. The more degree’s lining up, the or projection, this means the trend has been identified however the wave count has not,

• Price then forms 3 corrective sub-wave moves up or down correcting the prior 5 impulsive

If the initial ABC correction following a 5 Wave impulse fails to break the
trendline of the lows that connect Wave 2 and Wave 4 of the prior Motive Phase,
there is a large chance of the correction turning into a complex correction. The
