Corrective Wave
{image = corrective_wave}
(Elliott Wave) Corrective waves are those that form corrective patterns against the main direction of the trend. For example, wave 2 corrects wave 1 and wave 4 corrects wave 3.

Corrective waves are three wave patterns. Corrective waves always unfold in the opposite direction to the larger trend - the next higher degree impulse or corrective wave.

Corrective waves tend to retrace prior impulse waves of the same degree where the ratio of the corrective wave to the impulse wave was a Fibonacci ratio-most commonly 38%, 50%, and 62%.

Corrective Wave forms are rather complicated, but basically we can categorize them into six major wave forms: ...

A corrective wave follows, composed of three sub-waves, and it moves against the trend of the next larger size (labeled as a, b, c).

Types of Corrective Wave Patterns
According to Elliott, there are 21 corrective ABC patterns ranging from simple to complex.
"Uh 21? I can't memorize all of that! The basics of the Elliott Wave Theory are already mind-blowing!" ...

Corrective waves Corrective waves retrace prior gains or interrupt the primary trend as opposed to motive waves that propel price movement. Corrective waves have a three wave structure or a combination of three waves.

There are five waves in the direction of the trend and then three 'corrective waves' (a '5-3' move) in a complete cycle, which then becomes 2 subdivisions of the next higher 5-3 cycle.

For a better understanding of the Corrective Wave phase, the Elliott theory delineates the following types of sub-waves that can make up the Corrective Wave: Zig-Zag, Flat, Irregular, Horizontal Triangle, Double Three, Triple Three.

The basic patterns in Elliott's theory is what is known as impulsive waves and corrective waves. An impulsive wave is made up of five sub waves and moves in the same direction as the larger price trend.

Importantly, impulse waves do not always indicate a price advance and a corrective wave does not always indicate a price decline. Instead, impulse waves move in the direction of the wave one higher degree.

It is believed that the corrective waves retrace the impulse waves in the save Fibonacci proportion. The common ratios are 38%, 50% and 62%.

* There are 5 waves in the direction of the main trend followed by 3 corrective waves (a.k.a. "5-3" count); Waves 1, 3, and 5 are called "impulse" waves while waves 2 and 4 are called "corrective" waves; Waves 1-5 can be either up or down; Waves a, b, ...

The last channel is depicted under the 2 corrective waves (2 and 4) and as a rule over the high. The upper line may have to be drawn over the top of wave if wave 3 is either unusually strong or an extended wave.

These five waves are inverted and then corrected by three waves usually called A, B and C instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The corrective wave A shows a decline during the corrective wave B via a lift and the corrective wave C down a new course.

Elliott wave traders can use Alligator as a helping indicator to identify impulsive and corrective waves: when price trades outside Alligator's mouth, the impulsive wave is forming, when price trades inside Alligator's mouth, ...

Additionally, there exists a series of three corrective waves that move against the trend. (See trend trading).

There are five waves in the direction of the main trend followed by three corrective waves (a "5-3" move).
A 5-3 move completes a cycle. This 5-3 move then becomes two subdivisions of the next higher 5-3 wave.

Wave B is a corrective wave to Wave A. Wave C is the final price move to complete the countertrend price move. Elliott wave followers study A and C waves for price ratios based on numbers from the Fibonacci series.

Practitioners use symbols for each wave to indicate both function and degree-numbers for motive waves, letters for corrective waves (shown in the highest of the three idealized cycles).

One general tendency expects the first corrective wave to drop about 38% of the next larger up trend, while the second falls to 50% and the final thrust all the way down to 62%.

ABC: Elliott wave terminology for a three-wave countertrend price movement. Wave A is the first price wave against the trend of the market. Wave B is a corrective wave to Wave A.

Over the years, I've discovered that most corrective wave patterns stay within one price channel (Figure 62).

According to Elliot, prices usually move in five waves in the direction of the larger trend (impulse waves) and in three waves into the opposite direction (corrective waves), and by analyzing these waves, ...

The underlying premise of the Elliott Wave Theory is that of building up and tearing down. He concluded that there are five price-change waves in the direction of the main trend followed by three corrective waves, often referred to as a ""5-3"" move.

easiest places to see this phenomenon at work is in the financial markets, where changing investor psychology is recorded via price movements. Price charts are said to develop wave patterns in a series of what are called impulse and corrective waves, ...
