THREE-WAVE STRUCTURES

In a three-wave structure, the waves are called A, B, and C. Corrections are always counted as A-B-C. The three-wave structure, A-B-C, corrects the movement of the five-wave structure. Wave B retraces the movement of Wave A.

Price movements in a three-wave structure can be further subdivided into smaller waves. Wave A can be subdivided into five-wave movements or three-wave movements. Wave B can only be subdivided into three waves and Wave C can only be subdivided into five wave movements or a diagonal triangle pattern. The formation of an A-B-C correction will therefore consist of two main patterns: A3-B3-C5 or A5-B3-C5 (see Figure 4.9 and Figure 4.10).

Wave A is the first corrective movement of an A-B-C correction. If Wave A is subdivided into a three-wave structure, then it signals the beginning of an A3-B3-C5 corrective formation. Generally, in an A3-B3-C5 formation, Wave B should do one of the following:

  • Retrace approximately the entire Wave A in the case of a normal flat.
  • Retrace approximately 61.8 percent of Wave A if Wave B is a failure.
  • Retrace beyond the beginning of Wave A by ...
