A 1930 discovery that changed the way people looked at markets

American accountant Ralph Nelson Elliott was forced into early retirement due to an ailment and decided to study the behaviour of the stock market to occupy his time.

Elliott examined yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, and half-hourly charts of the various indexes covering 75 years of stock market behavior. And found out that the market follows a particular pattern of waves, which was predictable.

Did it work though?

Well, after the Dow Jones had declined throughout early 1935, and people had the 1929-32 crash fresh in their minds, Elliott stated that as per his theory, “All averages are making final bottom”. And soon after, the 13-month-long correction was over and the market immediately turned to the upside.

Thanks to Elliott's groundbreaking research, the Wave Theory is now utilized by thousands of institutional portfolio managers, traders, and private investors in their investment decisions.

Now, let’s learn about how to draw and interpret and Elliott Wave.

Understanding the Elliott Wave theory

The Elliott Wave states that human behavior causes stock market prices to trend and reverse in recognizable patterns. These patterns are repetitive in form, but not in time or amplitude.

Called ‘Elliott Waves’, one complete cycle of the structured progression consists of 8 waves divided into 2 phases,

1. Impulse Waves: Made up of 5 waves (1,2,3,4,5), impulse waves move in the same direction as the larger trend.

2. Corrective Waves: Made up of 3 waves (A, B, and C), impulse waves move in the same direction as the larger trend.

Depending on the larger trend being bullish or bearish, one entire cycle looks like this:

These Elliott waves link together to form larger versions of those same patterns. They, in turn, link to form identical patterns of the next larger size, and so on, something like this:
