Elliott Wave Theory: 15 commonly recognized pattern types
Elliott Wave Theory is a form of technical analysis that studies market price movements through recurring wave patterns driven by investor psychology. It is broadly divided into two major categories: Motive Waves and Corrective Waves.
- Motive Waves move in the direction of the larger trend and consist mainly of Impulse and Diagonal patterns.
- Corrective Waves move against the larger trend and consist of Zigzags, Flats, Triangles, and Combinations.
Using the classification discussed above, Elliott Wave can be organized into 2 major categories, 6 pattern branches, and 15 commonly recognized pattern types.
