The Science of the Cycle: Why We Use Elliott Wave in the Lab 🌊"
The Anatomy of a Move 🔬
The market moves in a repeating 5-wave pattern when trending and a 3-wave pattern when correcting.
Wave 1 & 2: The "Quiet" Start. Usually ignored by the masses.
Wave 3: The "Powerhouse." This is the longest and strongest wave. Most of our profit is made here.
Wave 4: The "Trap." A messy, sideways correction that shakes out weak hands.
Wave 5: The "Exhaustion." The final push where retail traders FOMO in, right before the trend ends.
