Each of the five sub-waves (A–E) in a triangle is a 3-wave corrective structure. Wave A may not be a triangle; waves B–E may be any corrective form including a triangle. The E wave commonly overshoots the boundary.
Description
The internal structure of triangle sub-waves follows specific guidelines. Most sub-waves are zigzags or double zigzags. The A wave is the most constrained — it cannot itself be a triangle. Waves B through E may be any corrective form, including a nested triangle. The E wave is particularly prone to overshooting the E boundary line before reversing.
Key Points
- All sub-waves (A–E) are 3-wave corrective structures
- Most common sub-wave forms: zigzag and double zigzag
- Wave A: any corrective form except triangle
- Waves B–E: any corrective form, including triangle (nested triangle is possible)
- E wave: commonly overshoots (or undershoots) the E boundary line — do not be misled by the overshoot
- Triangles often take the longest time among all corrective patterns — patience is required
