A phenomenon where wave 5 of an impulse fails to exceed the end of wave 3. Also called truncation. Usually occurs after an exceptionally strong wave 3.

Extension in Corrective Waves

Extension-like phenomena also appear in corrective waves: triangles can develop 9 sub-waves, and double/triple zigzags extend the price correction.

Wave Degree

The concept of wave hierarchy in Elliott Wave Theory — classifying waves by their relative size. From smallest to largest: Sub-Minuette, Minuette, Minute, Minor, Intermediate, Primary, Cycle, Supercyc

Scenario Construction Procedure (Corrective Wave after Wave (1))

Elliott Wave Theory is an extension and refinement of Dow Theory. Dow Theory's primary trend, secondary reactions, and minor trends correspond to Elliott's degrees of waves.

Scenario Construction Procedure (After Wave (5) / Wave ① Completion)

A long economic cycle of approximately 50–60 years, identified by Russian economist Nikolai Kondratiev. Corresponds to the Supercycle degree in Elliott Wave Theory.
