hard · Elliott Wave Theory corrective

If instead wave C extends to 1.618×A, where does C terminate relative to the START of the zigzag, and which secondary check best validates that C is a complete five rather than an extension still in progress?

1. C ends 30.9 points beyond the zigzag's start; validate completion by confirming wave 5 of C shows momentum divergence and the channel's lower line is reached after a clean 5-wave subdivision
2. C ends 80.9 points beyond the zigzag's start; validate by checking that wave 3 of C is the shortest of its five sub-waves, since properly extended C waves always shorten their third leg substantially
3. C ends exactly at the zigzag's start, net zero, which validates completion because a 1.618 extension of wave C is claimed to always fully retrace the entire prior advance back to origin
4. C ends 50 points beyond the zigzag's start; validate by confirming that C equals A in exact price length, since that strict equality is the defining requirement present in every valid zigzag correction
