easy · Elliott Wave Theory
A commodity price moves from $80 to $96, pullbacks to $88, then rallies to $118.

- Swings only move in one direction, while waves can move sideways.
- Waves are only valid if they occur on a Daily time frame.
- Swings are measured in points, while waves are only measured in percentages.
- Waves must satisfy specific structural rules and internal sub-wave counts.
