medium · Elliott Wave Theory motive

During a 5-wave rally, an analyst notes that Wave 1 and Wave 3 are equal in length.

According to Elliott Wave guidelines, what should be expected for Wave 5?

  1. Wave 5 must be shorter than Wave 3 in order to satisfy the strict cardinal Rule 2 for valid impulse proportions.
  2. Wave 5 will be a Truncated Fifth, compensating for the accumulated strength already shown in Waves 1 through 3.
  3. Wave 5 is likely to be the extended wave, potentially reaching a 1.618 multiple of the net distance of Waves 1 through 3.
  4. Wave 5 will end up equal in length to both Wave 1 and Wave 3, per the classic guideline of alternating wave equality often seen.
