Bonus3: EW psychology
In my opinion, very important to understand why waves, but also patterns, channels ... work the way they work !!
Wave 1: The crowd sentiments are decidedly bearish if it is happened just after a long recession trend. It progresses very silently and consistently and try to make base as majority of investor are not so confident to generate new position After
long down movement, it might be complete in weeks or months.
Wave 2:
The wave 2 beginning after wave 1 when investors are in
mood of profit booking. This wave is corrective in nature and against the main long-term trend. It is not extended beyond the wave 1. In normal case, it corrects up to the 0,618 or 0,786 of wave 1. In some of the case, it extends up to 1 point over wave 1. Because of good macroeconomic factors and other positive sentiments, there is a strong bull market. In this case, this wave is not correct more than 0,5 of the wave 1 but it gives time wise correction means price is not going down, but it is a consolidation mode which consumes the time before moving in line with main trend line.
Wave 3: This wave is very important because it covers more price length in main trend than any other impulsive wave.This wave 3 is usually sharper and faster of any waves with formation of gaps in. In mid-point of wave 3, the people also make position to take benefit of it . Wave 3 is usually bigger wave in length than any other wave. It normally exceeds at least 1.618 Fibextension of wave 1 and go beyond
up to 2.618 Fib extension of wave 1 and even go more. The main rule to correctly identify this wave is that wave is not being the shortest one.
Wave 4: Wave 4 is clearly corrective. The wave is normally retrace by 0,38 or 0,236 of . This wave is often frustrating because progress is lacking in main trend.
Wave 5: The new amatured investors who are now convinced that we are in bull run, they drive this wave further in main trend direction. it is final leg in dominant trend. The news of
all in all is very optimist and many momentum indicators showing divergences.
