In Elliot wave, corrections are often in a channel with multiple overlapping waves. The rule states that these waves will eventually be completely retraced and that price will eventually go above the previous impulse wave. Assuming this is a second wave correction, second waves often retrace atleast 61.8% of the previous impulse wave( wave 1). This is the case with CND right now. Price is in a channel correction. How do we trade these corrections? It has pierced the 50% retracement level so we are looking at price to at least go to the 61.8% retracement. Aggressive entry would be to ladder (buy) into a position at the 50% 61.8 and 78.6% levels. A conservative approach would be to wait for confirmation of a reversal. The first sign is a small impulse wave in the opposite direction of the correction. Another sign is a strong break of channel with good volume. Another possible sign is a head and shoulders formation.
Each of these signs could be used as a reason to closely watch a pair, or could be used to enter into a trade.
