Ranked by Pattern Confidence

Counts ending at the latest minor swing high, 30.32 on Oct 5, 2026. 300 labelings tested, 190 broke a hard rule, 12+ remain.

Hard-rule evidence: why 190 labelings were eliminated

54Wave 2 always retraces less than 100% of wave 1
39Contracting triangle: C ends short of A's end, D short of B's end, and E short of C's end
27Wave 3 is never the shortest of waves 1, 3 and 5 (satisfied on either a price or a percentage basis)
16Contracting diagonal: wave 3 is shorter than wave 1, wave 5 shorter than wave 3, and wave 4 shorter than wave 2
16Wave B retraces at least 90% of wave A
12Wave 3 always travels beyond the end of wave 1

Method Every chain of 3–6 alternating pivots ending at the latest confirmed pivot is tested as each pattern; only counts with zero hard-rule failures are kept, then ranked by Pattern Confidence.

Method Targets come from the Fibonacci relationships the sources describe for the wave in progress, Elliott trend channels, the prior fourth wave of lesser degree, and 38.2–78.6% retracements of the latest swing. A zone is where two or more independent relationships fall within max(¼ ATR, 0.4%) of each other; strength counts them, weighting primary ratios and higher degrees. It is not a probability.

Track record: this setup reached its target first in 18% of 2,015 past cases, averaging −0.29R. It lost money in both halves of the replay (−0.22R, then −0.34R), so treat it with caution. Method

Close call: the alternate count scores within a few points of the preferred one.

Structure at a glance

Daily chart, as of Oct 16, 2026

Since the count's last pivot (30.32, Oct 5, 2026) price has moved −2.0%, the way the count expects.12 of 12 rule-valid counts expect the current move to be down.

Close call.The top two counts are within 3 points. Treat the structure as unresolved until one is invalidated.

A three-wave zigzag correction up looks complete, so the larger trend would normally resume down.

4 of 5 checks met

Why this count is preferred · 5 met, 1 not met

Met

Wave B retraces 38.2% to 85.4% of wave A
Wave B retraces under 90% of wave A (deeper B waves fit a flat better)
Wave C travels beyond the end of wave A (a failure is a truncation)
Wave C equals 61.8%, 100% or 123.6% of wave A
Alternate waves are related by a Fibonacci ratio within 5% (wave 5 to wave 1, C to A, or triangle legs at 61.8%), the more reliable kind of relationship

Not met

The count starts at the price extreme of the prior swing (a new trend begins where the old one ended)

MethodPattern Confidence = (guidelines met + 2) ÷ (guidelines measured + 4), from the rulebook's guidelines, Fibonacci tendencies and wave-personality checks (wave 3 speed and volume, wave 5 volume, alternation in time, a start at the prior extreme), alternate waves in Fibonacci ratio, and the rarity of running flats. The alternate is the best-ranked count that tells a different story. It ranks the rule-valid counts against each other; it is not a probability of any outcome.
