Ranked by Pattern Confidence

Counts ending at the latest intermediate swing high, 7.45 on Sep 22, 2026. 96 labelings tested, 73 broke a hard rule, 12+ remain.

Hard-rule evidence: why 73 labelings were eliminated

36Wave 2 always retraces less than 100% of wave 1
7Contracting triangle: C ends short of A's end, D short of B's end, and E short of C's end
6Wave 4 always retraces less than 100% of wave 3
5Price after the last labeled point has not crossed a rule-based invalidation level
5Expanding triangle: C ends beyond A's end, D beyond B's end, and E beyond C's end
5Wave B ends short of the start of wave A (a zigzag is a sharp correction)

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.

Late in the trend: wave 5 usually comes on lighter volume than wave 3, and the sources advise reducing risk here rather than chasing.

NoteResearch scenario generated from Viridia's structural model. Not a recommendation.BasisIntermediate degree, daily bars through Oct 16, 2026. Followed for up to 60 sessions in the track record.MethodA setup restates the preferred count as a trade: the entry (the close, or the level where the correction in progress most often ends), the stop where the count is wrong (a rule level, or the end of a finished pattern), and the count's own Fibonacci target. Reward:risk is measured from the middle of the entry range. A setup needs reward:risk of at least 1 : 1. It is research output from the wave count, not a recommendation or a forecast.

Why this count is preferred · 6 met, 2 not met

Met

Wave 2 retraces 50% to 85.4% of wave 1
Wave 4 retraces 14.6% to 38.2% of wave 3, and no more than 50%
Waves 2 and 4 alternate: one sharp and deep, the other shallow or sideways
The count starts at the price extreme of the prior swing (a new trend begins where the old one ended)
Wave 3 moves faster (price per bar) than waves 1 and 5
Wave 3 has the heaviest average volume of the actionary waves

Not met

Wave 3 measures 161.8% or more of wave 1
Waves 2 and 4 alternate in time too: the shallower correction takes at least as long

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.
