A correct Elliott wave "count" must observe three rules:
- Wave 2 always retraces less than 100% of wave 1.
- Wave 3 cannot be the shortest of the three impulse waves, namely waves 1, 3 and 5.
- Wave 4 does not overlap with the price territory of wave 1, except in the rare case of a diagonal triangle.
This Three "counts" are getting fullfilled uptill if not today's low of 24/05/2012 if maintainted no surprise if we head towards the new high
