How to count waves and the Elliott waves

Irregular First Elliott Wave

 


The irregular first Elliott wave is a distinctive first wave that does not adhere to our Elliott wave count guidelines. It is often confuses Elliott wave traders who do not go into the minds of other wave traders.
Knowing that if one fails to recognize correctly the first wave, one may also label the subsequent waves incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid Elliott wave count errors, one must make sure one correctly identifies the first Elliott wave.

Bullish Irregular First Wave

The bullish irregular first Elliott wave often occurs after the IPO (Initial Public Offering). As a company is listed for the first time, the price often rises for a while before declining all the way to the 138.2% Fibonacci extensions reverse of the initial bullish move. (remember the word reverse or upside down). From that level, the price will begin a new rise that forms the bullish irregular first Elliott wave.

Sometimes, from the day one, the price will decline for a while until it found a support (without going up first). After that, the irregular bullish first Elliott wave will start, and it will rise above the initial offering price level.

Bearish Irregular First Wave

Similarly to the bullish one, the irregular bearish first wave begins after an IPO.
However, this time, the price starts to decline right away until it reaches a level where it turns bullish, and rises to the 138.2% Fibonacci extensions reverse (attention to the word reverse) of the initial bearish price-action. The next price-
action is usually the irregular first  bearish Elliott wave.

On other occasions, right from the get go, (Initial Public Offering price) the financial instrument will rise for a while then reverse to form the first irregular bearish wave.

Number One Characteristic Of
Irregular First Elliott Wave

The irregular first Elliott waves are regularly extended. One will easily spot
their internal waves (quite often).
The extensions are normal due to the rise in the bullish momentum
after the initial bearish trap (case of the irregular bullish 1st wave) or after the initial bullish trap (case of the irregular bearish first wave). Most irregular first waves are extended 1st waves. That is the number one characteristic of the irregular first Elliott waves.
