The 5 Best Elliott Wave Indicators

In essence, Elliott Waves describes price movements as alternating between impulsive phases that establish the direction of the trend and corrective phases that oppose the direction of the trend. 

It is a form of technical analysis that is based on investors sentiment and psychology. In a complete Elliott Wave cycle, impulse waves have 5 waves and correction waves have 3 waves. 

The Elliott Wave Principle says that collective investor psychology, or crowd psychology, moves between optimism and pessimism in natural sequences. These mood swings create price patterns evidenced on a graph.
