A pattern-recognition technique published by Ralph Nelson Elliott in 1939 which states that the market follows a rhythm or pattern of five waves up and three waves down to form a complete cycle of eight waves. The five waves up are called impulse waves and the three waves down are referred to as corrective waves. In FX we apply this wave principle to bear markets as well as bull markets, where as the five waves down are impulsive and the three waves up are corrective.
Used in the context of general equities. Technical market timing strategy that predicts price movements based on historical price wave patterns and their underlying psychological motives. Robert Prechter is a famous Elliott Wave Theorist.

Elliott Wave Theory goes beyond traditional charting techniques by providing an overall view of market movement that helps explain why and where certain chart patterns develop. The three major aspects of wave analysis are pattern, time and ratio. The basic Elliott pattern consists of a 5-wave uptrend followed by a three-wave correction. Each "leg" of a wave in turn consists of smaller waves. Elliott waves can be used to successfully define where the market currently is in relation to "the big picture" is unreliable for short term trading.
