Hello, TradingView Community!
Today, I want to talk about a critical structure in Elliott Wave Theory: The Bullish Flat. This pattern is part of the 'corrective wave' group and often signifies a temporary interruption of an uptrend. Understanding its structure can be very beneficial for both swing and day traders.
Here's an example chart showing a Bullish Flat.
Structure:
A Bullish Flat consists of three waves - labeled A, B, and C. Waves A and B consist of 3 sub-waves each, and Wave C consists of 5 sub-waves.
Wave A:
The first wave, A, is a corrective move to the downside. However, it's typically not as intense as a primary trend reversal.
Wave B:
Then comes wave B, which is an upside move. Interestingly, in a flat, wave B ends about the same level that the preceding impulse wave ended, meaning it retraces almost 100% of Wave A.
Wave C:
Finally, Wave C comes into play, another move to the downside, with a structure similar to an impulse wave. It ends slightly below the end of wave A before the overall uptrend resumes.
Identifying these structures accurately can offer profitable trading opportunities. By entering long positions at the end of Wave C, traders can capture the next impulse wave in the prevailing bullish trend.
Remember, no pattern provides a guaranteed outcome, so always use other forms of technical analysis for confirmation and manage your risk effectively.
