Ellioticians classify price movements in patterned waves that can indicate future targets and reversals. Waves moving with the trend are called impulse waves, whereas waves moving against the trend are called corrective waves. Elliott Wave Theory breaks down impulse waves and corrective waves into five primary and three secondary movement respectively. The eight movements comprise a complete wave cycle. Time frames can range from 15 minutes to decades.
The challenging part of Elliott Wave Theory is figuring out the relativity of the wave structure. A corrective wave, for instance, could be composed of sub impulsive and corrective waves. It is therefore crucial to determine the role of a wave in relation to the greater wave structure. Thus, the key to Elliot Waves is to be able to identify the wave context in question. Ellioticians also use Fibonacci retracements to predict the tops and bottoms of future waves.
There are many ways to find support and resistance price levels, but one good and fairly easy to use "Pivot Points". You find them using a "Pivot Calculator"
Why use IT ? They are a long proven, reliable, widely used predictive tool that helps take a lot of the guesswork out of determining exactly where and when to enter or reverse a market position. When entering a basic simple entry, Pivot levels help to you determine in what direction you should go. And they will go a long way to calm fears when trading in real cash.
Pivot points, a technique developed by floor traders, help us see where the price is relative to previous market action.
Pivot Points: Pivot point is a level in which the sentiment of the market changes from “bull” to “bear” or vice versa.
Pivot Points:
P = Pivot
R1 = Resistance level 1
S1 = Support level 1
R2 = Resistance level 2
S2 = Support level 2
R3 = Resistance Level 3
S3 = Support Level 3
