Zig Zag corrective pattern and the Case study of Natural GasHello Friends,
Here we had shared some major points and characteristics of Zigzag Correction pattern of Elliott waves.
Also we had shared real example chart study of zigzag pattern as a case study of NaturalGas, in which their are some principles and guidelines, which are perfectly going through in chart of NaturalGas.
Principles and Guidelines of Zigzag correction pattern
1) Zigzag correction pattern is a 3 waves structure which is labelled as A-B-C
3) Subdivision of wave A and C is 5 waves, either impulse or diagonal
4) Wave B can be any corrective structure as 3 subdivisions
5) Zigzag is a 5-3-5 correction structure
Fibonacci measurements
Wave B is always contra trend which generally retraces near 50% or 61.8% of wave A, and can also retraces up to 85.4% to 90% of wave A
Wave C can generally be expected near 100% of wave A, but sometimes if it is extended then it can show 123.6%, 138.2% or up to 161.8% also.
Sometimes if wave C is truncated then it can be near 61.8% of wave A.
But ,If wave C is going more than 161.8% of wave A, then we should be cautious, because it can also be some kind of impulse wave instead of corrective wave.
Case Study of Natural Gas
Natural Gas almost done as expected till now as per zigzag corrective pattern, it would not be wonder if it looks to be doing a double correction higher in wave (ii) bounce & can see 2.786 level sometimes in next week before turning down as a wave (iii) of 5 of (C), On lower time frame if it doesn't crosses high of March 2023, then it can show some down moves to complete wave (iii), (iv) and (v) of 5 of bigger degree wave (C).
After big correction as zigzag pattern which had already reached extreme levels in wave (C) which is more then 123.6% of wave (A), so now anytime it can start fresh impulse moves towards north directions, so instead of finding selling opportunities, one should try to find buying opportunities only after confirmation, and confirmation is price crossing high of march 2023, once its crossed peak point of march 2023 then no selling is recommended, then its only buy on dips with invalidation levels of Low of April 2023 as a stoploss, because it must be ending the bigger correction from last year peak, and can be taken as fresh impulse is started.

Zigzag
Real Time example - TRIPLE ZIGZAG (Bullish)Let's talk about each waves of Triple Zigzag:
Wave W (5-3-5) impulsive: ((a)) = ((b)) at 17709 which is close actual low 17613. Its a sharp zigzag.
Wave 1X corrective: Wave ((b)) 3-3-5, Running Correction which is little complex.
Wave Y (5-3-5) sharp: ((a)) = 0.786 ((b)) at 16824 which, is very near actual low as 16782
Our first question is, What is the Zigzag?
In chart, a, b and c is zigzag which very easy to understand by picture.
Its really easy to understand this wave counting if you read just below basic rules and Characteristics of Zigzags. The main question, What is going on in nifty? This Triple Zigzag is bullish pattern. Really market is follow this pattern? - Wait and Watch...
Characteristics of Zigzags:
— labeled a-b-c
— subdivide 5-3-5
— typically occur in wave 2 position
— ‘b’ wave does not approach ‘a’ wave origin
— ‘c’ wave ends beyond ‘a’ wave extreme
— belong to ‘sharp'
Rules:
- Wave A always subdivides into an impulse or leading diagonal.
-Wave A always subdivides into an impulse or leading diagonal.
- Wave B always subdivides into a zigzag, flat, triangle or combination.
- Wave C always subdivides into an impulse or diagonal triangle.
We can use channel for zigzag. The Wave C often ends upon reaching the extreme of the channel.
