Elliott Wave Expanded Flat Theory

Elliott Wave Flat is a 3 wave corrective pattern which could often be seen in the market nowadays. Inner subdivision is labeled as A,B,C , with inner 3,3,5 structure. Waves A and B have forms of corrective structures like zigzag, flat, double three or triple three. Third wave C is always 5 waves structure, either motive impulse or ending diagonal pattern. It’s important to notice that in Flat Pattern wave B is very deep, but completes above the start point of wave A.  Wave C ends above the ending point of wave A . Wave C of  Flat completes usually between 1.00 to 1.236 Fibonacci extension of A related to B, but sometimes it could go up to 1.618 fibs ext.

Russell 4Hour Elliott Wave Analysis 9.20.2021.

Recovery made 5 waves in ((c)) leg and completed  Elliott Wave Flat Structure at 2312.5 high. As far as the price stays below that high, Russell can be giving us next leg down.  We expect further separation from the current 2312.5 peak and ideally break of  07/19 lw low which will confirm next leg down is in progress.
