Below is a another way of thinking of the Elliott 5 wave pattern, one might find useful.  It deals with what is really causing the pattern to unfold in the first place.

UP MOVE (the opposite would be true of a down move of course)

The first wave is usually a weak rally with only a small percentage of traders participating. (WAVE 1)

The traders take profits and a decline occurs, sometimes vicious.  However this down move ends without making a new low. (WAVE 2)

The market turns for another rally, the initial stages of wave 3 are slow and it approaches the top of the previous wave 1 rally.  The traders are not convinced of the uptrend and use the rally to add shorts.  For their analysis to be correct the market should not take out the top of the previous wave 1 rally.  There are a lot of stops above the top of the prior wave 1 rally.  Wave 3 picks up steam and takes out the top of wave 1, taking out the stops above.  Depending on the number of stops, gaps occur and are left open.  Gaps at this point are a good indication that a wave 3 is in progress.  After taking out the stops the wave 3 begins to catch the attention of traders.  Traders who were initially long from the bottom finally have something to cheer about.  They may even decide to add to their positions.  The traders who where stopped out, after being upset for a while, decide the trend is up and they decide to buy the rally.  All this sudden interest fuels the wave 3 rally.  This is the time when the majority of traders have decided the trend is up.  Finally all the buying frenzy dies down and wave 3 come to a halt. (WAVE 3)

Progit taking now begins to set in.  Traders who were long from the lows decide to take profits.  They have a good trade and start to protect profits.  This causes a pullback in price.  Where wave 2 was a vicious sell-off, wave 4 is an orderly profit taking decline and typically an A-B-C zig ?zag pattern.  While profit taking is in progress, a majority of traders still convinced the trend is up.  They were either late in getting in on this rally, or they have been on the sideline.  They consider this profit taking decline as an excellent place to buy in and get even. (WAVE 4)

At the end of wave 4 more buying sets in and the prices start to rally again.  The wave 5 rally lacks enthusiasm and the strength found in the wave 3 rally.  The wave 5 advance is caused by a small group of traders.  While the prices make a new high above the top of wave 3, the rate of power or strength inside the wave 5 advance is very small when compaired to the wave 3 advance.   Finally when this lackluster buying interest dies out, the market tops out and enters a new phase. (WAVE 5)

Not a bad idea to figure out where a stock or commodity is in this process?

The meaning of the words greed and fear and hope do not change but
the basis for them does change. For instance. In 1929 men were
terrified of losing their jobs and their main hope was to have a job
they could keep for the rest of their working life. People purchased
what they could pay for out of pocket and buying things like home
appliances on credit was unheard of. You had what you could pay for
and if you couldn't pay for it, you couldn't afford it. As mentioned
earlier, the working class were mostly not in the markets and cared
little about them. There was a higher degree of honor among people
and by businesses. Success in life was measured by providing a roof
over your families' head, food to eat and clothes to wear. Multiple
autos, boats, vacation homes, the latest inventions and retirement
accounts were for the rich. Compare those times with today. Compare
the thinking of Americans then with the thinking of Americans
today. Compare the practices of people then and now. Compare the
honesty, honor and integrity of people then and now. Compare the
financial responsibility of people then and now. Compare waiting for
what you want until you can afford it with having to have it all and
have it now attitudes present today. People job jumping just to make
a few more dollars. Today is about today, yesteryear was about tomorrow.

Now, tell me that all those things above do not affect the stock
market. Tell me that the vastly different attitudes about life and
money do not affect what reaction people had then and have today to
the same situations .. the same news... the same circumstances. Add
in the fact that a large percentage of the working class are in
today's markets through mutual funds or even directly. Factor all of
these things into the mental perspective of the average investor then
and now and tell me you don't think it changes the meanings of the
words fear, greed and hope. Those words are totally redefined and so
are the results they bring about in the markets. Charts showing what
the investor class did 80 years have little to do with what people
will do today. Even if the circumstances are the same. That is why
someone like Ira uses his 35 years of experience to buffer, mitigate
and massage his tech work.
