EXTENDED WAVES

An extended wave applies to the longest wave in any of the three impulse waves. Extension can be expected to occur in only one of the three impulse waves, either in Wave 1, 3, or 5. A further extension may also occur in the extending wave itself.

In any extension, the Rule of Equality applies to the two non-extended waves; that is, they tend to be either equal in price or related by a Fibonacci ratio, or both. Figures 4.6 to 4.8 show examples of extended waves.

FIGURE 4.6 Wave (1) is extended where the Rule of Equality applies to Wave (3) and Wave (5).
