Extended Fifth Wave

Extended Fifth Wave

These are always very tough but there are normally some pointers to guide or suggest that an extension may occur. The following example was provided in Chapter 3 and was of an extended Wave -v-of Wave (c) of Wave (v).

In Chapter 3 I provided Figure 3.13 as an example of an extended fifth wave (shown in Figure 4.10). The wave relationships are shown in Table 4.5. Note that the common Wave (c) projection at 105.43% offered a potential target at 1.1353, while the wave equality target in a Wave -v-extension was implied at 1.1349. Overall, the 66.7% target in Wave (v) was at 1.1361. Therefore, the general 1.1350-60 area was implied by several different measurements. Even the 385.4% projection in Wave -c-of Wave -v-pointed to 1.1349 also but would be observed as being able to fit that target. Attempting to predict such excessive moves is always accompanied by some uncertainties.
