Juan Maldonado Elliott Wave Street

In the weekly video, we've embarked on a comprehensive journey into Elliott Wave analysis, focusing on the leading instruments like EUR/USD, AUD/USD, EUR/GBP, and SPX500. As you navigate the market's ebb and flow, understanding the internal wave structures can provide crucial insights, paving the way for informed trading decisions.

The significance of the zigzag

The Elliott Wave theory, rich in patterns and intricate structures, boasts of the 'Zigzag' as one of its most pivotal components. This three-wave sequence pattern stands out for several reasons:

Recognizability: Even for beginners, spotting a zigzag amidst market noise becomes relatively easy once they understand its characteristics.
Trade triggers: A classic zigzag, where Wave C lingers close to the end of Wave A and loses momentum in comparison, becomes a clear trade trigger. It's akin to the market laying down a red carpet, inviting traders to walk down a probable profit path.
Misleading zigzags: Not every zigzag is a green flag. When Wave C accelerates significantly faster than Wave A, it's a tell-tale sign that traders should exercise caution and likely avoid a position.

Through real-world examples and live charts, our video elucidates the concept of the zigzag pattern, ensuring you're equipped to spot these formations in live market conditions. Additionally, we shed light on the week's potential trading setups, ensuring you're primed to take advantage of fundamental market movements.

Happy trading!
