Elliott Wave 3 (bearish) Pattern — what it is and how to read it

Bearish pattern Classic and harmonic chart patterns

From the advance's last high a first decline (wave 1), then a wave 2 that retraces part of it without exceeding the high. A close below the wave-1 low = the 3rd down wave.

How to read it

A bearish structure is only a candidate until its trigger breaks down. StockFortuna draws the ▼ marker only on a red candle that closes below the trigger — a description, not a recommendation.
