During these periods in which Elliott Wave analysis is the most difficult, do nothing. It is not necessary to forecast all the time unless you are in the business, like I am. So just wait for the pattern to clear and then take action. Some analysts get annoyed at this. It doesn't work in bear markets.
Bear markets are what they are.
If someone objects to what the market is , then he is arguing with nature and the reality of markets. You can form some useful opinions about corrections. The ultimate price goal of a fourth wave correction, for instance, can be forecast with more accuracy than most impulses. What's more, it is the Wave Principle that tells the analyst when to expect less predictability. That the Wave Principle recognizes the differences in market behavior is one of its greatest strengths.
