Explanations to the figures: For simplified wave analysis, a simple type of wave is used that combines 3 parts (A; B; C). Of such waves, all kinds of correction are composed and most of the impulses. On each considered time-frame the last, incomplete wave is analyzed.

The zones marked on the graphs are indicated by the calculation areas in which the probability of a change in the direction of motion is significantly increased. Arrows indicate the wave counting according to the technique used by the author. The solid background of the arrows indicates the structure formed, the dotted one indicates the expected wave motion.

Attention: The wave algorithm does not take into account the duration of the tool movements in time. The forecast is not a trading signal! To conduct a transaction, you need to confirm the signals used by your trading systems.
