The leading diagonal in the Elliott Wave is a sort of impulsive pattern, but it differs in shape and internal structure. However, the leading diagonal occurs in waves 1 or A, & it comes in the form of a contracting or expanding diagonal.
Leading diagonal is not in Elliott’s original work, but it appears enough times that we are convinced of its validity.
Rules & guidelines:
Its internal structure is similar to impulse wave 5-3-5-3-5. Wave 4 & wave 1 do overlap. The correction of wave 2 is 61.8% in length of wave 1 up to 99%, but it doesn’t go beyond the origin of wave 1. The leading diagonal is either a contracting diagonal or an expanding diagonal. Wave 3 can’t be the shortest. Wave 2 must not go beyond the origin of wave 1. Wave 4 must not go beyond the origin of wave 3. Wave 1 is the longest, while wave 5 is the shortest in contracting diagonal. On the contrary, wave 1 is the shortest, and wave 5 is the longest in expanding diagonal.
In which wave:
Leading Diagonals occur in waves 1 and A.
Internal Structure:
The five waves of the Leading diagonals show an internal structure of 5-3-5- 3-5.
Looking at the #banknifty structure we are either in wave 3 or wave c, which gives a potential target of 47,000.
