Triangle
Triangle in Elliott Wave Theory: A five-wave sideways corrective pattern labeled A-B-C-D-E. Triangles form converging (contracting), diverging (expanding), or running patterns. They appear exclusively in Wave 4 or Wave B position and always precede the final wave of the larger pattern.
What Triangle Means
A five-wave sideways corrective pattern labeled A-B-C-D-E. Triangles form converging (contracting), diverging (expanding), or running patterns. They appear exclusively in Wave 4 or Wave B position and always precede the final wave of the larger pattern.
A contracting triangle in Wave 4: each swing (A through E) gets progressively smaller, and the breakout from Wave E launches the final Wave 5.
Where You'll See It
Triangle appears regularly in Artavest's weekly wave-count analysis across 108 US stocks and ETFs. It's part of the corrective family of Elliott Wave concepts and shows up most often when analysts are decoding a 3-wave correction inside a larger impulse — A-B-C, zigzag, flat, or triangle.
