Before we take a look at the real market example, let’s explain Elliott Wave Zigzag.
Elliott Wave Zigzag is the most popular corrective pattern in Elliott Wave theory . It’s made of 3 swings which have 5-3-5 inner structure. Inner swings are labeled as A,B,C where A =5 waves, B=3 waves and C=5 waves. That means A and C can be either impulsive waves or diagonals. (Leading Diagonal in case of wave A or Ending in case of wave C) . Waves A and C must meet all conditions of being 5 wave structure, such as: having RSI divergency between wave subdivisions, ideal Fibonacci extensions and ideal retracements.
OIL Elliott Wave 1 Hour Chart 7.8.2021
Current view suggests the commodity is doing 4 red correction that is unfolding as Elliott Wave Zig Zag Pattern. First leg ((a)) was very sharp decline, if we downgrade it we can see clear 5 waves. Then we got clear 3 waves bounce in ((b)), after which we got 5 waves down in ((c)). The price has already reached extremes from the peak. Equal legs ((a))-((b)) is marked as the blue box on the chart: 70.81-68.3 which is entry area for the buyers. As the main trend is bullish we expect buyers to appear for 3 waves bounce at least. Once bounce reaches 50 Fibs against the ((b)) black high, we will make long position risk free ( put SL at BE)
As our members know, Blue Boxes are no enemy areas , giving us 85% chance to get a bounce.

Buyers appeared right at the equal legs area and we got decent reaction. Members who took long trades should have made positions risk free. Current view suggests 4 red pull back is done at the 70.79 low. Short term cycle from the mentioned low, looks completed as 5 waves rally- ((i)) black. After 3 waves pull back in ((ii)) , we expect to see further strength in commodity toward new highs ideally. If the price breaks 70.79 deeper correction would be in progress, as 7 swings pattern which should ideally provide us with new trading opportunities.
