Rationale for probable retracement is also supported on the basis of GAPS versus Wave Counts, such that, in a fast moving market:
1 - Wave-1 is typically associated with BREAKAWAY GAPS 2 - Wave-3 is typically associated with RUNAWAY GAPS and 3 - Wave-5 is typically associated with EXHAUSTION GAPS.
ETSY/H4 - Market Gaps versus Wave Count:
In THIS particular case, the tentative Elliott Wave count suggest that a GAP occurred along a 5th wave (i.e.: wave-v in the chart) IF the tentative wave count is correct (BLACK).
In contrast, the alternate wave count (PINK) would suggest that TWO runaway gaps occurred.
