โ A triangle always subdivides into five waves. โ At least four waves among waves A, B, C, D and E are subdivided into a single zigzag. โ A triangle never has more than one complex subwave, in which case it is always a multiple zigzag or a triangle.
โ Usually, wave C subdivides into a "multiple zigzag" that is longer lasting and contains deeper percentage retracements than each of the other subwaves. โ Usually, wave D subdivides into a "multiple zigzag" that is longer lasting and contains deeper percentage retracements than each of the other subwaves. โ Alternating waves of a triangle may be in Fibonacci proportion to each other by a ratio of 0.618 for contracting triangles and 1.618 for expanding triangles. For example, in a contracting triangle, look for wave C to equal 0.618 of wave A. โ A triangle can be wave 4impuls, wave B of a zigzag, wave X of a double or second wave of an X of a triple zigzag, sub-wave C, D or E of a triangle and the last structure of a combination.
โ Wave C never moves beyond the end of wave A, wave D never moves beyond the end of wave B, and wave E never moves beyond the end of wave C. The result is that going forward in time, a line connecting the ends of waves B and D converges with a line connecting the ends of waves A and C. โ Waves A and B never subdivide into a triangle. โ In a running triangle, wave B should be no more than twice as long as wave A.

โ Sometimes one of the waves, usually wave C, D or E, subdivides into a contracting or barrier triangle. Often the effect is as if the entire triangle consisted of nine zigzags. โ About 60% of the time, wave B goes beyond the beyond the start of wave A. When this happens, the triangle is called a running triangle.
โ Wave C never moves beyond the end of wave A, wave D never moves beyond the end of wave B, and wave E never moves beyond the end of wave C. The result is that going forward in time, a line connecting the ends of waves B and D converges with a line connecting the ends of waves A and C. โ Waves B and D end at essentially the same level. โ In a running triangle, wave B should be no more than twice as long as wave A.

โ About 60% of the time, wave B goes beyond the beyond the start of wave A. When this happens, the triangle is called a running barrier triangle. โ When wave 5 follows a triangle, it is typically either a brief, rapid movement or an exceptionally long extension.
โ ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐๐จ
โ We have yet to observe a 9-wave barrier triangle, implying that this form may not extend.
โ Wave C, D and E each moves beyond the end of the preceding same-directional subwave. (The result is that going forward in time, a line connecting the ends of waves B and D diverges from a line connecting the ends of waves A and C.) โ Subwaves B, C and D each retrace at least 100 percent but no more than 150 percent of the preceding subwave.
โ ๐๐ช๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐จ
โ Subwaves B, C and D usually retrace 105 to 125 percent of the preceding subwave.
