D-Wave is an objective form of wave analysis. It defines price waves mechanically. D-Wave uses patterns that are defined by a series of Fibonnaci highs and lows. This approach makes D-Wave objective, e.g., Wave 1 could be identified as an 8 bar high, a high higher than all previous 7 bars' highs. The succeeding waves 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as the correction waves, use Fibonnaci numbers.
D-Wave displays waves according to the following logic:
For Up-Waves,
High of 1 is less than the low of 4, and
High of 1 is less than the high of 3, and
High of 3 is less than the high of 5.
For Down-Waves,
Low of 1 is greater than the high of 4, and
Low of 1 is greater than the low of 3, and
Low of 3 is greater than the low of 5.
Level / Price
Wave Start-21 Low
Wave 1-8 High
Wave 2-5 Low
Wave 3-13 High
Wave 4-8 Low
Wave 5-21 High
Wave A-13 Low
Wave B-8 High
Wave C-21 Low
Reverse logic for sells.
