        Article summary

        Elliott Impulse (12345) is a tool based on Elliott Wave theory that helps identify long-term price patterns related to persistent changes. It consists of five sub-waves (degrees) that make net movement in the same direction as the trend. This pattern is the most common motive wave and the easiest to spot in a market.
