Elliott Wave Analysis views economic expansions and contractions through a unique psychological framework that manifests itself in a recurring fractal pattern governed to a great extent by Fibonacci relationships. The patterns occur over and over again, and at hourly, daily, multidecade, and multicentury trend levels.

This image on the left shows the Cycle degree fifth wave in the Dow Jones Industrial Average of the 1920's, as the market was making both a Cycle degree and SuperCycle degree top.

This image is the Dow Jones Industrial Average is from the 1970's to about 2000. The shape of the graph is virtually identical to the shape of the 1920's graph. It has taken roughly three times as long to make the shape as it did in the 1920's, and it has gone about three times as far. However, the market has been making a Grand SuperCycle degree top as well as a SuperCycle degree and Cycle degree top. It has been taking several years (since about 1998) for that top to unfold, and the excess monetary credit that has been moving around in this "rolling top" has moved back and forth between various asset classes.
