Wave Two corrections can be either; simple or complex.
A simple correction is primarily a three step (A, B, C) zig-zag pattern where wave B of the pattern is no more than a 75% retracement of the Major Wave One. A wave B that retraces 38 to 62% of Wave A typically produces a Wave C that equals wave A or 1.62% of Wave A.
A normal Retracement for B = 38% to 62% of A. Maximum B = 75% of A.
The maximum retracement of a Wave 2 = 75% of Wave 1.
