Correction

---

A countertrend movement that interrupts the primary trend.

Common corrective forms include:

• zigzags
• flats
• triangles
• diametrics (a NEoWave discovery)
• symmetricals (another NEoWave discovery)
• complex corrections and pattern combinations

NEoWave Association

NEoWave treats corrections as highly important psychological and structural events rather than simple pauses within a trend.

According to Glenn Neely's methodology, corrections often reveal:

• underlying market strength or weakness
• trend maturity
• future trend strength or weakness

NEoWave also introduces stricter rules regarding:

• allowed corrective complexity
• proportionality to other patterns
• internal relationships
• timing requirements and limits

Many of Glenn's Q&A discussions emphasize that correctly identifying a correction is often more difficult — and more important — than identifying impulse waves.
