From the perspective that wave b concluded at 2137.1 and the decline down to 1833.5 was wave 1 of c (c expected to be a destructive downward impulsive wave):
The consolidation pattern up to 2021.4 represented an exact .618 retracement of the decline of wave 1 and may be considered wave 2.
I suspect Wave 3 of c may ultimately be 1.382 to 1.618 the length of wave 2, concluding within the range where all of the following are true:
Year 2007 Peak High (1576)
.382 correction of the years 2009-2015 rally (1607)
.618 of the distance from 2137.1 peak to the point where wave c will equal wave a (wave a was the 3-wave correction from years 2000-2009)
Wave 4 would be expected to retrace .382 of wave 3.
Wave 5 might be equal to .618 of the distance from 2137.1 to the extreme of wave 3, which would seem to loosely correlate with the thrust targets I am gleaning from the triangle between 1833.5 and 2021.4 (2nd waves are not technically considered triangles themselves, according to E.W. test, but in some cases I believe they can be and can indicate the thrust for wave 3). This region also correlates with the points where wave c = a (a common relationship) and the .618 correction of the 2009-20015 rally. That would be in the 1200-1300 area.
I believe such a pattern will constitute a greater first wave of wave c, which will then be retraced back to potentially 1833.5 before further decline, possibly to a level where c = 1.618 of wave a. Perhaps 752.
