Elliott wave four correction: review an unfinished structure
Distinguish a correction still in progress from a completed fourth wave and from a rejected ordinary impulse.

An aphigher-degree wave pause after a third wave can lead to a premature fourth-wave label. Keep the price boundary, proposed corrective structure and completion evidence separate. A correction can remain unresolved without forcing a new model immediately.
Fix the ordinary-impulse hypothesis
Record the proposed first-wave territory and the third-wave endpoint. In the invented upward case, wave one ends at 110. A provisional fourth-wave low of 114 remains above that boundary, so it does not demonstrate overlap. This is only one price check.
Inspect the correction itself
Identify the corrective model you are testing and the internal evidence already available. A zigzag, flat or combination cannot be confirmed merely because price has pulled back. Record which components are inspected and which remain incomplete.
Compare two distinct new observations
A later low of 112 remains above 110 but changes the developing correction. A low of 109 enters the earlier wave-one territory and rejects the specified ordinary impulse hypothesis. These are different outcomes: a revised unfinished correction and a failed boundary condition.
Avoid replacing evidence with a ratio
A shallow retracement may be compatible with a fourth-wave idea, but it cannot establish completion. Keep the original boundaries and review timestamps, then compare alternatives on the same data. Any diagonal interpretation requires its own structural evidence rather than automatic relabelling.
Does the low at 114 prove that wave four is complete?
No. It passes only the stated non-overlap comparison. The corrective structure and its completion still need examination.
