An invalid example is useful when it isolates a reason for rejection. Treat each six-point sequence below as an origin and proposed wave endpoints. These invented values exercise selected price rules, not complete market structures.
Case A: second wave crosses the origin
Sequence A is 100, 110, 99, 120, 112, 130. The proposed second-wave endpoint at 99 lies below the origin at 100. Reject this ordinary upward impulse hypothesis under that condition, regardless of how attractive its later advance looks.
Case B: third wave is the shortest
Sequence B is 100, 120, 115, 130, 124, 154. Advancing lengths are 20, 15 and 30. The third is the shortest, both in arithmetic length and in percentage movement in this example. Its endpoint exceeding wave one does not rescue the failed length relationship.
Case C: fourth wave overlaps wave one
Sequence C is 100, 110, 105, 121, 109, 128. The proposed fourth-wave endpoint at 109 enters the first-wave price territory ending at 110. This rejects the ordinary impulse hypothesis being tested. A diagonal requires a separate case and cannot be assumed as an automatic repair.
Record what each rejection establishes
Write the original hypothesis, failed relationship and relevant values. A rejected impulse does not establish the correct alternative. Full real-data review also needs internal subdivisions, context and actual extremes. Keep the scope of each exercise limited to the demonstrated failure.
If sequence C fails, is a diagonal automatically confirmed?
No. The ordinary hypothesis failed one check. Any replacement model must satisfy its own structural requirements.
