Elliott wave analysis: distinguish unresolved from rejected
Use three review outcomes so missing evidence does not become a false approval or a false rejection.

A wave hypothesis can fail a structural rule, lack the data needed for a check, or pass the checks actually performed. These outcomes mean different things. A practical analysis record should show the difference before presenting a preferred interpretation.
Define each review outcome
Rejected means that an applicable requirement is contradicted by the available evidence. Unresolved means that the required observation is unavailable or ambiguous. Passed means only that a specified check was completed successfully. Passing one price relationship is not the same as confirming an entire pattern.
Try an incomplete-data example
Suppose an ordinary upward impulse candidate has larger turning points in the permitted order, but the internal structure of its third wave is unavailable. Record the endpoint checks that passed and the missing subdivision as unresolved. Do not replace the missing observation with an assumption that a strong movement must be an impulse.
Record a genuine contradiction
In a separate invented candidate, the proposed second wave moves beyond the origin of the proposed first wave. Under the ordinary impulse model, that contradicts a required price relationship. Record the failed requirement and its source points, rather than merely writing that the chart looks wrong.
Keep the conclusion proportional
A result can read: endpoint checks passed, internal structure unresolved. That is more informative than a single approval badge. When new data resolves the missing check, append the result and retain the earlier record so a reader can see what was known at each review.
The internal third-wave structure cannot be inspected. Is the whole impulse confirmed?
No. Record that part as unresolved, even if the endpoint checks passed. Missing evidence is neither a successful check nor a demonstrated violation.
