Elliott Wave Case Study: India’s SENSEX 

One strength of Elliott wave analysis is its ability to reveal key turning points — before the crowd catches on. 

India’s Sensex in 2008 is a textbook case. 

During the Great Financial Crisis, EWI Senior Analyst Mark Galasiewski identified a wave pattern that pointed to a major rally ahead — even as sentiment was deeply bearish. 

Check out this excerpt from the November 2008 issue of Global Market Perspective:  

“Notice how the up-down sequence labeled Intermediate waves (1) and (2) (in the small red box) is a microcosm of the larger up-down sequence from the 2003 low to the present (i.e., waves 1 and 2, in the large black box). In both cases, the wave-two correction retraced approximately 50% of the wave-one advance.  

If we have identified this ‘nested fractal’ relationship correctly, it means that Indian stocks are about to begin Primary wave 3 of the bull market that began in 2003.” 

What Happened Next: The Sensex rallied almost nine-fold to its 2025 high.
