Amitagg , instead of blowing hot & cold , read up some EW. 38.2 & 50% correction is normal for 4th waves.
Yiu are crying over a 50% decline . On the previous page, read up a few posts. I predicted a decline to 7500. So, whats big deal. Yes, the wave 3 was tough to mark its internal structure. I had admitted this many moons back in one of my posts.
There is no perfect moving average, no perfect trendline and no perfect trading system.There is chaos in the market and using EW we try to find some order in it.
Now to your question as how does it matter if the decline is impulsive or corrective , i will say if it were impulsive we would be looking at 5200 on Nifty. You ain't seeing anything yet.

How about enlightening the board with your count ? let us see what you got
