"The Wave Principle, in some ways, is similar to a detailed road map -- one that guides investors through the market’s countless highways and byways. Occasionally in a market journey, it’s difficult to be sure of your exact position. But as with identifiable road markers, the market traces out recognizable Elliott waves, and you can begin to know quite comfortably where you are within a move."
 
That's an excerpt from the just-published, June issue of EWI's monthly European Financial Forecast. Editor Brian Whitmer continues:
 
 
"Above are two road maps of the... journey that we’ve been tracking since the lows in March. The FTSE-100, shown at top, displays the cleanest pattern. Wave A counts well as five waves into the March 24 high of 3911. Wave B unfolded as a contracting triangle, ending on April 21 at 3897 intraday. The latest advance is tracing out a relatively clean impulse... The near-term form of the Eurostoxx (bottom chart) differs slightly, but the message of the pattern is similar.
 
"For a wave analyst, the multitude of European markets can often confirm or deny one another’s wave pattern. Fortunately at present, patterns synchronize nicely and, together, substantiate our forecast..."
 
The forecast is simple: The rallies in Europe are getting mature. For that reason, Brian Whitmer reminds subscribers that, "Short-term traders in Europe should pay close attention to the European Short-term Update this month."

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
