The Fed's chairman Bernanke said on Monday they were watching currencies markets to "help ensure that the dollar is strong"; the ECB's Trichet said that Bernanke's statement was "very important." Apparently, forex traders interpreted both comments as bullish for the dollar... but if you've been watching the EUR/USD's Elliott wave patterns, you didn't have to wait for the morning news to tell you that. See this chart...

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet has proven throughout this financial crisis that he is his own man when it comes to navigating the euro-land banking system through the deflation and debt deleveraging storm. And will likely save Europe from overspending.

"Fundamental" indicators change with the wind because they apply only to what has already happened. It's easy to "explain" past market action -- try predicting it instead. With Elliott wave analysis, you can. As this chart shows, there is a potentially major opportunity developing in the U.S. dollar right now...

The winds of deflation are blowing in Europe, and Jean-Claude Trichet, European Central Bank president, is at the helm of the economic ship, desperately hoping to avoid the shoals of policy error. Trichet does not need a GPS unit or navigational charts to see the rocks, because the wreck of the Federal Reserve lies just ahead and is plain enough to see.

On April 2 in London, the leaders of the Group of 20 industrial nations will meet to decide what to do about the financial crisis. This summer the crisis will be two years old; the G20 believes something finally must be done to end it once and for all. Can they?

On this day of Ben Bernanke's testimony in Washington, consider this quote from Bob Prechter's November 2005 Elliott Wave Theorist: "Like the entrenched belief in continued inflation, there is a widespread expectation of smooth sailing under Bernanke. With virtually everyone prepared for either good times or severe inflation, bad times and deflation will catch them all off guard." More…

With trillions of dollars committed to financial rescues, it seems that we now have decided that elected officials in Congress are superior arbiters of economic rehabilitation. Are we really to think that a polarized group of lawyers, doctors and who-knows-what-they-did-before will be prudent in their spending? Given the choice of the lesser of two evils, I will take Bernanke’s resume against anyone's in Congress.

Ben Bernanke says that today's current economic and financial woes don't compare with the Great Depression in the late 1920s and 1930s. Too bad he can't see what Bob Prechter sees – that today's problems are actually worse.

Why is the dollar gaining? Apparently, hedge funds were "returning to cash in anticipation of massive investor withdrawals." Plus, said analysts, Ben Bernanke's new proposal for another U.S. economic stimulus package added optimism to the dollar's future. Every time I read reports like these, I think of how well they explain the market action – and yet how utterly useless they are for a forex trader. Let me ask you a question...

A little after 5 AM Eastern (New York) time on Tuesday, July 15, the euro hit a new all-time high against the U.S. dollar: just under $1.6040. Markets move for a reason, goes the conventional wisdom, and it's doubly true when it comes to major moves like that. Interestingly, though, the EURUSD rallied to the new high after an economic report showed that "investor sentiment in Europe's largest economy, Germany, is at a record low." How come? Here's an Elliott wave take on it.

According to our Elliott Wave Financial Forecast's not-very-proprietary model for forecasting Fed rate cuts -- otherwise known as the spread between the Federal Funds rate and short-term Treasuries -- the Fed will lower rates again today. And as usual, Wall Street may well acknowledge the move by breaking out the party hats. But investors had better be careful,...

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.
