Today we are going back to the basics and reviewing the two modes of Elliott wave developement: the impulsive (or "motive") and corrective pattern. Learn to tell these two forms apart, and the rest is a "walk" in the technical "park."

This time last month, cocoa prices were sweeter than a Hershey bar dipped in honey. To wit: In mid October, the market was orbiting its highest level in 30 years. And, according to the mainstream financial experts, a perfect bullish fundamental storm was set to blow the roof off of cocoa's upside limits.

Financial markets are not one-way streets. Prices do not move north or south in a single direction. Quite the opposite: they have more switchbacks than a Swiss alp. The trick is in knowing when to make abrupt turns BEFORE they arise. Case in point: the mid-October selloff in sugar....

I've said it once, and I'll say it until I'm blue in face: Looking to outside factors for "cues" on where a financial market will move is like using a blindfolded crossing guard to direct traffic. The motion to step off the curb appears right as a speeding car comes zooming by. Then, the signal to "STOP" comes right as the street is clear and safe for walking.

One need only glance at the front page of the local newspaper for a sense of how things are. The Baltimore Sun recently featured an above-the-fold article which said that the median size of a new single-family home was smaller for the first time in 14 years.

This summer, the Wheat market has been about as merry as a mortician. To wit: On September 10, prices in the grain plunged to their lowest level in two years. As for why -- well, the mainstream experts have their fair share of ideas as to what's behind the grain's powerful descent; in the interest of time, I've narrowed their explanations down to these three:

In the eyes of mainstream economics, financial markets perform according to the laws of physics. There is a cause: i.e. some external event. And, there's an effect: A rise or fall in a market's price depending on whether said event was positive or negative. Okay. Let's think about that for a minute, and see where that gets us regarding Sugar's recent rally to a near 30-year high...

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.
