According to a December 6 Financial Times, "gold has been a conundrum in the past couple of months." Namely, gold prices have fallen despite a slew of "safe-haven" supportive news events. Today, I'm sitting down with EWI's trader-focused Metals Specialty Service to see how gold's recent decline, while puzzling to fundamental analysts, actually falls within the laws of Elliott wave analysis.

The Elliott Wave Principle recognizes 13 known wave patterns on the price charts of financial markets. Some of these fall into the category I like to call "Casserole" patterns; meaning they develop at an easy rate that affords enough time for the analyst to walk away from his/her desk and dawdle with other things, like preparing an elaborate casserole. The other category is the "Canned Soup" patterns.

It's official: Asian-Pacific stocks just had their worst quarter since 2008. Yet some markets' woes are even more staggering: like Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which sealed its worst quarter in a decade.

On Friday September 2, I performed a two-step experiment to determine how well fundamental analysis of financial markets prepares investors for major trend changes before they occur. Step One: Read the mainstream news items regarding the one market that has captured the imagination of everyone from housewives to hedge funds: Gold.

When gold investors came knocking on the mainstream "fundamental" door on Thursday, September 1, they were turned away by a sign in the window that read: On Holiday. Come Back Tomorrow. According to the usual experts, the news-movers-and-shakers in gold's backdrop are on hiatus until Friday, September 2 -- when the highly-anticipated US unemployment report is released.

Gold: Next Stop, The Moon?
Gold topped $1,600 an ounce on July 18, for the first time ever

The mainstream financial press is full of stories about the "fundamentals" that have pushed gold above $1,600 an ounce. (However, note that, as our recent article pointed out, gold's initial push-off occurred despite "bearish fundamentals.") But you didn't come to elliottwave.com for mainstream discussions.
