Here at EWI, our analysts don't forecast based on the whims of the financial news or "fundamentals", because we know from observing market behavior for over 30 years that news and events are not the markets' driving force. Instead, we study price chart patterns -- a method we've found much more reliable at predicting trend changes. Let me show you an example using the latest stock rally in Greece.

Every recent stock rally in Europe ignites the hope that the worst of the debt crisis is finally over. Yet every mini-crash that follows mocks those hopes once again... and again... We watched ups and downs like these in 2007-2009, too.

A big bet on European sovereign debt was the undoing of MF Global. Our latest Financial Forecast says "...Europe is the epicenter of the credit crisis," and observes that "The current level of unpayable debt is too big to bail." It's reasonable to believe that many more financial shoes will drop. What do we see just ahead?...

On Thursday, the EU agreed to expand a bailout fund, and the euro surged, pushing the EUR/USD above $1.42 for the first time in weeks. Question: Is this a start of a real bull trend against the U.S. dollar, or a temporary relief?

Few mainstream commentators anticipated Goldman Sachs' recent decline. Yet it's hard to blame them, because they simply aren't equipped to anticipate trend changes. Most of the time they simply extrapolate the previous trend into the future. Goldman has been a Wall Street powerhouse for decades -- so why would that ever change?

Greek bonds have been a hot news item lately because of how much, in terms of bond yields, the Greek government has had to pay to get investors to buy Greek debt. But as early as mid-May -- weeks before the details of the Greek austerity measures were ironed out -- Elliott wave analysts were on the record: bailouts or not, Greek bond yields would rise further. See for yourself...

Riots in Greece and European Bailouts - A Powerful Portrait

True or False: The U.S. Federal Reserves quantitative easing (QE) policy has been to bond yields what a plastic lid is to a trick snake can. Once you open the lid, it's -- "POP!" -- and the toy snakes spring up and out? According to many mainstream financial experts, the answer to that question is a clear and definitive true.
