Today, February 10, I sit down with Elliott Wave International's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy to discuss his favorite wave pattern of all: the diagonal triangle. First question: You say if you had to pick just ONE of all 13 known Elliott wave structures to spend the rest of your technical trading life with, it would be diagonal triangle. Read on to see why the diagonal is so special in the real world price action of a major commodity market.

"When stocks are falling, commodities come calling." So goes the mainstream theory that hails hard assets as safe havens during equity declines. But -- since April 2011 -- the supposed inverse correlation between stocks and commodities unraveled when the bellwether Continuous Commodity Index (CCI) declined 20%-plus, right alongside falling equity markets.

Commodities: A Clear Trend for the Next 20 Years -- Learn What It Is

If analysis of financial markets was a stage, then all the "fundamental analysis" players would be doing improv: They react to one unexpected external prompt after another, all the while trying to string together a cohesive story -- often to no avail. Practitioners of Elliott wave analysis, on the other side, would be actual theater actors: They memorize script lines (i.e., Elliott wave patterns) and anticipate how the scenes on stage should unfold. And right now, EWI's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy shows you that the "stage" for commodities is set for one of the most dramatic "performances" in recent memory.

Why Cocoa's 2011 Bear Market Was A Foreseeable Event
EWI's January 2011 and March 2011 Monthly Futures Junctures anticipated a powerful downtrend in cocoa for the year ahead. Now what?
By Nico Isaac
12/22/2011 5:30:00 PM
The time is March 2011. Cocoa prices have soared to the out-of-orbit regions of a 32-year high. And, according to the mainstream experts, ongoing political tensions in the world's leading cocoa producer, Ivory Coast, sealed the market's bullish fate. Their magic "bull"et being the refusal of incumbent President Gbagbo to cede power after losing the November 28, 2010 parliamentary elections to newly recognized leader Outtara.

Grains: Has the Trend Changed?
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures reveals whether the moves up in soybeans, wheat, and corn will last
By Nico Isaac
12/1/2011 5:15:00 PM
The commodity grain complex has endured more recent setbacks than the Herman Cain campaign. In September alone, Soybean prices plunged 20% in the biggest rout in three years, while the 23% fall in corn prices was the steepest since at least 1959. But on November 21, the grain pain turned to gains when soybeans, corn, and wheat enjoyed a synchronized surge to one-week highs. So the million dollar question is: Will the northward trend continue?
