Bonus points if you also know the expected Fibonacci retracement multiple.   Senior Commodities Analyst Jeffrey Kennedy has identified the end of a lengthy five-wave move in a certain commodity, and the opportunity that comes with it. This market, which has declined almost 29% over the past six weeks, is "set for a sizable corrective advance."   Ever the careful instructor, Jeffrey stresses that "While we do have some very exciting potential in [this market] for now, or at least until we have confirming price action, it remains just that: 'potential.' The only thing that can confirm a wave count is price action, nothing else."   Jeffrey is also following a key technical indicator that likewise suggests a change in trend, and he spells out the key parameters this market must satisfy in the next few days to confirm the uptrend.  ]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:16:27 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Pop Quiz: What Comes After A Five-Wave Impulse Move?</title><link>http://www.elliottwave.com/clicks/default.aspx?cn=&amp;src=4&amp;url='/features/default.aspx?cat=ff*articleid=4185'</link><category>Futures Focus</category><description><![CDATA[It's mid-August, which means the kids will soon be back&amp;nbsp;in school.
