On February 19, 2026, our Chief Commodities Analyst and Trader’s Classroom instructor, Jim Martens, walked his subscribers through a developing setup in cotton that suggested the decline could be ending.

The key pattern: an ending diagonal — an Elliott wave structure that often appears near major turning points.

Jim explained that cotton’s low was likely already in place and that corrective pullbacks could offer additional opportunities before a larger rally unfolded.

What happened next?

An explosive rally unfolded.

At the time of the webinar, Cotton Futures was trading near 63.64. Over the following months, cotton rallied to nearly 90 — a move of roughly +40%.

On April 6, while many investors were wondering if the AI stock rally had run its course, subscribers to Trader’s Classroom saw veteran Elliott wave instructor Tony Carrion examine the same question…

Looking at the wave structure in the Semiconductor ETF (SMH), Nvidia and Broadcom, Tony argued the declines appeared corrective — more consistent with fourth-wave behavior than the start of a major bear market. His conclusion: higher highs were still likely ahead.

Here are the charts he presented and what he said…

Analysis/Forecast:

Semiconductor ETF (SMH):

“The question right now is whether or not all the five waves are in place for us to consider this bull market has peaked. So, to me it hasn’t... That the correction that we’ve been getting over the past few months is what looks to me to be fourth-wave price action.“

Nvidia (NVDA):

“On the basis of the wave patterns that have unfolded since the all-time high, it suggests that probably the highs have not been made, that this would be more consistent with the idea of a fourth-wave retracement.

… the Wave Principle is suggesting that probably the bull market in NVDA is not finished.”

Broadcom (AVGO):

“This also suggests a fourth-wave correction… what tells us that? This is the price action coming down from the all-time high. There are no five-wave patterns in here.”

At the end of his lesson, he said this to subscribers:

“To sum up quickly, I think the wave patterns are saying there should probably be one more run to chase the all-time high.”

What Happened Next?

By April 28th, just a few weeks later, they all went to hit new all-time highs…

SMH rallied roughly+30%

NVIDIA rallied roughly+23%

Broadcom rallied roughly+38%

In a May 5, 2025 Trader’s Classroom lesson, instructor Favio Poci walked subscribers through a detailed wave-counting exercise on HOOD using the weekly log chart shown below. Applying Elliott wave guidelines and channeling techniques, he showed this chart highlighting the probability that the stock was preparing for another strong advance:

Analysis/Forecast:

“Chances are high that we’re gonna see another advance in wave five of three over the next weeks or months… It looks quite bullish.”

What Happened Next?:

In the weeks and months that followed, HOOD did exactly that. The move eventually carried the stock to an intraday high of $153.86 on October 6, 2025 — a rally of roughly +227% from the $46.99 price when subscribers first saw the lesson.

In a June 2025 Trader’s Classroom lesson, instructor Jason Soni walked subscribers through his wave count for Solana (SOL) and explained where he thought prices could go based on rules and guidelines of the Wave Principle. He showed this chart and said:

Analysis/Forecast:

“I’m looking for a move potentially towards $100… at least a test of the wave ((iv)) extreme near $110.”

What Happened Next?:

Over the following months, SOL declined, easily reaching that $110 region and eventually bottoming at $95.26, a drop of roughly 59% from where it traded when subscribers first saw the lesson, before staging a corrective rally.
