Gold climbed to a six-year high on rising tensions between the US and Iran following the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. The safe-haven asset reached $1590 earlier today as #WorldWarThree started to emerge on Twitter. We hope WWIII remains just a hashtag. In the meantime, we are once again baffled by how the media…
S&P 500: Last Four Moves Made Elliott Wave Sense
Over a month ago, on November 8th, we published an article demonstrating the Elliott Wave principle‘s ability to predict relatively large moves in the S&P 500. As the move in question progressed we decided to take a closer look into its structure to see what is left of it. The chart below was part of…
Disney Stock Forming a Major Elliott Wave Top
The last time we wrote about Disney stock was on April 17th. The company had just announced its own streaming service, sending the price sharply higher to over $130 a share. The interesting part was not the surge itself, but the fact that the Elliott Wave principle managed to prepare us for it a year…
Bristol-Myers Stock Pattern Triggers a 37% Surge
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Celgene are expected to merge into a single company before the end of the year. The deal will create the fifth largest pharmaceutical company in the world with sales of approximately $42 billion in 2019. Bristol-Myers fell sharply after the deal was announced in early-January. In late-April, the stock was still in…
Home Capital: Third Wave Lifts Stock 140% in 2019
Home Capital Group is up 17.4% in Toronto today following the company’s third quarter financial report. The mortgage lender beat analysts’ earnings expectations and delivered improvements in other areas, too. In total, HCG is up ~140% in 2019. But things didn’t look so rosy at the beginning of the year. The stock was hovering in…
Walgreens: Did the Market Foresee that KKR Offer?
Anyone who’s been in Elliott Wave analysis long enough has noticed how often some external factor “makes the price move” in the direction the analysis had identified much earlier. We’ve seen it happening in crypto, we’ve seen in happening in stock indices. Now, it happened with Walgreens stock. Walgreens jumped on November 5th after CNBC…
SERV Stock Gave a Warning Before Crashing 40%
The last three weeks have been tough on ServiceMaster shareholders. SERV stock was hovering around $56 a share as October went into its final third. But when the company announced its preliminary Q3 results on October 22nd, all hell broke loose. Apparently, Wall Street didn’t like what it saw, which resulted in a swift and…
S&P 500: Triangle Pattern Leads to New Record High
The S&P 500 reached new all-time highs on the back of better-than-feared earnings season and improved US-China trade prospects. The index closed at 3085 Thursday, bringing its 2019 tally to the impressive 23.1%. But was there a way to predict this move instead of just explaining it after the fact? To paraphrase Warren Buffett, the…
Bitcoin ‘s 40% Surge didn’t Come Out of Nowhere
On Thursday, we showed you how Elliott Wave analysis set the stage for a Bitcoin plunge to under $7700 ten days before Mark Zuckerberg’s Libra testimony. The cryptocurrency was barely holding above $7400 at the time of writing and many thought it was prone to decline even further. Since Bitcoin is among our premium instruments,…
BTCUSD: Libra Testimony Didn’t Cause the Fall
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress on October 23rd about the company’s Libra cryptocurrency project. The hearing didn’t go as smooth as the crypto community hoped, which reflected on the price of digital assets such as Bitcoin. At one point on Wednesday, BTCUSD was down by over $750 for the day. But was Zuckerberg’s Libra…
EURUSD Turns Up Ahead of Brexit Talks Breakthrough
EURUSD is up by 260 pips since the beginning of October. The pair climbed from 1.0879 to 1.1140 in just 14 trading days. The rally appears to be fueled by optimism regarding a possible Brexit deal and the tentative “phase-one” agreement between the US and China. In our opinion, however, there is something more to…
USDJPY Pattern Makes More Sense than Politics
The last two weeks were different like night and day for USDJPY traders. The pair fell from 108.47 to 106.48 during the first three days of October and eventually closed the week in negative territory. The last five trading days, on the other hand, told a much different story. Last week, USDJPY rose from 106.66…
Gold Traders Better Off Ignoring the News
In our previous article about the precious metal readers saw how the Elliott Wave principle put us ahead of gold ‘s $72-decline from $1531 to $1459. In short, the hourly chart made us think a three-wave decline from $1555 was still in progress. Hence, the bears remained in charge and more weakness could be expected.…
The Bears Rule Over Ethereum Under $225
We last wrote about Ethereum on August 9th. The second largest cryptocurrency had plunged by 42% in less than two months and was hovering around $210. Unfortunately, our Elliott Wave analysis of the decline from $363 pointed to more weakness ahead. See the chart below to refresh your memory. This chart was included in our…
Explaining Gold ‘s Weakness With Elliott Wave Logic
Gold bulls suffered in four of the last five daily trading sessions. A week ago, on September 24th, the price of gold briefly exceeded $1535. Earlier today, it touched $1459 before recovering to $1466 as of this writing. In the meantime, global economic growth is slowing and several recession indicators are flashing red; In what…
