Over the last two years, the coffee market has experienced two, major long-term trend changes. First, from its June 2010 bottom, coffee prices embarked on a powerful rally to their highest level in 34 years. Then, from its May 2011 peak, prices turned down in the southern rout we see today. See exactly how EWI's Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy has stayed one step ahead of coffee's biggest turns.

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.

Today, my sweet tooth has gotten the best of me as I sit down with EWI's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy to discuss the past year in cocoa. My first order of business: This time last year, cocoa prices were orbiting the outer-galactic regions of a three-DECADE high. And -- with Ivory Coast tensions intensifying alongside an increase in demand from China -- all the "fundamental" signs pointed UP.

Continuous Drama-dity Index: Will The Commodity Rout Continue?
EWI's Futures Junctures Service has stayed one step ahead of the CCI's dramatic turn down via these timely charts and insights.

"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.

Today I'm sitting down with EWI's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy to discuss the recent drama in the grain market king, corn. On January 12, corn prices plummeted more than 6% in the market's worst slump in three months. And, according to the mainstream experts, one main factor drove the grain to its recent pain. Check out the full story today.

Commodities: A Clear Trend for the Next 20 Years -- Learn What It Is
EWI chief commodity analyst Jeffrey Kennedy's "Unedited: Forecasting" video presents a "very, very big picture view" of commodities for the next two decades

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.

Today concludes my three-part "year-in-review" series inspired by the movie "It's a Wonderful Life." The basic gist: What if the early 2011 mainstream financial forecasts never existed? Would mainstream investors have been better -- or worse off -- today? Part one flashed back to the early-year calls for "new stock market highs" -- which ultimately gave way to the Dow's 19% fall in early May. And part two rewound to similar expectations of an "oil super spike" to above $220 a barrel -- which also gave way to crude's worst third-quarterly loss since the start of 2008 finanical crisis.

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?

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.

A little while back, EWI's Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy asked his subscribers to send in any and every burning question they've been aching to get off their chest with regard to trading markets via the Elliott Wave Principle and various technical indicators. In no time, Jeffrey's inbox was as stuffed as Santa's letter drop in late November. Hundreds upon hundreds of emails came pouring in. Jeffrey sussed through them and found they all fell into three main categories: Analysis, Trading, and Forecasting.

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?

Tap into the Gap
EWI's Futures Junctures Service reveals the "one thing that works" for becoming a successful trader
By Paul DeBoer

Years ago, I went through what I call the "discovery phase" of my career when I constantly came up with observations about price action and market timing, including some that were extremely esoteric. My discovery phase came to an abrupt end when a good friend gave me this piece of advice: "All you need is one thing that works."

The Elliott Wave Principle recognizes 13 known wave patterns on the price charts of financial markets. Some of these fall into the category I like to call "Casserole" patterns; meaning they develop at an easy rate that affords enough time for the analyst to walk away from his/her desk and dawdle with other things, like preparing an elaborate casserole. The other category is the "Canned Soup" patterns.

Futures Junctures editor Jeffrey Kennedy takes the time to explain the significance of a contracting triangle wave pattern that's unfolding in Soybean Oil futures. As always, Jeffrey looks at other technical indicators to support his forecast. In this case, compression of the Bollinger bands make a strong case for an exciting move in soybean oil.
