In the world of fundamental market analysis, inconsistency exists all the time. The reason being, mainstream analysts use external events to determine the near-term trend in financial markets. Their interpretation of the events is always changing, and so the outlook is always changing, too. Take, for instance, the pair of news items regarding lean hog futures found in today's article.

For Elliott wave analysts, 5 is the magic number. The 5-wave structure is one of the bedrocks of this market-forecasting method. Its rules and guidelines help you determine the depth and duration of developing waves. If you stay its course, the 5-wave form will lead you, like a hound dog leads a hunter, straight to opportunity.

Quick story. Back in 1998-1999, when a gallon of regular at a local QT gas station cost 67 cents (I kid you not), a colleague of mine here at the office was talking to an old buddy, who told him this: "When a barrel of oil costs less than a 12-pack of beer, you know it's time to buy." Boy, do I wish I had listened.

Dot Com-modities. Has the Raw Materials Bubble Burst?
Our Futures Junctures Service uses objective Elliott analysis to identify the near-, and long-term trend underway in commodities.

Since soaring to multi-decade highs in mid-2011, the commodity sector as a whole has had the wind knocked out of its bullish sails. To wit: from its April 2011 peak, the bellwether Continuous Commodity Index (CCI) has plunged 20% to its lowest level in four months. The question is: will commodity prices keep falling? Well, according to the mainstream experts -- YES -- and, just as equally, NO.

According to mainstream analysis of financial markets, root causes called "fundamentals" give rise (or fall) to turns in the market's price trend. But in reality, all too often changes in price happen first. Then, the mainstream experts swoop in and try to quickly adjust "fundamentals" to fit price action -- after the fact. This often creates a flurry of mixed information where the theme of one news story is quickly contradicted by the next. Enter: Soybeans!

Wheat Beat: Impending Breakdown?
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures warned of wheat's recent decline amidst the bullish chorus.

If you had checked the mainstream financial "weather" report regarding the wheat market since March 16, the forecast would have shown a huge satellite image of an impending bullish storm. In the words of one March 16 Reuters: "The wheat market is bullish in general. With Chicago's performance, it's difficult for us to fall." Yet -- FALL is exactly what wheat prices did.

"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.
