Regardless of news about the Fed or Europe, the slowing upside momentum had already suggested that buyers are weary of pushing the boulder uphill. So the downturn has not surprised us. In fact, we believe market players will soon...

It's been three years since March 2009, when our Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast turned bullish on the Asian-Pacific region. Most emerging markets in Asia have since then continued to support that bullish view: Many regional stock indexes have advanced in the impulsive Elliott wave pattern we expected. Of course, markets do go through periods of regress. How soon should you expect one to begin -- if at all? The April 2012 Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast gives you a specific answer on page 1.

On January 31, the "Golden Cross" formed on the S&P 500 chart. Even though the S&P 500 closed the day in slightly negative territory, the index's 50-day moving average remained above the 200-day. What's our view of moving averages as a forecasting tool?...

Oil markets are like cheeses. There are the processed, bright orange slices of American cheese -- and then, there are the rich and smelly wedges of Gouda. Likewise, no two oil markets are created equal. On one side, there's the more expensive Brent crude from the exotic North Sea in Europe. And then, there's West Texas Intermediate (WTI) from the heartland of Cushing, Oklahoma. The popular "brent/wti spread" is the ever-fluctuating difference between the price of these two oil markets.

The mainstream financial press is full of stories about the "fundamentals" that have pushed gold above $1,600 an ounce. (However, note that, as our recent article pointed out, gold's initial push-off occurred despite "bearish fundamentals.") But you didn't come to elliottwave.com for mainstream discussions.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, "Bull Market": How Many More Do You Have Left?
Elliott Wave International's March 2011 Financial Forecast research publication tells you whether or not the stock market's upside momentum really supports the case for a long-term bull market

March 9 was the second anniversary of the rally in U.S. stocks off their March 9, 2009 bottom. And, judging by the slew of "Happy Birthday, Bull!" headlines splashed across the mainstream financial media circuit, one can safely assume that the last remaining fence-sitters have finally jumped off and joined the "buy-and-hold" party. But that's exactly the problem with conventional approach to market forecasting: As a rule, mainstream bears get more bearish at the bottom, while bulls only turn more bullish as market tops. And when the turn comes -- surprise!

Here's something I bet you never thought you'd hear from a company that prides itself on being the world's largest market forecasting firm: Taken in isolation, traditional technical indicators can bite you in the [place where the sun don't shine]. These two charts show how technical signs of strength such as breadth and momentum do not always indicate a strong market.
