NIKKEI 225 – Track Record
by WaveTrack International| February 18, 2016 | No Comments
As a part of our Elliott Wave success pattern series we chose this time to show Japan’s Nikkei 225 index which underwent a spectacular reversal-signature during 2015. These patterns allow you to get insights into WaveTrack’s forecasting style and quality.
In early-December, we concluded that the top was in when the Nikkei broke below ‘4th wave preceding’ support at 19250 (futures data). Intra-hourly substructure of this initial five wave expanding-impulse decline pointed to an idealised low at 18365+/- prior to a hefty counter-trend rally.
In mid-December, a reversal-signature from a low at 18565 (close to the 18365+/- target range) was identified which implied that the expected counter-trend rally was underway. Upside projections basis our interrelated-market analysis suggested a very deep 2nd wave counter-trend correction to the 1st wave decline from 20060 to 18565 – the most likely target was the 19835+/- resistance area, defined by a fib. 85.4% retracement.
Then came the announcement by the Bank of Japan to increase their bond-buying programme and lengthen the maturity of bonds purchased in order to stimulate the economy. The Nikkei’s reaction in fact was intriguing! It spiked higher in an attempt to take out the 20060 high but failed in a dramatic fashion: within the next session it almost returned to the December lows and has since been unable to recover!
This is a fine example to underline the validity of Elliott Wave analysis. As we know due to Elliott’s guidelines and our own long experience, 2nd waves tend to be rather deep – this is exactly what happened as the Nikkei even exceeded the fib. 85.4% retracement but failed to break the 1st wave’s high. The outlook is clear: despite the possibility of a secondary (but more docile) attempt higher as a smaller second wave, the Nikkei remains poised to the downside.

KBW Bank Index: U.S. & European Banks – Correction Over? Or Bust?
by WaveTrack International| February 10, 2016 | 5 Comments
In WaveTrack’s May 2015 forecast (May 14th 2015 – this report is available for free via the Research Pool website) the U.S. KBW Banking index highlighted an imminent downside risk for the banking sector. What we witness now has already been predicted nearly a year in advance by Peter Goodburn head analyst and founding partner of WaveTrack International.
Banking stocks that made headline news once again this week as the price of shares in Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank plunged ever lower. Commentators are already comparing these recent declines to those seen during the Lehman crisis of 2009 – but are these declines symptomatic of a new secular-bear downtrend, or are they simply deep corrections within a brighter outlook?
The Update covers the KBW Banking Index as well as Goldman, Deutsche Bank and EuroStoxx Banks charts.

Forex Spotlight: USD forming major peaks vs. Yuan and Rand
by WaveTrack International| January 29, 2016 | No Comments
China’s influence on the world economy made recent headlines in a Bloomberg interview with financier and philantropist George Soros. According to Soros (published 17th January 2016 – font page of the Financial Times): “China is the ‘root cause’ for this years global bear market, citing deflation and excessive debt as a key issues. A hard landing for the Chinese economy was ‘practically unavoidable’.” This remark prompted a strong responds from the Chinese government ‘Beijing warns Soros against declaring ‘war on the renminbi’. Read the FT’s shortened online article here:
China mouthpiece warns Soros against shorting renminbi
The term global economy with all its implications becomes now more apparent then ever when we consider that the Chinese Renminbi/Yuan has dropped 5.7 per cent against the USD since last August.
In the light of these recent events Peter Goodburn’s latest forex article on the USD/CNY and the USD/ZAR is especially interesting as he remarks that “China’s stock market continues to trade lower although the recent accelerative decline is in-line with our annual forecasts (see Stock Index video announcement) and shows the implications of this trend for China’s Renminbi/Yuan -USD/CNY as well as the South African Rand.

ASX 200
by WaveTrack International| January 6, 2016 | No Comments
In November, we spotted a very interesting pattern developing for Australia’s ASX 200. The underlying story line is that the index (chart in the background) unfolded into an expanding flat counter-trend correction from its 4928 low whilst the futures (inset chart) synchronised with a single zig zag advance from their corresponding (deeper) 4733 low.
In the 13th November issue of our report, we forecast the ASX 200 to build to the downside in the weeks ahead as this convergence of pattern finalisation (an expanding flat for the index, a single zig zag for the futures) indicated the completion of the entire counter-trend correction labelled wave X in primary degree. But: we also forewarned of a possible halt at the 4963.00+/- level (see futures inset) that was derived by a fib. 61.8% extension of the initial sell-off from the October high of 5385.
What happened during the following weeks? The ASX 200 traded into a low of 4959 (see inset) and immediately reversed to the upside. This was no coincidence but the proof of well-established fib-price-ratio measurements – when prices react to these, it is almost always a strong sign of a more pronounced change in direction. In terms of the current situation for the ASX 200, it meant that the downswing from the October high of 5385 was only a temporary pullback – primary wave X would have to extend into a more complex correction: in case of the index, into a rare double three sequence (see background chart); in case of the futures, into a progressive double zig zag pattern (see inset).
