SP500 – Symmetry in Motion – Expanding Flat
by WaveTrack International| January 23, 2020 | No Comments
The SP500 has just completed a short-term {A}-{B}-{C}, 3-3-5 Expanding Flat pattern at 3301.25. This confirms a continuation to the upside over the next few trading-days

SP500 – Symmetry in Motion – Expanding Flat
The SP500 is closing-in on reaching upside targets for the completion of October’s five wave impulse uptrend. Activity so far this week is confirming one additional but final push higher following the completion of an {A}-{B}-{C}, 3-3-5 expanding flat pattern that ends a 4th wave correction from last Friday’s high of 3330.25 into today’s low, traded just a moment ago, at 3301.25.
SP500 and Fibonacci Price Ratios
Note the 3-3-5 wave structure of the expanding flat. Wave {A}’s decline unfolded into a typical zig zag ending at 3307.25. Wave {B}’s advance was another zig zag, this time, unfolding where waves a and c measure by a fib. 100% equality ratio into the high at 3337.50. And finally, wave {C}’s decline as a five wave impulse pattern ending at 3301.25.
And now, corroborating the expanding flat, fib-price-ratios can be overlaid to the pattern. For instance, extending wave {A} by a fib. 38.2% ratio projects the upside completion of wave {B} to 3339.00+/-. Also, extending wave {A} by a fib. 23.6% ratio projects wave {C} to 3301.75+/-. Not bad!
Conclusion
The completion of the expanding flat pattern confirms the prevailing uptrend is still engaged to the upside. However, it will be negated should the SP500 break more immediately below 3301.25. Looking ahead, any higher-high will most likely be the concluding sequence to October’s larger five wave uptrend.

Commodities Video Outlook 2020 by WaveTrack International
Commodities – Q1 Sell-Off – ‘Inflation-Pop’ Lift-Off Q2 Onwards!
THIS REPORT INCLUDES ANALYSIS ON MEDIUM-TERM CYCLES & EQUITY MINERS
We’re pleased to announce the publication of WaveTrack’s annual 2020 video updates of medium-term ELLIOTT WAVE price-forecasts. Today’s release is PART II, COMMODITIES – Part I was released last month and Part III will be published in early-February.

Elliott Wave Forecasts for 2020 – Summary
Q1 Sell-Off – ‘Inflation-Pop’ Lift-Off Q2 Onwards!
Secular-bull uptrends in U.S. stock markets that resumed from the financial-crisis lows of 2008/09 are intimately linked to the corresponding price advances in commodity markets. Despite comparable uptrends from those 2008/09 lows, from an Elliott Wave perspective, the definition of an uptrend doesn’t apply to many commodities, whether they’re Base Metals, Precious Metals or Energy contracts like Crude/Brent Oil.
Whereas U.S. stock markets are still engaged in long-term five wave impulse uptrends that began from the Great Depression lows of 1932, Elliott Wave analysis identifies Base Metals and Energy contracts ending their corresponding Commodity Super-Cycle peaks much earlier, in year-2006/08. Everything that has so far followed is part of a multi-decennial corrective pattern, specifically, an A-B-C expanding flat where wave B allows a push to new record highs. Those B wave advances correspond to 5th wave advances in U.S. stock markets.
Back in year-2010, we termed this B wave advance as the ‘Inflation-Pop’ cycle because it was destined to trigger several years of rising inflationary pressures, as asset prices were driven higher by central bank’s monetary policy and quantitative easing measures. Fast-forward to 2020, those rising inflationary pressures are about to get another kick higher.
Commodities and US$ Dollar Outlook
One contributor that’s expected to drive asset values significantly higher over the next few years is a weakening US$ dollar – see fig #1. There’s a distinct 15.6-year cycle recurrence for the US$ dollar index which has signalled the various peaks and troughs over the past several decades.
US Dollar Index Cycle – Monthly – WaveTrack International
The last time the cycle peaked was late-2016 when the US$ dollar index traded to a high of 103.82. This is a centrally-translated cycle where peaks and troughs alternate in similar time-intervals of 7.8-years which means the late-2016/early-2017 cycle downturn will last approximately 7.8-years into the next 15.6-year cycle trough due in years 2023/24.
Basis Elliott Wave analysis dating back to the historical peak of 164.72. This puts the dollar on a crash-course for declines below pre-financial-crisis lows!
Commodities and Interest Rate Outlook
Another contributor to rising inflationary pressures will be the triggering of a new uptrend in interest rates.
The US10yr Breakeven Inflation Rate (TIPS) yield is nearing the completion of a counter-trend downswing that began in early-2018 – see fig #2. This correction was forecast in the 2018 annual Interest Rate report – ‘The recent break for the US10yr treasury yield above the 2017…indicates further upside potential into the end of Q1 ’18, beginning of Q2 targeting 3.360+/-…Once completed, a multi-month corrective decline would then begin, pulling yields sharply lower…The US10yr TIPS Breakeven Inflation Rate Spread indicates an interim peak forming at the same time as treasury yields…This suggests worries over the re-emergence of inflationary pressures will abate for a while…’. – a while has turned out to be almost 2-years!
US10yr – USTips 10yr Yield Spread – Weekly – WaveTrack International
Ten-year treasury yields are expected to undergo another downswing into Q1 2020 before forming an historical base, then trending higher to begin a new 30-year cycle. This could pull the US10yr Breakeven Inflation Rate (TIPS) yield slightly below current levels of 1.500 although only marginally, before trending higher too. The outlook over the next few years is amazing! Upside targets are towards 4.247%!! We’ll explain more in PART III of the annual report, but until then, suffice to know that a primary degree A-B-C zig zag pattern has been unfolding since the end of the financial-crisis of 2008/09.
Rising Food & Agriculture Prices
Whilst this annual 2020 Commodities report doesn’t include analysis of grains and soft commodities, we can get an overview of trends from studying the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) price index – see fig #3.
FOA – Food and Agriculture Index – Monthly – www.wavetrack.com
The historical data begins from the 1950’s – there’s a clearly defined Elliott Wave impulse pattern, a primary degree five wave impulse sequence, 1-2-3-4-5 engaged to the upside. This multi-decennial uptrend began primary wave 5 from the June ’86 low of 82.40. It has steadily advanced since, subdividing into an intermediate degree uptrend, (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5) where wave (5) began lifting prices higher from the grand ‘Re-Synchronisation’ lows of early-2016, from 149.30.
Food and Agriculture Organization Index
In the last month, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported the index, which measures monthly changes for a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, meat, and sugar jumped to its highest point since Dec.’14, averaging 181.7 points, up 2.5% on the previous month.
The cereal price index rose 1.4% to average 164.3 points, led by higher prices for wheat with stronger demand from China and logistics problems following strikes in France. Rice prices were little changed. Vegetable oil prices were up strongly, with the index rising 9.4% to 164.7 points in December. Palm oil prices rose for the fifth month in a row, lifted by biodiesel demand, while soy, sunflower, and rapeseed oil values also increased.
The dairy price index averaged 198.9 points in December. Precisely, up 3.3% with higher cheese and skim milk powder prices that outweighed lower butter and whole milk powder values. The sugar price index was up 4.8% to 190.3 points, lifted by surging demand for ethanol caused by rising crude oil prices.
By contrast, meat prices were almost unchanged from November with the meat price index at 191.6 points with higher pig and sheep meat prices balanced by falling beef prices.
But what does this tell us? Well, from an Elliott Wave perspective, there’s a long way to go before reaching intermediate wave (5)’s ultimate upside target of 317.20+/-. That can only mean one thing – rising prices = rising inflationary pressures.
Q1 Sell-Off!
Before commodity prices launch higher, we expect Base Metals & Energy to trade lower during the first-quarter Q1-2020 period.
Base metals like Copper etc. haven’t quite finished Elliott Wave corrections that began from the early-2018 peaks. Crude/Brent Oil began a three wave, A-B-C corrective downswing from the Oct.’18 highs of $76.90 and $86.74. However, wave C remains in downside progress. This can only suggest some form of economic deterioration. A possible weakness for the first few months of 2020, pulling commodity prices lower to finalise these 2018 corrections.
Commodities and the Baltic Dry Index
Baltic Dry Index – Monthly – Elliott Wave Forecast by WaveTrack International
One leading indicator worth tracking for signs of an economic downturn is London’s Baltic Dry Index (BDI) – see fig #4. The historical data begins from the late-1980’s. It tracks rates for capesize, panamax and supramax vessels that ferry dry bulk commodities around the world. The BDI began a new uptrend from the grand ‘Re-Synchronisation’ lows of early-2016, from 290.00. Elliott Wave analysis forecasts this advance beginning a decennial A-B-C zig zag upswing. Wave A ended an initial advance into the July ’18 high of 1774.00 – wave B completed a counter-trend decline into the Feb.’19 low and wave C is now engaged in a multi-year five wave uptrend targeting levels towards 543.00+/-. That’s a huge gain over the next several years, reflecting an increase in shipping goods around the world, ergo, rising inflationary pressures.
But in the last couple of months, a deep 2nd wave correction has unfolded within wave C’s five wave uptrend. It began from the Sep.’19 high of 2442.00 and is still heading lower – so far, a low into early-January of 773.00 reflects a decline of -69% per cent. If this is a leading indicator, then we can certainly expect other hard commodities to fall back during the first-quarter too!
Precious Metals Outlook
The outlook for Gold leads our analysis for 2020. Much has been written about its price direction since 2016 when gold rose by +30% per cent, from $1046.45 to $1375.27. When prices broke above $1375.27 in June (2019) last year, every analyst under the sun turned super-bullish. That’s not entirely unexpected – large institutional investors have been sidelined for several years, since gold peaked at $1921.50 back in 2011 – but now, they’re back in force. Only last week (Jan. 10th), the latest COT net speculative long-positioning was at its highest for over 10-years at 322,200 contracts. That’s a warning that a corrective downswing is due to commence.
The Gold Question
But the more important question is ‘what is the dominant trend for gold and the other precious metals?’.
This year’s going to be make or break for precious metals. Whilst the gold mining stocks look set to explode higher later this year (just not now), bullion gold, silver and platinum may struggle to keep pace. The problem is this: 2011’s declines in both gold and silver can be counted as ending five wave impulse downtrends into the late 2015 lows. If so, it will be impossible for them to break to new record highs during the latter stages of the decennial ‘inflation-pop’ cycle. So everything rests upon whether those 2011-2015 declines are impulsive or corrective.
If gold miners are set for record highs, shouldn’t bullion follow? That seems logical and remains as our preferential bullish counts to this day. But that doesn’t mean we’re complacent either – we’re continuing to track gold’s three price-swing advance from 2015’s low whilst comparting this to silver’s relative underperformance. So far, the pendulum between medium-term bullish versus bearish forecasts has swung a little more to the bearish side basis recent developments. Gold reacted from just below zig zag measurements of 2015’s advance at last week’s high of 1611.37 – meanwhile, silver was still trading far below 2016’s initial high of 21.14 and more importantly, remaining below last September’s high of 19.666.
Together, these aspects suggest significant downside risk over the coming months. Declines may not yet reveal the true path over the medium-term, but they will clarify its intention should prices decline as deep as we expect them to – the secret is to remain open to these varying possibilities – both bullish and bearish Elliott Wave patterns are shown/discussed in this PART II series report/video.
New Commodities 2020 Video – PART II/III
We’ve amassed over 90 commodity charts from our EW-Forecast database in this year’s Commodities 2020 video – A NEW RECORD! Each one provides a telling story into the way Elliott Wave price trends are developing in this next ‘INFLATION-POP’ phase of cycle development. We’re taking a look at some very specific patterns that span the entire SUPER-CYCLE, explaining why the super-cycle began from the GREAT DEPRESSION lows of 1932 and not from the lows of 1999 and how this ended in 2006-2008 and why the multi-decennial corrective downswing that began soon afterwards is taking the form of a very specific, but identifiable Elliott Wave pattern.

‘ Inflation – Pop ’ Lift-Off! – T-Minus 3 Months & Counting…

‘ Inflation – Pop ’ Lift-Off! – T-Minus 3 Months & Counting…
Part I of our Annual 2020 Elliott Wave forecasts has been published, outlining Stock Index trends for the coming year and beyond.
This year’s major theme is a resumption of the ‘Inflation-Pop’ cycle.
Following a 2-year pause in inflationary pressures that resumed in early-2016, i.e. lows for developed stock indices, emerging markets, and commodities, trends are about to change direction once again. This time, US10yr Inflation-TIPS are ending their two-year corrections. And are now set to surge higher from around the end of Q1 2020 onwards. Various commodities that have been engaged in two-year corrective downswings are also approaching major lows, timed into the late-March/April period. Take a look a Copper prices and you’ll see what I mean!
This year’s expectation of U.S. GDP remaining around current levels of 2.0% or 2.25% per cent is an underwhelming forecast but the consensus majority. From an Elliott Wave perspective, the US$ dollar is forecast significantly lower, timed to its declining 7.8-year cycle. And this, in turn, is set to ignite various asset prices significantly higher.
Gail Fosler’s Forecast
But this outlook is not just a perspective drawn from our Elliott Wave analysis. It’s corroborated by one of the U.S.’s most prominent economists, Gail Fosler. The Wall Street Journal twice named Fosler America’s most accurate economic forecaster.
In Gail’s latest research note, she highlights several distinct aspects evolving in the Global and U.S. economy – two of which point towards rising inflationary pressures and a weakening US$ dollar – see fig’s #1 & #2.

Elliott Wave Stock Indices Video Outlook 2020 – Summary
Dow Jones On-Course for Long-Term 40,000 Upside Targets
Back in November/December 2014, five years ago, the Dow was trading at 17817.00, approaching original upside targets forecast back in 2010. However, this secular-bull peak wasn’t aligned to the completion of corresponding ‘Inflation-Pop’ upside targets for Emerging Market indices and key Commodities like Copper and Crude Oil.
This was a big hint that the secular-bull uptrend in the Dow Jones (DJIA) and other developed market indices were far from completed. Further analysis revealed some amazing Fibonacci-Price-Ratio (FPR) ‘proportion’ values across the entire history of its major five wave impulse uptrend dating back to the Great Depression lows of 1932 – see fig #1. They coalesced towards Dow 40,000! Read more «Stock Indices Video Outlook 2020»

EuroStoxx 50 – Forecast Mid-Year Triple Video Series!
Last June’s Mid-Year 2019 Video Report forecast a 2nd wave corrective downswing for the Eurostoxx 50 unfolding from April’s high of 3515.15 – it had a lot to do to achieve this forecast, but that’s the power of the Elliott Wave Principle!
The 2nd wave correction labelled primary wave 2 was forecast unfolding into an expanding flat pattern, (A)-(B)-(C) subdividing 3-3-5. Wave (B) upside forecasts were towards 3555.00+/- to max. 3622.00+/- which ultimately ended at 3573.57! Next came the forecast for wave (C)’s five wave decline targeting 3211.60, max. 3197.00+/-. However, the actual low formed in early-August at 3239.20!
Track Record – EuroStoxx 50 – Forecast 22nd June 2019 – Triple Video Series – Mid Year
EuroStoxx 50 – Result! Track Record
The result was phenomenal! – the Eurostoxx 50 then began a huge advance to begin primary wave 3. As a result, since August, there’s been a gain of almost +16% per cent!
Track Record – RESULT! – EuroStoxx 50– 17th December 2019
It’s been a similar story for the S&P 500 and many other world indices too.

Russia RTS Index – Decline Underway?
by WaveTrack International| October 3, 2019 | 2 Comments
Russia RTS Index – Decline Underway Towards 1171.00+/- but Downside Risk to 990.00+/-
Two Elliott Wave pattern developments dominate the short-term picture over the next few months – both confer a decline to minimum levels of 1171.00+/- but there is also a heightened downside risk of a sustained decline towards 990.00+/- as the concluding sequence of an a-b-c running flat pattern that began from the Jan.’17 high. The medium-term outlook remains very bullish with outperformance forecast during the next few years.
The Russia RTS is a favourite of ours, mainly because it fits the pattern schematic of the A-B-C ‘Inflation-Pop’ from its financial-crisis low of 493.00 but also because its upside potential as primary wave C is huge during the next several years.
Wave C’s uptrend must ultimately develop into a five wave impulse pattern, labelled (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5). A 2nd wave correction as a subdivision within intermediate wave (3) began from the Jan.’17 high of 1197.00. It was originally identified as completing an a-b-c running flat pattern into the Dec.’18 low of 1033.00, the same time that U.S. indices, including the S&P 500 ended their corresponding expanding flat patterns.
But the following advance into the July ’19 high of 1414.00 is problematic. It’s difficult to identify this upswing as unfolding into a five wave impulse pattern. However, this irregularity in identification opens the way for two developing scenarios. Although, both confer a more immediate short-term decline testing levels towards 1171.00+/-.
Russia RTS Index – Count #1
Count #1 – the Dec.’18 advance from 1033.00 to July’s high of 1414.00 unfolded into a five wave sequence. A counter-trend corrective downswing is currently engaged, targeting levels towards 1171.00+/-. See fig #1.
Russia RTS Index – Daily – Financial Forecasting by WaveTrack International
Russia RTS Index – Count #2
Count #2 – this scenario depicts the continuation of the a-b-c running flat pattern that began the corrective downswing from the Jan.’17 high of 1197.00. Wave b has unfolded higher into a multi-year double zig zag pattern ending last July at 1414.00 – wave c must now develop lower into a five wave impulse pattern with an ultimate task or revisiting the 2017 low of 959.00+/-. Fib-price-ratio targets are towards 990.00+/-. See fig #2.
Russia RTS Index – Daily – Count #2 – Financial Forecasting by WaveTrack International
Conclusion
The Russia RTS’s pattern development from its June ’17 low in incredibly complex. Hence, two ongoing scenarios. But when juxtaposed to each other, both confer a minimum downside risk towards 1171.00+/-. Most importantly, this is in alignment with expectations of deeper corrective declines emerging from U.S./European indices. A time horizon is into the Jan/Feb.’20 period.
Doomsday Dollar, FT and Peter Goodburn
by WaveTrack International| October 1, 2019 | 4 Comments
US Dollar Highlight – This is Peter Goodburn’s response to a Financial Times article published in Monday’s newspaper entitled ‘The Doomsday Dollar Scenario’ by Rana Foroohar
Monday 30th September 2019
Dear Ms. Foroohar,
Just read your article on the US$ Dollar. Your reference Ulf Lindahl at AG Bisset as your source but notice you also build an interesting hypothesis around his idea that the US$ dollar would decline around 50-60% per cent whilst U.S. stock markets begin a generational decline.
WaveTrack is an Independent Research Provider and we specialise in price-forecasting. For price itself, we model the Elliott Wave Principle. And for timing, Cycle Analysis from Edward Dewey’s Foundation for the Study of Cycles model. Above all, both confirm what AG Bisset has hypothesised. The dollar’s decline resumed its 15.6-year cycle in late-2016. Actually, this next decline is its half-cycle interval of 7.8-years – see attached cycle chart (report dt. June 30th 2019, fig #125).
US Dollar Cycle – Monthly – WaveTrack International Financial Forecasting
Basis EWP model, downside targets for the benchmark US$ dollar index are towards 49.35+/- during this next 7.8-year cycle downtrend – see attached, $indx190806.
US Dollar Index – Monthly – WaveTrack International Financial Forecasting
US Dollar, the Elliott Wave Principle and Cycle Analysis
The only aspect that seems unlikely basis EWP and Cycle Analysis is that U.S. stock markets begin to trend lower now. Our ‘Inflation-Pop’ hypothesis which we’ve had in place since late-2010/early-2011 remains on course where U.S. stock markets remain in a secular-bull uptrend until its next cycle peak is due, sometime in year-2023 – see attached cycle chart (report dt. Dec. 27th 2018, fig #12).
Dow Jones – Quarterly – Cycles – by WaveTrack International
US Dollar – Looking Ahead
Looking ahead, beyond year-2023, yes, U.S. stock markets are set to undergo a quantum shift in the way we’ve perceived investing for a generational term. But this seismic shift will most likely, decimate asset values right across the global horizon. Worst affected will be those economies with the largest debt ratios. Governments will most likely be forced to confiscate wealth in order to ensure survival. That means hitting those at the high-end of the wealth-scale first. Subsequently, taxing property ownership to the point which causes a house-price collapse, triggering an uptrend in interest rates too.
Our analysis leans heavily on long-term historical data. We have interest rate data going back to year-1727 (almost 300 years), the US$ dollar index data begins in year-1660 and stock market data beginning in year-1695.
Would be happy to engage if you would like to follow-up on this intriguing subject. In the meantime, please see our annual 2019 currency market report which is attached – very best wishes,

EuroStoxx + Xetra Dax – Can You Spot the EXPANDING FLAT Pattern?
by WaveTrack International| September 27, 2019 | No Comments
Eurostoxx 50 – Xetra Dax 30
Can You Spot the EXPANDING FLAT Pattern?
Wow! – it’s been a really busy summer!! – but very profitable too! Although attention is usually focused on the major U.S. indices like the S&P 500, even if you don’t trade positively-correlated indices from other countries, we always advise analysing them as if you were.
A good example was how two European indices, the Eurostoxx 50 and Xetra Dax 30 played out from May’s highs into August’s lows. Back in May/June, our Elliott Wave Navigator and Elliott Wave Compass reports had identified a corrective pattern unfolding from the May’s highs, as a developing 2nd wave correction. Can you spot what pattern that is? – Yes, an expanding flat!
The expanding flat is a three wave sequence, A-B-C subdividing 3-3-5. For the Eurostoxx 50, (A)-(B)-(C) where wave (A) sets the initial price-range – to fulfill the pattern, waves (B) and (C) must marginally complete beyond wave (A)’s range whilst unfolding into a three and five wave sequence. If those conditions, those requirements are met, then the pattern can complete and is validated at predetermined fib-price-ratio levels – see figs #1 & #2.
EuroStoxx 50 Track Record by WaveTrack International
Basis charts in report/s dt. June 26th, wave (B) upside targets for the Eurostoxx 50 were towards 3530.00+/-, to max. 3559.00+/- then a five wave impulse decline to begin declines as wave (C) towards 3210.00+/-. The actual high for wave (B) was 3569.00 and the low for (C) at 3231.00.
Xetra Dax Track Record by WaveTrack International
The Xetra Dax had minor wave b. upside targets towards 12602.00+/-, max. 12821.00+/- then a five wave impulse decline to begin declines as wave c. towards 11399.00+/-. The actual high for wave b. was 12650.00 and the low for c. at 11257.00.
Conclusion
The completion of these expanding flat patterns was also replicated in London’s FTSE-100 index. Moreover, it gave validation that other major indices, like the benchmark S&P 500 would also stage a reversal-upswing in August, despite unfolding into a slightly different corrective pattern. This affirms our belief that trading a set of indices should be supported by analysing other related groups too!
