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.

Does your method of market analysis reveal whether the larger trend in a financial market is a bearish or bullish? If bearish, does it identify how far prices will fall, where the optimum place to enter a trade is, or where to place your protective stop? If you answered "no" to ANY one of these questions, then your trading may be like driving a car with no brakes.

Options Traders: Why "Ending Diagonals" Should Be Your New Best Friend
Elliott Wave Junctures' video lesson shows how an Elliott wave chart pattern called "ending diagonal" takes the guesswork out of options timing
By Nico Isaac
5/15/2012 5:00:00 PM
Trading options is not for the faint of heart. The stakes are sky high. You're not just buying or selling a security. You're also doing so with the expectation that said security reach a specific price by a specific time. That's why with options trading, most traditional forms of technical analysis fall short. At their best, they can identify WHAT the trend at hand is. Elliott wave analysis, however, goes the full distance...

Well, today I’m sitting down with someone who did: EWI’s chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy.

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.
By Nico Isaac

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.
