Between May 1 and May 18, the euro lost to the U.S. dollar over 600 pips, or 6 full cents. "Sell in May," indeed. We've shown you in a recent article how Elliott wave analysis helped forex traders capture the bulk of that selloff. But what about now? EUR/USD has gained about 150 pips already off that May 18 low...is that a dead cat bounce, or the start of a move to new highs?

"How to draw a trendline" is one of the first things people learn when they study technical analysis. Typically, they quickly move on to more advanced topics and too often discard this simplest of all technical tools.

Today, EUR/USD, the exchange rate between the euro and U.S. dollar -- and also the world's most-traded forex market -- fell to near $1.27, a low not seen since January. Just two weeks ago, it stood almost 600 points (or pips, in forex lingo) higher. What if someone asked you back in April -- before this month's news from Europe -- where the euro would trade in May? For many forex traders, the answer would be...

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

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...

When you trade stocks, the question is always the same: What's the trend? Looking at the market's "fundamentals" today, you'd probably agree that it's a tough call. Europe is tanking, but maybe it's not so bad; U.S. jobs market is improving, but not as well as we'd like. Is the Fed done "stimulating"? Will the ECB lower interest rates? And on, and on. Here's how Elliott wave analysis helps you cut through the guesswork...

Elliott wave trader Jeffrey Kennedy had individuals like you in mind when he said "I began my career as a small trader, so I know firsthand how hard it can be to get simple explanations of methods that consistently work. In more than 15 years as an analyst since my early trading days, I've learned many lessons, and I don't think that they should have to be learned the hard way."

EUR/USD Dips Below $1.30
Was Mario Draghi's speech a bullish or bearish event for the euro? How about BOTH?
By Vadim Pokhlebkin
5/7/2012 5:30:00 PM
We've shown you before examples of how easy it is to interpret the same event as both bullish and bearish news for a market. Here's a fresh example. On May 3, the European Central Bank met to talk about interest rates. At that meeting, the ECB's chief Mario Draghi...

It’s been two years since the sovereign debt crisis crashed onto the European shores. And, despite 1-plus trillion euros in emergency bailout loans, the region’s economy has -- as my British friends would say -- “gone pear-shaped.” So, is this what rock bottom feels like?

At the 2nd annual Social Mood Conference in April, one speaker delivered an interesting insight: Every year, stock market returns in May-October average only about 50% of the returns in November-April. Important information, yes -- but did you realize that May-October in 2003, 2007 and 2009 were great periods to hold Asian-Pacific equities? What about 2012, you may wonder?

The euro's slow upward grind from the April 15 low of near $1.31 ended with a bang on May 1. The violent decline that started that day and continued on May 2 very quickly -- as it usually happens -- erased almost all of the gains from the two-week rally. The move has been widely blamed on "European debt crisis worries." Of course...
