Every Friday, Elliott Wave International's Senior Currency Strategist Jim Martens records a weekly video for the subscribers of his intensive Currency Specialty Service. In the one you are about to watch, Jim explains how the same basic pattern that R.N. Elliott discovered back in the 1930s is often all you need to make forecasts -- for the EUR/USD, in this example.

News stories move the markets -- that's what just about every investor believes. But can you predict what the market will do before the news is released? Let's look at a fresh example: the actio in the EUR/USD on November 4, when the Federal Reserve Bank announced its latest decision on the U.S. interest rates.

Early on October 26, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro (and the most widely-traded forex pair) began an out-of-the-blue slide from near $1.50. If the dollar's dramatic show of strength in the midst of all the doomsday scenarios surprised you, you're not alone. Anyone looking at the Monday morning forex headlines was likely caught off guard. What's behind the dollar rally?

As the recession has taken hold, short-term U.S. interest rates have been pushed down to .25% or lower. This encourages those who want to borrow to do so in U.S. dollars, which is exactly how the low Japanese interest rates of the past boom cycle encouraged borrowing in yen. But markets can move fast when they head down, and when a carry trade unwinds, few things move faster.

Unless you're a financial professional with a keen interest in international bond markets, you probably didn't even notice an obscure news item from Germany last week. Yet it may speak volumes about the coming trend change in the U.S. dollar.

One look at the latest U.S. dollar news headlines, and it seems like the buck has nowhere to hide. The buck is toast. Stick a fork in it. It's done. But wait -- we've been here before.

If you've been frustrated lately by the lack of action in the euro-dollar exchange rate (EUR/USD) you're not alone. Since early June the pair has gone nowhere, but that's only the half of it: It has also swung wildly in the 500-pip range between $1.43 and 1.37, as this chart shows...

Financial markets develop as a series of patterns. If you're like most investors and believe that markets are random -- or, at best, moved by "good" or "bad" news -- you will often find Elliott-based forecasts in conflict with your "macro" views.

If you trade forex, you've probably noticed that some markets have behaved erratically in recent weeks. The EUR/USD, for example, the most widely-traded currency pair, would go sideways for days -- but then start swinging wildly from hour to hour. What's going on? Here are some thoughts on this from Jim Martens, EWI's Senior Currency Strategist.

Any experienced forex trader will tell you that trading currencies when a major economic report gets released can be treacherous. Probably the most infamous of all scheduled news releases -- infamous for its treachery, that is -- are the U.S. interest rate announcements by the Federal Reserve Bank. But market action on those days can also mean opportunity for a forex trader who is properly positioned BEFORE the announcement. Here are some thoughts on how to do that...

Conventional explanations of the action in the forex markets are very good at showing how one news story or another has "moved the markets.” Trouble is, as convincing as those explanations are, all too often they give you zero edge in helping to anticipate what the market will do next. Well, here's one method that DOES -- and here is proof.

News moves the markets, goes the universally accepted notion among traders and investors. And yet, using Elliott wave analysis, you can predict market moves – without relying on the news. How is that possible? Let's take a close look at a fresh example.

Here's what's interesting. After Tuesday's much-awaited U.S. bank rescue plan announcement, the DJIA fell sharply. Why? Apparently, because the plan's details failed to convince investors that it would actually work. You might think that the U.S. dollar would also be in a free fall – yet it's actually been rising: Against the euro, it gained close to 300 points since Tuesday. Why? Apparently, for the same reason! Let's take a closer look at what's going on…

Following Friday's unemployment report, the U.S. dollar promptly lost to the euro. While this may seem like a "normal" market reaction to a bad economic number, think back to January 9, when the previous sharply negative jobs number was released. Following that report, the USD gained, and strongly. So, the same bad employment number can send the dollar higher and lower? Interesting...

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
