EWI Insight

Hello, Elliott wavers, and welcome to the final episode of EWI Insight.

The Fed makes a second emergency rate cut and the market just doesn't care. First, let's get this out of the way. The Fed didn't act. It reacted. The yield on 3-month Treasuries had been falling fast, and the Fed was trying to keep up.

The Fed can't help you. Elliott waves can. Get 3 Elliott Wave pros in your corner, helping you understand -- and anticipate -- the stock market's moves. Subscribe to the Financial Forecast Service when you click the link in the show notes or visit elliottwave.com/insight. https://bit.ly/2Qn2hGp

A lot of people think gold, silver and, more recently, cryptocurrency are so-called "crisis hedges," assets you can own that supposedly will do well if there were to be an economic or financial crisis. Well, stocks, gold, silver and the cryptos have gotten shellacked recently. So, what's going on?

Robert Prechter observes that at some periods in history gold has been money. But when it isn't, then the claim that gold is a crisis hedge fails. Which brings us to the real crisis hedge during deflation: cash.

The rout continues. And you may have started to see the new buzz phrase in the financial media, and that is that the stock market is in so-called "uncharted territory." What a crock.

The oil market has seen some huge moves. A 30% dive Sunday night. But what's happened in oil this year is so much bigger than that. In January, oil was $64 a barrel. It hit $27.34 intraday on Monday, so we're talking about a 57% fall in just two months. Now, a lot of folks are speculating about what this move means for stocks.

The truth is, the correlation between stocks and oil swings willy nilly from positive to negative throughout history. Pundits will try to use one market to predict the other, but the reality is there's no reliable relationship between the two at all. To understand each market, you have to look at each market's Elliott waves.

What a day we had yesterday. Circuit breakers triggered on the NYSE, oil plunges, rates down, global stocks down. If you were not ready for these moves, your pulse is probably through the roof. But that's the difference between Elliotticians and everyone else. When everyone else is panicked, we usually find ourselves feeling calm and prepared.

Readers of The Financial Forecast were prepared for the global selloff. You can join them when you click the link in the show notes or visit elliottwave.com/insight. https://bit.ly/39ERXBb

One of the themes we hit on EWI Insight is that the reasons the media gives you for the markets' moves aren't explanations at all but merely rationalizations. That truth gets laid bare in volatile markets. They never know what's going on, because they're always looking for causes outside the market to explain the market's movements. But financial markets are not regulated by outside causes. They're regulated by internal dynamics.

A hundred S&P points here, a hundred S&P points there. These are some wild times in the markets. And describing the markets as "volatile" doesn't really do them justice. So if you're riding these waves, I hope you have your Superman cape on, because you're going to need nerves of steel.

Do you have nerves of steel? EWI's intraday stocks Pro Service and new Extended Hours S&P and Nasdaq e-minis Pro Service can help you see the markets' waves. https://bit.ly/2TP27ZE
