See why rubber prices bounced from an 11-year low to a 4-year high <\/span><\/h3>\n

By Elliott Wave International<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are nearly 50 commodity markets traded all over the world at any given time. That’s one for every state in the United States.<\/p>\n

So, how is an investor or trader supposed to know which of these markets to follow and which ones to dismiss?<\/p>\n

Well, for our long-time Commodity Junctures<\/em> editor Jeffrey Kennedy, the answer is simple: Don’t wait for an Elliott wave pattern to develop on a market’s price chart. But rather, choose price charts that already<\/strong> present discernible Elliott wave patterns.<\/p>\n

Jeffery will be the first to admit — sometimes, they show up in the most unlikely of places.<\/p>\n

Back in November of 2016, Jeffrey (at a Commodity Junctures<\/em> subscriber’s behest) found an opportunity on the price charts of a market he never included before in his 20-plus years as EWI’s senior commodity analyst –rubber.<\/p>\n

That opportunity took the shape of one of the most exciting Elliott wave patterns: the ending diagonal. It’s a five-wave pattern labeled 1-5 that can only form in the final position of a wave sequence — i.e., wave 5 of an impulse, or wave C of a correction.<\/p>

Most importantly, when this pattern ends, it’s followed by a swift and powerful reversal that retraces the entire length of the diagonal. Here’s its idealized diagram, in bull and bear markets:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In his November 2016 Monthly Commodity Junctures<\/em> video episode on rubber, Jeffrey made the case for a post-diagonal thrust UP for the long-suffering rubber market:<\/p>\n

“We’ll be discussing a market that I’ve actually never spoken about before. I was surprised to find very high quality wave patterns on the charts. This is how we can label the weekly price chart of rubber.<\/p>\n

“An ending diagonal in the wave c position. Subsequent price action has been quite impulsive to the upside. Now, as you know, whenever an ending diagonal terminates, it tends to resolve quite swiftly and quite sharply<\/strong> back to beyond the origin of the pattern, and that comes into play about 285.5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“As we move into 2017, I suspect that we will have retraced that entire move to the downside that essentially took two-and-a-half years to form.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From there, rubber prices made a serious commitment to the upside, soaring to a four-year high on January 26.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, according to mainstream analysis, rubber’s shocking rebound off 11-year lows is the result of weeks’ long floods in Thailand, the world’s top rubber producer.<\/p>\n

You, however, now know the real story: Rubber’s rally began long before the sky’s opened up in Southern Thailand. It kicked off in late November, as the result of a complete Elliott wave ending diagonal pattern.<\/p>\n

When it comes to choosing the right commodity market at the right time, the independent perspective of Elliott wave analysis goes a long way.<\/p>\n
