User Guide - World Stock Markets Outlook

 

Welcome to the World Stock Markets Outlook!

Thank you for choosing The World Stock Markets Outlook. We take great pride in helping our readers stay on top of the twists and turns in the global equity markets. Let us explain what this product — and the Elliott Wave Principle — can do for you.

Our goal is to help make your day profitable by revealing the probable price direction in each market. The World Stock Markets Outlook's [DAILY], [WEEKLY] and [MONTHLY] comments and [INTRADAY] updates paint a picture of where the major markets are likely to go, reveal how confident the current evidence allows us to be in that timeframe and define the price points that will strengthen or negate our forecast.

On the individual pages for each equity market, we use charts, and commentary in plain English, to convey what the developing pattern implies and what price path is most likely in the various time frames. The short-term charts and commentary will be updated every day, while the longer-term charts will be refreshed as needed, i.e. to adjust the wave count or illustrate big moves.

The [INTRADAY] page updates our views on the major equity indexes --as and when market action dictates--throughout the trading day.

Elliott forecasting is in essence a weighing of probabilities, and you should know how much confidence a particular situation allows. Accordingly, we offer a [Confidence Level] for the forecast price movement based on a simple model which looks at how well the wave count is unfolding and to what degree it is in 'sync' with momentum studies and trend analysis. If the wave count, momentum and trend studies are all yielding the same directional message, then the Confidence Level will be High. As inconsistencies start cropping up within the model, a resulting diminution in the Confidence Level will be seen. You can also gauge our degree of confidence from the tone of the language used. For example, if we say something "will" happen, it displays an extraordinarily high degree of conviction, i.e. 75%+ probable. Most of the time the balance of the evidence allows us to say something "will likely" happen, implying the event to be 60-70% probable. If we say "the odds slightly favor" a particular outcome, this softer tone describes a situation that falls closer to the neutral category, i.e. 55% probable. When we cannot make a useful forecast, we say so.

The listed [Support] and [Resistance] levels are derived from the wave structure, Fibonacci projections and retracements, and previous low volume price zones, i.e. inflection points. You will be amazed at how reliably and precisely a market will pay its respects to strong clusters of targets.

We include our email addresses in case you have specific questions regarding a particular forecast or need clarification on any point related to our work.

Thanks again for choosing The World Stock Market Outlook.

Note: At Elliott Wave International, we pride ourselves on independent and objective analysis. These values extend throughout our analytical department, so there is not "house wave count" that each analyst must be in line with. Our analysts are free to interpret and forecast markets based upon their personal experience and skill, using the Wave Principle and supporting technical analysis.

That means on occasion, two EWI analysts may arrive at different conclusions for the same market. Usually an apparent conflict turns out to be simply a matter of analysts addressing a different time frame. Yet there are times when two analysts do differ sharply in their interpretation of a pattern. Such differences are usually resolved in the short run as continuing market action makes clear which of the interpretations is actually unfolding; some resolve more slowly.

We treasure the complete independence and objectivity of our analysis. Thought-provoking research is what EWI is all about. Every day, we strive to meet the exceptional high standards of analysis set forth by Bob Prechter when he started our firm in 1979.
