Sorry for the quality of this - hope you can read it OK, there's a lot of info here if you look closely, lots of wave relationships are coming into play. it takes a bit of visualising.
Also - notice that ECU has broken out of a single wave up and down (green), which means that despite whatever the metals are doing, many juniors have only just got off the ground in terms of potential. In 1980 the PM shares high ended much later than the metal, which suggests that the shares are operating in a different cycle, which might be more extreme this time around.
The earlier single wave up down series is made up of a lot of smaller waves, one of which seems to have created the slow down in the recent break out. The good news is that ECU is now completely out of the last series, and the break out angle compares to that of the break out in 2005, despite having a much larger amount of issued shares out, and all the options and warrants etc. Given the right kind of support from the company ECU has masses of potential in the chart.
If you check out the rise in the first series, the last wave in a series of ABC is twice the length of the first waves (red,blue). If that was repeated, or increased, it might run out to three times in this current series, the share price would be right off the chart.
