But it took two-plus years, and even then prices remained far below the July 2008 high.<\/p>\n<p>Crude traded roughly sideways through June 2014. Then came another nosedive, and about nine months later crude was trading below $44 a barrel.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, subscribers were warned weeks ahead of time. Here's what the May 2014 <i>Theorist<\/i> said:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>\"The multi-year outlook is for much lower prices.\"<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After oil's relentless multi-month decline, the January 2015 <i>Theorist<\/i> said that \"now that bearish conviction has crystallized, oil is likely to rally.\"<\/p>\n<p>By May 5, oil's price climbed to just above $60 a barrel. Yet as our long-term analysis suggested, the bounce was relatively short-lived:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\"US oil settles at a six-year low of $43.08 a barrel\" (CNBC, Aug. 11).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Where are oil prices headed?<\/p>\n<p>Well, one prominent financial observer has been consistent with his outlook for oil.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\"Gary Shilling thinks the price of oil is going way lower. The economist and financial analyst wrote an op-ed for Bloomberg View discussing the various reasons why he thinks the price could get down to $10-20 per barrel\" (Business Insider, Feb. 17).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Shilling is a deflationist<\/b>. In an Aug. 3 tweet he reiterated his oil forecast: \"Prices will drop even further.\"<\/p>\n<p>As always, there are voices saying the glass is half full: The founder of a financial firm recently told CNBC that \"Oil does not have much more of a downside left.\"<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell which of these forecasts is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the bigger picture -- namely the downtrend in other commodities (like copper). Think about the economic weakness in Europe and now China. Consider the record levels of global debt. Reflect on the ineffective stimulus efforts of central banks around the world. And finally, consider this excerpt from the July <i>Theorist<\/i>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>People who are afraid that deflation will lead to economic contraction are correct. That's why the subtitle of <i>Conquer the Crash<\/i> includes both words: <i>Deflationary Depression<\/i>. But the trip to the finish line is a zigzag path. Results don't show up overnight. What's happening now is nothing compared to what's coming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>\"Peak Oil\" -- And Other Ways Crude Oil Fooled Almost Everyone<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Remember \"Peak Oil\"? About ten years ago, it was a hugely popular theory \"explaining\" why oil prices would only go higher. They didn't. These excerpts from <b>Robert Prechter's <i>Elliott Wave Theorist<\/i><\/b> highlight the flaws in the conventional approach to forecasting oil prices and show you a better method -- a method that has done a remarkable job forecasting the future path of oil prices.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elliottwave.com\/r.asp?acn=09ino&amp;rcn=aa539&amp;dy=aa081315&amp;url=http:\/\/www.elliottwave.com\/club\/signup\/default.aspx?id=101932%26articleid=5798\">Read Bob's free report now &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 10px; border-top: solid 1px #CCCCCC;\"><em>This article was syndicated by Elliott Wave International and was originally published under the headline <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elliottwave.com\/r.asp?acn=09ino&amp;rcn=aa539&amp;dy=aa081315&amp;url=http:\/\/www.elliottwave.com\/freeupdates\/archives\/2015\/08\/12\/Oil%e2%80%99s-Slippery-Slope-How-Far-Will-Prices-Fall.aspx\"><strong>(Video, 3:38 min.)
