SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 3rd week of a new Primary cycle or still in an expanded Primary cycle in the 25th week of the older Primary  ¹ cycle .  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks so we are outside the normal range of the older cycle.

A Primary / nominal 18 week cycle that extends beyond the normal range are often distorted due to another, longer term cycle about to hit it's trough. In this case we could be seeing a shortened 50 week cycle or even the 4 year cycle in this time frame.

The recent price moves are pointing to the SP500 entering the 3rd week of a new Primary and that's the way I'm leaning now. New Primary cycles are typically very bullish, particularly when the long term trend has been bullish.

From last weeks blog post:

"New Primary cycles also often pull back in the first 2-3 weeks of the cycle. Look for this potential pullback next week. A pullback to the 2087 - 2097 area is quite possible. If it's a new bullish Primary the cycle would then continue up from there. The pullback may start early next week and be over on July 23-24th or closer to the difficult aspects near the end of the month."

So we did get the pullback mentioned above starting on July 21.

Also from last weeks blog post:

"For subscribers who have shorted the SP500, if we get that pullback look to cover near the pullback lows. If the pullback is on strong volume and below 2108 you may wish to hold your shorts."

So the low was 2079.65, a good place to cover shorts as the pullback mentioned above may be over. That said this week end and next week have some very volatile Astrological events that could distort the normal flow, not to mention the continual manipulation in stocks, precious metals, Forex and other markets. In fact there are many Astrological events through to August 14th. I am very interested in the Astrology of this weekend and next as they are the types of aspects which can move the markets.

For now I'm going with this being 3rd week of a new Primary cycle which started July 7th . We've had a pullback so if this cycle is bullish, and there is no reason yet to expect otherwise, it should start to rise into the crest of the first 6 week cycle in the 18 week Primary cycle. If the SP500 continues down this would be a very negative sign as we are early in the nominal 18 week cycle which is normally bullish. Bear in mind this weekend has Uranus turning retrograde and it is aspected by Mars and parallel to Venus which is also turning retrograde. This could be a picture of a fake-out either in stocks or commodities. Watch this early next week.

I believe we are very near the top for this 6 year bullish move. The top will most probably be a long process rather than a single event.

If July 7th was the Primary cycle low it was 1 day off the estimated date at the bottom right of the following chart. The estimate was done in early February.

On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto

(blue lines) converted to price. We crashed through the Mars-Pluto planetary average which is now at 2109. I was expecting support here. There was none. I drew the green trend line on the chart which connected recent tops and is where I has going to cover shorts. It didn't break through so I held the shorts and covered today, July 24th.

On the chart the red dots are previous OPEX dates. (Option expiry, 3rd Friday of each month). The market has been pulling back after these dates and Friday was OPEX. I read this somewhere but forgotten the source.

The coming aspects could also indicate earthquake activity or severe weather. Violent events continue.

Mars and Mercury will form a powerful T-square with Uranus and Pluto. We should see volatility, surprise moves and possibly other news of world events. This period of unexpected moves and news should stretch into the first half of August. There should be more news than just Greece this month.

This has been a confusing time for many people. They feel something big is about to happen, but don't know what. I don't know what but I'm looking for something out of the ordinary by the end of October. It could be over the next few weeks.

This weekend has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency or bonds and major events on the world stage. Volatility should be seen in many markets. We've already seen some.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

Another chart we have not looked at for awhile is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2103. Watch for any significant break at this level. It has been good support / resistance for some time. It moved back below the 45 degree this week.

Another long term chart showing weakness is the following weekly chart of the SP500 with a 21 week (red) and 34 week (blue) weekly averages again showing weakness. Price has not spent much time below these moving averages during the massive move up. The 3 red squares are the Saturn / Uranus sesquisquare (135 degrees). I'm watching this weekly chart to see if the 21 sma crosses below the 34 week moving average.

In summary I continue to look at the markets in July to be volatile. I was looking for July to be down and at this point it's basically flat with a week to go. We got the move down I was expecting. The question now is does the SP500 start moving up again into the crest of the first 6 week cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle. If it does not move up this would be very bearish as we could be looking at a very left translated cycle.

This weekend and the first few days of next week, watch for the unusual or sudden event.

There are stressful and potentially violent aspects coming up and the potential for surprise moves this week and early August. The aspects near the end of the month and early August could be pointing to another debt event. Saturn turning direct in Scorpio and is in mutual reception with Pluto. This should have a strong effect.

Gold

Gold put in a  Primary cycle   ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 19th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week.  

It should be noted Gold has followed an 18-19 week cycle fairly closely for 2 years although there were some inversions (a high where a low was expected). We should be getting close to a trough. Subscribers have dates. Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.

Gold put in a high on Monday May 18th, the same day as Mercury turned retrograde and then headed down and it is still headed down. The aspects I mentioned at the end of the month are potentially momentous for precious metals and possibly currencies and bonds.

The Nov 17, 2014 low near 1130 was passed on July 17th, and we now sit at 1097.

We are monitoring another cycle for Gold which will hit in the summer but reserved for subscribers. That cycle and others  with the placement of Jupiter in the summer may be pointing to a strong reversal in Gold.

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day and there are a number of Astrological aspects which have a history of changes in trend for Gold. Watch for a quick reversal over the coming week or first week in August.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold was heading down and may have found support at the Venus and Jupiter price lines. Watch price action early in the week. The Miners (Gold Mining companies) often lead Gold higher. The miners moved up on Friday and I bought a number of Gold mining companies. I'll put them in the August letter.

On July 19, 2015 approximately 2.7 billion dollars of Gold was dumped on the market at 9:30 pm on a Sunday evening. This was at a time when the market was the least liquid. Whoever was selling was guaranteed to get the lowest price. This had the effect reducing Gold prices by $50.00 per ounce or approx. 4.2%. I bring this up as an example of market manipulation that is occurring. There are many other examples.

Crude

This coming week of July 27 we should be entering the 19th week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

I'm watching the dates around any Neptune or Jupiter aspects. July 1st had Venus conjunct Jupiter and the Sun trine Neptune, a big down day. There are other Astrological signatures with a history of moves in crude. Dates are reserved for subscribers.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).

Crude has broken below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from

June 12, 2014 to March 17, 2015. Both the 15 and 45 day sma's are rolling over and price is below both. It appears to be preparing for a nominal 18 week low. Bear in mind it is difficult trading crude here. The first week in August may turn out to be eventful for crude. Any news out of Saudi Arabia or other big producers or potential disruption would change crude prices quickly.

As seen on the following chart crude finally dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now sits close to the next Neptune price line which is 47.41.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

We are getting late in the nominal 18 week cycle in crude. Watch price closely as it approaches any of the price lines.

Another chart we have not shown for awhile is the weekly crude chart with the 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they meet the cycle line is green and is typically found at crests but sometimes inverts to a trough. The next green line is early November. 2015.
