January 2012

SP500

Looking for a low early in the first week of January then up into the Jan 20 area.

See the next chart where the blue lines are the 21 week cycle bottoming this week and the 70td cycle (red) bottoming Jan 12. So we should see a trough before Jan 12 then up.

The next chart shows the 8th harmonic aspects between Mars and Jupiter (red squares). The next occurrence is Feb 15. Looking at the recent history this could be a high or a low but the recent history points to this being a high. The black dots on the chart are the Moon Pluto conjunctions. The next one being Jan 20. Again the recent history is is for this aspect to be a high although there are some lows. I'm looking at this being a high at this time.

US$

The next chart is the US Dollar Index. The red circles are the 90 degree Mercury Saturn aspects the next one being Jan 27 close to the 90 cd cycle (blue lines). I'm suspecting this will be a s/t high.

Crude

The 18 month cycle in crude oil is due around Jan 27. See the red lines on the following chart. Jan 27 is also the date where the Sun is at the antiscia of the Nov 25 eclipse. This could effect crude, stock indexes and the US$. Difficult to determine if it is a high or a low in crude although I'm leaning to a short term low and perhaps the end of the current primary cycle.

For January we are in the 13^th week of the 15-23 week primary cycle. Times to watch out for are Jan 22 with the Sun squared Jupiter and around Jan 27 +- 1 week which is the 18 month cycle. Either of these dates could mark highs then down.

Gold and Silver

Both PM's have ugly charts which need some work to turn around. Of course with the debt news coming out of Europe these could turnaround very quickly. My suspicion is Gold and Silver really take off if there is a failed treasury auction in the US. In the mean time I would suggest watching closely particularly around Jan 11 when heliocentric Mercury enters Sagittarius. This has traditionally been a strong period for Gold.
