SP500

Following my post 2 weeks ago the next chart updates activity since that post. As discussed the SP index is approaching the trend line and I thought it would come up and kiss the line then retreat. This is more possible now as we have also hit the geocentric 45 degree Uranus and Pluto price lines.

If you look back these two planets have acted as support and resistance for some time.

If the index breaks through the trend line and Uranus / Pluto price lines on good volume then watch out for fast move up. If the SP500 does head up from here I'd be looking at mid July and probably around the very important July 17th dates where Uranus turns retrograde. I don't think this will happen but it is possible.

We also had shown the 225 calendar day cycle. This cycle is based on 365 *.618 = 225 cd's or the square root of 5 which is 2.236, move some decimals and we get 224 cds. 225 is also the number of earth days to make one heliocentric rotation of Venus around the Sun.

This has been fairly reliable (blue vertical line) on the following daily chart. It has also been on a high / low cycle and I was expecting a high here but we may have had an inversion and a low on June 24th. Watch this closely early next week as this may have recorded a high on June 28 and that would agree with the chart above (i.e. we should be going down).

One more look at the SP500. We are starting the 12th week of the primary cycle and the 5th week of the 2nd major cycle. It is possible we are in the 19th week of an older primary but I'll work with the 12th week for now.

This chart also has a fib retracement for the period from April 18 (the start of the current primary)  to May 22nd the current top. Many things to note but I draw your attention to the fib 38.2% approximately where we closed on Friday. I'm looking for this area to hold. Note the blue and red moving averages which appear to be turning up. Again watch this area closely early next week. We're in a bit of a mess here.

Gold / Silver

I believe Gold is close to a 4.25 year low. Close in this case could be measured in weeks or months as it is the 4.25 year cycle trough. This may take some time but I expect the low before then end of August and it could be any day. The following chart shows the 4.25 year cycle and it is a half cycle to the 8.5 year cycle in Gold trough to trough. Note the fib retracement (red lines). We are coming down to the 61.8% at 1167. The retracement is based on the low in Nov 2008 to the high in Sept 2011.

The following chart shows the 610td time fibs from Jan 28, 2011. We could be seeing the low at any time. That light blue circle near the current bottom is the Sun opposition to Pluto. Pluto aspects very often effect Gold. We will be having a number of these over the next 2 months.

Crude
Crude continues on up. Looking for a high mid July around the July 17 date where we have Uranus turning retrograde.

At some point Natural Gas should wake up and we want to be on board, but not yet.

Coffee
A number of people have asked about coffee. It's still not moving. As mentioned before I'm watching Neptune as it rules coffee and there are a number of significant Neptune transits coming up. I think the interest in coffee is the result of someone else's prediction.

Summary
This month has a rare grand trine which hits July 17 when Uranus turns retrograde. The grand trine would usually considered favourably but in this case aspects to Saturn and Neptune have tended to expose lies, deceit and corruption. Watch events closely around the July 17 date. It is important. The Saturn Neptune trine is exact on July 19 an OPEX day and is the day before Mercury turning direct. Could be a day of surprises. Another Astrologer had pointed out Mars will be entering Cancer on July 13 and this could manifest events at the FED.

Later in July Mars will be translating the Uranus / Pluto square. This could be explosive and violent. Don't worry about this though. Events gets worse in August.

For upcoming dates in August, please review the June 16, 2013 post. If you are new here I always use a minimum of +- 3 trading days around all dates unless otherwise noted.

PS I usually don't repeat myself so there are valid dates and comments in recent posts which could affect this and future months.
