Summary

This coming week looks very volatile with Mars translating the Uranus / Pluto waxing square, Mercury moving to the position of the Oct 23 Solar eclipse, Mercury moving into a grand trine with Neptune and Hades (a Uranian point) and the Sun squaring Jupiter.

Mars conjunct Pluto is a war aspect.

I'm looking for very volatile activity in many markets this coming week. We could get a high in this time frame and then down. Another option is a high near Dec 15th when the Uranus / Pluto waxing square is exact.

I'm looking to get short on any new high in price and if no new high late Monday or Tuesday.

SP500

This week's post will be a little shorter than usual as I'm working on the 1st half 2015 forecast dates.

We are entering the 14th week of the nominal 18 week cycle  ¹ (nominal 18 week) which started on Aug 7th. Some Astrologers are looking at the Oct 15th V-shaped low as the 50 week or a new Primary cycle  ¹

I am still looking at the Oct 15th low as the  1/2 Primary  ¹ This no longer looks like a left translated bearish cycle, it is right translated and bullish. Being in the 14th week it is in the time frame for a Primary crest then down.

Following is the SP500 and shows the area for the potential low for this 18 week cycle.

Historically we are entering the strong period of the year for the markets. We also have the reaction to the mid-term elections in the US. It was pointed out to me this is typically very positive when there is a democratic president. This is based on averages but we should be aware of market tendencies to move in one direction or the other.

So we are at a very important juncture. Do we go up into the traditional positive time of the year or has 5 years of FED easy money so distorted valuations that the market can only go down. I'm still looking for a pull back but a dramatic increase in inflation would change this outlook.

This coming week should be very volatile in many markets. Subscribers have the dates.

The Uranus and Pluto waxing square will be coming back into focus over the coming weeks.  It will be exact on Dec 15. This will be the 6th exact square in this series of 7 exact squares. The last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The period around both these dates, Dec 15, 2014 and March 16, 2015 could be troublesome on the world stage and the financial markets in particular.

The following weekly chart of the Dow shows the occurrence of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square.

Gold

Gold is in the 1st week or 23rd of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week). It is difficult to forecast most of the commodities at this time due to possible deflationary forces and manipulation. Even if it is the 1st week of a new Primary cycle, which is typically bullish, it could turn back down quickly.

If this is the 23rd week of an older Primary then it is due to reverse and reverse quickly. There are a number of reasons for looking at the week of Nov 10th as a turn in precious metals.

Subscribers got a more detailed review of the longer term Gold aspects detailing an 8.5 year, 4.25 year and 17 month cycles.

The following weekly chart shows the heliocentric Jupiter (blue) and Venus (green) price lines. The Jupiter price line has acted as support for Gold in the past but has clearly broken through to the downside. This looks like a strong Doji on the weekly and we had a big range day up on the daily chart.

Like many markets, Gold should be volatile this coming week. Silver as well.

Silver is also in the 1st or 5th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ . The fist few days of the coming week may see a significant move in Gold and Silver.

The following chart shows the Venus (green) and Jupiter(blue) price lines on a daily chart for Silver. The trend often changes when these two price lines cross. If this is a new Primary cycle I would expect Silver to rise along the Venus (green) price line.

Crude

We are in the 1st week of a new Primary ¹ cycle. The last cycle was left translated which is bearish. If this is a new cycle forming watch for it to be left translated as well. There is a lot of deflationary pressure on many commodities, precious metals included.

There are many reason, US and Saudi intentionally over producing to drive out high cost producers and hurt Russia, ISIS and Iran. This plan seems to be working but there are always unforeseen repercussions. Western governments collect a lot of tax revenue from the price at the pump. If it is down the government revenues are down. Crude may be reflecting the real world economy. When crude does turn up it will probably be to lower highs. This is also causing problems between mid-East governments.

For crude I'm watching the 23.6% retracement level on the following daily chart. Crude seems to have entered a consolidation area. Perhaps this is the agreed price between the US and Saudi Arabia.

I'm looking for a trigger for crude. Aspects to Jupiter or Neptune, the rulers of crude would be good candidates. Possible candidates are:

Nov 11 Grand trine between Mercury / Neptune and Hades.

Nov 13 Sun waxing square to Jupiter

Nov 17 Neptune stationary direct on Sunday Nov 16

Nov 27 Sun square Neptune

On a longer term basis there is a 38-39 month cycle in crude, many commodities and the US$. The longer term cycles need a wider orb. This cycle could trough out from now to mid November. It could also be this week. The following weekly chart shows the 38/39 month cycle in crude.
