SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 22nd week of the Primary  ¹ cycle which started on Feb. 2nd 2015.  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks so we are just outside the normal range.

The market letter is now a monthly report and the July issue has been sent out. The first ALERT has been sent to subscribers last week as well. We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming.

It is possible June 29th was the nominal 18 week cycle low. Price was below both the 15 day sma and the 45 day sma and the 15 day was below the 45 day. This fits a nominal 18 week cycle trough at the 21st week. As good a fit as this is I'm looking for July to be negative. This is based on key Astrological signatures sent to subscribers. My work will assume we are in the 22nd week of an older Primary, just keep in mind it's possible we have seen the trough which would be bullish.

July has many negative aspects. The Uranus / Pluto square that we have followed for a number of years is still in orb. The last exact hit was in March of this year but it's effects will be felt into 2019.

This month the Sun then Mars and Mercury will translate the Uranus / Pluto square. This should be negative/volatile for the markets and world affairs in general. There are also aspects to Saturn and Pluto. Currently Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception meaning Saturn is in the sign Pluto rules and Pluto is in the sign Saturn rules. This typically makes the effects of both planets more powerful. Saturn in Scorpio is all about debt and other peoples money.

The Sun then Mars 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.

In addition to the above mentioned T-squares, the end of the month in particular has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect which we'll cover next month. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month and a half. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency and major events on the world stage. Volatility will be seen in many markets and debt should be at center stage. Traders should do well in a volatile market.

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

I was looking at 2080, 2066 or 2050 as potential targets for this Primary cycle trough for the SP500. We did dip below the 2056 area, again giving some credence to the nominal 18 week cycle hitting it's trough on June 29th.

The other current cycle we've been following is the 168 td (trading day) cycle.

I'm looking at the blue line on May 21st as being the crest of the 168 td cycle and another indication we should be moving down.

June 14th. had Saturn Retrograde moving backward into Scorpio. This is happening while Saturn is almost semi-square Pluto, the two thugs of the Zodiac. This is exact on June 20th and should emphasize the Saturn / Pluto energies. These two powerful planets are in mutual reception, that is Saturn is in Scorpio which Pluto rules and Pluto is in Capricorn which Saturn rules. This gives Pluto more support and staying power in it's role to change banking and money in general. Saturn in Scorpio creates tension and can effect the emotions in a negative way (depression?) and a detrimental effect on health. We could see a pandemic or other disease come to the fore while Saturn is in Scorpio (MERS?).

.

There are other transits pointing to a potential stronger move down, reserved for subscribers.

I'm also back to looking for geophysical upsets, earthquakes and volcanic activity particularly mid-month and early August.

Gold

Gold appears to have put in a put in a Primary cycle   ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 16th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week.  

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. Gold had a Hammer Doji on Friday, a sign of bullish reversal. We sometimes see a number of hammers before the reversal takes place. The aspects I mentioned at the end of the month are potentially momentous for precious metals and possibly currencies.

The Nov 17, 2014 low near 1130 was challenged on March 17th around 1142. I'm looking for the current move down to find support in that range, 1130-1142. A reversal in Gold could occur at any time.

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.

As noted last week, Mercury retrograde has a strong history of changes in trend for Gold close to the retrograde date. In this case it was to the day. The direct date also has a history of changes in Gold price (June 11th).

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.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold is heading down to either the Venus (green) price line near 1153 or the Jupiter (blue) price line currently near 1140. We should be getting close to a reversal.

Crude

This coming week of July 6 we should be entering the 16th 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 now sits close to 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 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 on the next Neptune price line at 56.44. They are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.
