slam down in the Euro, and strength of the U.S. Dollar also puts pressure on commodities like Gold and Silver, because they trade in U.S. Dollars. Both were making new monthly highs before the ECB announcement. By Friday, the next day, Gold was trading at its lowest level of 2018. However, Silver was well above its low for this year, for a developing case of intermarket bullish divergence. Bitcoin also took a hit last week. It fell to 6129 on June 13, its lowest mark since the big drop from December 18 into February 6, down to 5911. From a charting point of view, this creates a problem because this cryptocurrency broke below the base of a contracting triangle, which now puts it at risk of falling below $5000, per our recent webinar comments. We will discuss it again – and show our studies - in our next webinar, which will take place next Friday, June 22, at the AAGB conference outside of London (see announcements at the end of this column).
Repressed market prices were also witnessed in precious metals and bitcoin last week. Both Gold and Silver fell to new lows for this year, as Gold traded below 1250 and Silver below 1600. But both closed up on Friday, which in the case of Gold, is a key reversal up signal that will mean something if Monday is also up nicely. Bitcoin closed below 6000, which breaks the lower line of a contracting triangle, which is usually a bearish indicator. The full moon on Saturn, and Mars retrograde seemed to place a lot of pressure on these markets last week. However, hope for the precious metals may be on the way if the currency markets are any indication. The Euro held above its double bottom on pullbacks last week and ended Friday on a very bullish note. It formed a triple bottom around 1.1500 late last week, which may be a spring board to the start of a new 17-month cycle, which is due. It all fits well with last week’s column, stating, “We may see behaviors start to shift by (or shortly after) the full moon in Capricorn at the end of this week, June 27-29. That full moon is also conjunct Saturn (Sun/Saturn opposition), just a day after Mars turns retrograde. We already see a heavy Venus grand square in force, combined with a strong Neptune, stationary. To that, the cosmos will now add a heavy Saturn/Capricorn influence with a powerful Mars stationary. This brings to mind the pressure cooker reaching an extreme boiling point. Then this offensive dynamic gradually recedes, as the Moon begins to wane over the following two weeks, and Jupiter starts to assert his dominance. The mood probably becomes lighter, although there is a possibility that everything becomes even more exaggerated, and morphs into hysteria. I am thinking that we may get a break, and conscientious acts of kindness and efforts exhibiting goodwill may become noticeable.”
This brings us to the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump next week. The solar eclipse takes place on July 12, in opposition to Pluto, and also during Mars retrograde. The opposition to Pluto implies an underlying agenda is present that may be “top secret.” The Mars retrograde implies it will likely not be enacted as wished; there will be problems in getting the support, or actors in place, necessary to carry the plan out. You wonder who or what is being eliminated or undermined. With whom and where will the chess master Putin align? China or the USA? Does he – Libra that he is - even know yet? The solar eclipse is also making a grand trine with Jupiter and Neptune, and it’s a north node eclipse (not a south node one), which means there is promise and hope here. But in typical Neptunian fashion, that may be more the illusion than the reality. It will look and sound promising, with the prospect of a hero emerging. But who is the master of the hero-puppet that is being presented as one who is going to rescue – save - the threat of a trade war that engulfs the world’s attention now? My view is that the major factor at work is the planet making a conjunction or opposition to the solar eclipse – Pluto, in this case – and the other aspects are only window dressing that contain far less impact. Be prepared for a week - or six weeks – of some incredible maneuvers taking place on the world stage. The world may look very different by the end of August. This is shaping up to be another important step in “The Great Reset” that alters the way we conduct business with one another.

I know, this is a market report and here I am giving psychological advice. Here is some advice for market traders. Expect wild price swings as unexpected events and sudden changes of mind and policies are announced. Understand that no support or resistance level is safe from being taken out (that may pertain to other mundane matters as well). Many markets may fall far harder, or rally far more spectacularly, than you imagined, July 25-August 9. And then they may reverse. Don’t buy support, but rather wait to buy beneath support. Don’t sell resistance but wait for exhaustion (and there will likely be plenty of exhaustion). Pay very close attention to strong movements and reversals in tech stocks and wheat prices. Weather and sudden events in nature or the electrical grid may cause havoc. There may be much electricity in the air, and tremendous chemistry (attraction) between people, but it may not all be safe or familiar. Go for safe and familiar if you are not sure.

Read from here.28/8/22 “Always remember, child, that to think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral you down into ever increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that discipline, training, is about. So, train your mind to dwell on sweet perfumes, a touch of this silk, the tranquility of dawn. Then, at length, you won’t have to make such a great effort and you will be of value to yourself.” – James Clavell, “Shogun,” Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1994. This quote is for all who are struggling to maintain a positive attitude about the future, when the current reality of the world seems to be in such dire straits. You can’t ignore the reality, but unless you can change it, there is little benefit in worrying about it, which your mind, if left to itself, will do. One geocosmic factor that allows me to think more positively about the future is the realization that all the outer planets will be changing signs soon. This is very rare and represents a sea change of the human predicament, as described before. That is, Pluto moves from Capricorn to start its 20-year trek through Aquarius beginning March 23, 2023, just two weeks after Saturn leaves Aquarius and begins its three-year passage through Pisces. Uranus will begin its exit out of Taurus and into Gemini over the next eight years in 2025, while Neptune leaves Pisces and starts a 14-year journey through Aries starting in 2025. On February 20, 2026, Saturn will conjoin Neptune in 0°Aries, forming a double sextile to Uranus and Pluto, which will be in a favorable air trine aspect to one another. I think these long-term cyclical cosmic ingresses are indicative of a renaissance for humanity, an end to the fears of “the end times.” And an awakening to a new world in which the heaviness (and the psychologically “heavy” leaders) of the past leave the world stage that they have dominated for far too long. The next generation of leadership will bring a new spirit, and as with all cycles, the first phase may be rough at first but they are exciting and bullish, to borrow a market expression. I think the financial world could first witness a serious setback followed by a serious financial revival, somewhat similar to the “Information Superhighway” communications’ revolution of the 1990’s. I don’t know specifically how this will unfold, but my knowledge of astrology and the historical correlation of planetary cycles to cycles in human activity makes me confident that the world will begin a very different and more adult-like path related to the events of 2023-2026. It will be worth hanging around to witness this, possibly even contributing to this soon-to-be emerging paradigm shift
