FinancialCyclesWeekly.com Weekly Update #1427 - July 06-12, 02014 with Tim Bost Preparing To Trade The Jupiter-Apollon Square Will This Major Alignment Continue Defining Resistance for the S&P 500? Traders who watch planetary cycles but who fail to keep an eye on the Transneptunians often miss out on vital perspectives that can open up important trading opportunities. For example, the role that Zeus played in amplifying the power of the Grand Cross this spring was overlooked by many astrologers, and as a result they didn't expect the sustained impact that the alignment actually had. The reason we mention that oversight now is because we've got another big Transneptunian dynamic just ahead of us, and once again it's getting almost no attention from many astro-trading pundits. It's the alignment of Jupiter with the Transneptunian Apollon in a waning square a couple of hours after the NYSE closing bell on Thursday, July 10. This is a powerful and important event, and we want to be sure that we take it into consideration as we review the potential for a significant trading top this month (visit http://vibrationcode.com/timetop to get the new report on "How To Time The Next Market Trading Top"). Our back-testing of this aspect with the S&P 500 shows it to be extremely bearish-- that index has declined about 78% of the time after previous such alignments. But even though this planetary configuration may help define a trading top, it does not mean that the Jupiter/ Apollon alignment on July 10 will necessarily coincide with the precise date that the market turns. This is especially true since Apollon will be retrograde at the time of the alignment; it will continue its retrograde motion through July 14. One week after the aspect, on July 17, Apollon will be in direct motion and the Jupiter/Apollon square will again be activated as Apollon returns to the position it occupied at the time of the July 10 alignment. This makes July 14 and July 17 critical dates to watch for market inflection points. We will also be watching key transits to this alignment by Mars on July 23, by Mercury on July 31, and by Venus on August 11, as well other key transits that occur later in the year. The Jupiter/Apollon waning square on July 10 triggers the midpoint of transiting Venus and Neptune, adding enormously to the kind of speculative energy that can push stock prices to giddy heights (where there’s the possibility of a trading top!). In early June, as we began to focus on the upcoming Jupiter/Apollon square, we identi- fied potential resistance at 1964 and 2009 based on this aspect. The 1964 level held the S&P through the end of June; since then we’ve begun to focus on the 2009 level.

Preparing To Trade The Jupiter-Apollon Square
Will This Major Alignment Continue Defining Resistance for the S&P 500?
