MMA WEEKLY COMMENTS AND TRADE RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR WEEK OF FEBRUARY 13, 2017

Comments: Please take a moment to view my weekly geocosmic comments on the stock market. Alternatively, you can go to , and then choose Weekly Preview. For other web sites in English: English2 or English3. We are also pleased to announce that these weekly geocosmic comments are now available in German – Dutch - French - Italiano – Japanese –Russian –Serbian2, , , .

Geocosmic Critical Reversal Dates

These dates affect all markets. They are the midpoints of geocosmic clusters, and have a range of three days either side. Sometimes they expand to as much as five days. The idea is to see a new two-week or greater high or low, and then a reversal. It is especially effective when major, half-primary, or primary cycle troughs are due. These are more important than the solar-lunar reversal dates. The more stars there are next to the date, the greater the historical correlation with a cycle end and reversal. For more information, please read Volume 3 of the Stock Market Timing series. Below is the date of the midpoint and in parentheses the length of time containing the geocosmic signatures (known as a “cluster”). If the cluster is long (more than 15 days), there may be other possible reversals, based on tighter geocosmic clusters, within the greater cluster.

Feb 8-9* Here we are. Stocks, metals, crude oil, metals, and currencies made or making highs

Feb 27-28*** Begins the most potent geocosmic zone of the year through April 21

March 1-4** The end part of the greater time band above (Venus retrograde and second Jupiter/Uranus opposition)

These periods are usually more important than the solar-lunar reversal zones, but not necessarily any more accurate. It is just that when they do hit, they usually correspond with major, half-primary, or full primary cycles, whereas lunar reversals need only correspond to 2.5% reversals.

DJIA Cash: Last week’s all-time high and close was bullish again and maintains the bullish sequence. The close was also above the weekly trend indicator point (TIP) for the 3rd consecutive week, which means it is upgraded to a trend run up.

This week’s trend indicator point (TIP) is 20,051. It will be downgraded back to neutral if this week’s close is below there.

Weekly support is 20,082-20,122. A close below this support level is bearish. A trade below, followed by a close back above this range, is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 20,377-20,417. A close above this range is bullish. A trade above here, followed by a close back below this range, is a bearish trigger.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect at 18,931-19,018, 18,043-18,408, 17,348-17,352, 15,029-15,149, 13,717-13,760, 13,070-13,163, 12,799-12,802, 11,513-11,572, and 8266-8433.

The DJIA closed above other bearish crossover zones recently at 18,083-18,087 and 18,318-18,367. It closed above another some time ago at 16,892-17,314, so these are now support.

Trend Indicator Studies

The basic trend indicator remains bullish. It will turn bearish if prices fall below the start of the current primary cycle, which was the low of 17,883 made on November 4.

The weekly moving average trend indicator study also remains bullish. Prices closed at 20,269, up 198 points from the prior week’s close. The close was above both the 25-week moving average (19,027) and 34-week MA (18,834), and the 25-week MA remains above the 34-week moving average, which makes it bullish. If prices close back below 18,834, it will be downgraded to neutral.

The daily moving average trend study is also bullish. The close last week was above the 14-day MA (20,035), which is still above the 42-day MA (19,925), and the 14-day MA remains above the 42-day MA, so it is bullish. A close below 19,925 will downgrade it to neutral. If the 14-day MA turns back below the 42-day MA, with prices below each, it will be downgraded to bearish.

Leading Indicator Studies

Long-Term Cycles – still bullish, no change

The 6.5- and 4-year cycle lows occurred on August 24, 2015 at 15,370. Both cycles remain in their bullish phase. A move below 17,883, the last primary cycle low on November 4 would start to question this trend now.

The 17,063 low of June 27 was the 50-week cycle low, as discussed in previous weekly reports. Thus, this starts the 33rd week of the 50-week cycle, so it is still bullish, but maturing. As stated in prior reports, “If we are correct that the 4- and 6.5-year cycle lows occurred August 24, 2015, then we are still in the early stages of those long-term cycles. That means that this 50-week cycle (only the second within the 4-year cycle) is likely to be a bullish “right translation” pattern. Rallies in “right translation cycles” tend to last 25-55 weeks (91% rate of frequency historically). The all-time high is now February 10 at 20,298, the 33rd week. It is fulfilling the time band for the high, but it can still go higher and be completed anytime in the next 22 weeks, if it didn’t happen Friday, Feb 10.

Previously, we also stated, “However, we now note that the Saturn/Uranus trine is coming up December 24 and lasting through November 11, 2017. Historically, that has coincided with the crest of 4-year or greater cycles…. To this, we also add that a cardinal T-square (of) November 24, 2016-September 27, 2017, with the greatest coverage February 22-April 21. This pattern often correlates to a sudden sharp decline in world stocks.” As stated last week, “There is still time within the 50-week cycle and within the Saturn/Uranus trine to go higher. It could happen in the most powerful geocosmic time band of the year, February 22-April 21.” We are getting close now to a possible all-time high and big reversal, signified by geocosmic studies.

The Primary Cycle and Geocosmics:

February 13 starts the 15th week of the 13-21 week primary cycle, following the 17,883 low of November 4. It is getting old (seldom does it go beyond 18 weeks before topping out). We are therefore in the time band for a normal primary cycle, due anytime in the next 6 weeks. Ideally, it will be 2-5 weeks after the primary cycle crest, which is still unfolding, and due anytime in the next 4 weeks.

It also appears that this will be a two-phase primary cycle pattern, consisting of two 8-11 week half-primary cycles. If so, this starts the 4th week of the second 8-11 week half-primary cycle following the low of 19,678 on January 19, just one trading day before our Jan 20-23 one-star critical reversal date CRD). If on time, the second half-primary cycle will bottom in 4-7 weeks. It will overlap the time band for the primary cycle trough in 4-6 weeks (March 13-31).

Last week stated, “I think geocosmics support the idea of a new all-time high this week.” This outlook was based on the ideas stated the week before as, “There was a pullback last week but it ended on Jan 23, and then rallied to a new all-time high on Jan 26, one day before the Venus/Saturn square. Although it is possible that high will stand, my bias is that the DJIA will go higher, into either Feb 6-13, when Jupiter turns stationary retrograde and the Sun trines Jupiter, or the solar eclipse and Venus retrograde period of Feb 26-March 6… Shorter-term, we also note that transiting Jupiter is conjunct to the NYSE natal Jupiter trine Pluto, January 24-February 17. More often than not, all this Jupiter energy coming up would be viewed as bullish for stocks. Uranus is also in opposition to the NYSE Jupiter through April 10, which means we could see very large price swings both ways… As I see it, the high could form in the next 5 trading sessions, or within a week of our next three-star CRD of February 27-28.” This analysis continues to be valid and on target.

Yet, even though prices did soar to a new all-time high on Friday, Feb 10, in the Jupiter transit time band given before, I am still of the opinion that the powerful geocosmic signatures of Feb 22-March 6 could act like a magnet, pulling equity prices even higher. As stated before, “An even more powerful CRD is coming up Feb 27-28, which correlates with the solar eclipse in Pisces (Feb 27), the second Jupiter/Uranus opposition (March 1), and Venus retrograde (March 4). That relates to “irrational exuberance,” and this could also be an all-time high and perhaps the end to this great 8-year bull market (it started on March 6, 2009 when Venus also turned retrograde in this same sector of the zodiac, something it does every 8 years). There is also a practical reason too why stocks might top out Feb 22-April 21 – there will likely be record IRA and retirement fund contributions made this year before baby boomers have to start withdrawing from these accounts for the next several years, even several decades. This could be the top of the stock market for some time to come, as suggested by Saturn trine Uranus.”

Technicals, Chart Patterns, and Price Targets:

As stated three weeks ago, “If last week’s low (Jan 19) was a half-primary cycle trough, then the DJIA will now rally and challenge the all-time high of 19,999, probably rally into our Feb 22-March 6 reversal zone. If it closes much above 20,000, then we have another upside target to 20,985 +/- 366 for this primary cycle crest.”

Last week offered other upside price targets. As stated then, “Also, there was a gap up in Friday at 19,923-19,964. As long as prices remain above 19,923 that might be a measuring gap (one had formed the prior week, but it was quickly negated). This one might hold longer because there is so much Jupiter activity occurring, which means optimism (buying, bullish) or hysteria (panic, selling). If it is a true measuring gap, then the upside price target becomes 20,209 +/- 63. The next level, if more bullish, would be 20,508 +/- 98.”

Intermarket bullish or bearish divergence signals will still be important to watch, especially Feb 20-March 10. But such a signal would have to be considered potentially important if it occurs this week too, for we are still within three trading days of the Feb 8-9 one-star CRD that contained two important Jupiter signatures (exaggeration of price). Whether that holds a crest right now, or the Feb 27-28 +/- 1 week continues the blow-off, is uncertain, but the Feb 27-28 three-star CRD is much more powerful. As stated last week, “…. the Feb 27-28 three-star CRD could be either blow-off top, or the end of a brief and very sharp decline (even 1000 points). The period Feb 22-March 6 contains Mars conjunct Uranus, in opposition to Jupiter. Whenever Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus are involved in a planetary configuration, the possibility of a huge price swing is great. This is one of those rare periods.”

The stochastic oscillator is pointing up, but so far not making a new high as price makes a new high. It could become a bearish oscillator divergence if prices close below support this week. Lunar cycle indicates we need to watch Tuesday-Wednesday this week for a possible high too. It is also the end of this one-star CTD period, so even though I think prices will explode higher into Feb 22-March 6, we cannot rule out the possibility of a high forming now, and a sharp decline into Feb 22-March 6.

Lunar cycles for the next two weeks are as follows: Anything above 113 means there is a higher than expected probability of a reversal from an isolated high or low. The more *, the more likely a reversal. The more #, the less likely a reversal:

Feb 13 84.0

Feb 14-15 138.6*

Feb 16-17 103.0

Feb 20 138.6**

Feb 21-23 98.9

Feb 23-24 114.1* (change is at noon 2/23, hence it appears in two scores)

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 19,800.

Aggressive traders are also long with a stop-loss on a close below 19,900 or 19,800, depending on your risk allowance. Last week also stated, “Let’s cover the first 1/3 on a rally to 20, 200 +/- 50 this week... Our plan is to wait until Feb 24-March 6 to exit and go short.” So, we have a decent profit on the first third. Let’s take another 1/3 profit on a rally to 20,500 +/- 50.

ESH (Mar S&P e-mini): Last week’s close was bullish and follows the prior week’s bullish bias and creates a second bullish sequence. The close was also above the weekly trend indicator point (TIP) for the 6th consecutive week, which means it remains in a trend run up.

The weekly TIP is now 2288.50. It will be downgraded back to neutral if this week’s close is below there.

Weekly support is 2290.50-2295.50. A close below this range would be bearish, whereas a trade below and a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 2325.25-2330.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect in the nearby contract at 2206.75-2219.25, 1661.25-1663, 1405.50-1418, 1381.75-1382.75, 1263-1263.25, 1184.25-1196.75, 889.55-902.40, and 791.10-791.25.

Price closed above a bearish crossover zone recently at 2105.75-2107.50. That is now support.

February 13 starts the 14th week of a newer 15-23 week primary cycle following the 2028.50 low on the evening of the election (shown as pre-market for November 9). It also starts the 7th week of the second 5-8 week major cycle phase, following the low of 2228 on December 30, a three-star CRD.

Like the DJIA, the ESH made a new all-time high, racing up to 2315.75 on Friday, February 10. As stated last week, “This labeling allows for the possibility of a secondary (major cycle) crest this week, and a decline to the major cycle low within the next two weeks. If so, it might be that we get a high by mid-week and then a 2-8 day decline to that major cycle trough.” The time band for high would normally be Feb 8-9, +/- 3 trading days, which goes into this Tuesday, Feb 14. If there is to be a major cycle trough this week or next, then this rally would likely end early this week. If ESH makes a new high in the pre-market before DJIA opens on Monday, then we could see a case of intermarket bearish divergence and a 3-8 day decline to the major cycle trough. Or, it could be more serious, falling very sharply in to Feb 22-March 6 for a full primary cycle low. My best guess is that we get a high early this week, a somewhat sharp 3-8 day pullback (maybe only to the 15-day moving average, which is now at 2279 and rising, but not below the 45-day, which is 2232 and rising). Once the low is in, another fast and furious rally could commence that ends by March 10, followed by a very sharp 2-5 week decline to the primary bottom.

The reason I don’t think a decline will be that prolonged just yet is because this is tax season, and more importantly, the season when investors will put a lot of money into their IRA and retirement accounts. I think there will be record contributions this year, and that money will find its way into stock mutual funds, driving stock prices even higher. This season ends April 17 or 18 (usually April 15, but that is a Saturday), but I think most of the funding is taking place now through March 15.

We will want to monitor the possibility of intermarket bearish divergence this week where one or two indices make a new all-time high, but at least one other does not. Or, a case of bearish oscillator divergence where markets make new highs, but the 15-day slow stochastic does not, and then curls back down. That could happen early this week, but I would also look for this again Feb 27-28, +/- 1 week, if ESH and other indices continue higher, due to retirement funding that lasts into March, as explained.

Last week also stated, “If prices do make a new all-time high, the price target is 2332.75 +/- 12.50 or 2306.50 +/- 9.25.” Last week’s high was 2315.75.

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop-loss up to a close below 2250. Traders were advised, “You may cover 1/3 on a rally to 2315 +/- 10.” The high was right there (2315.75), so we have a nice profit on the first 1/3.

Aggressive traders are also long with a stop-loss on a close below 2260. Traders were advised, “You may cover 1/3 on a rally to 2315 +/- 10 here as well…” So, we have an excellent profit here too on the first 1/3. You may cover another 1/3 at 2330 +/- 6 if offered, or if there is a case of intermarket bearish divergence with DJIA or NQH, where one makes a new all-time high and the other(s) do not. If you get taken out due to intermarket bearish divergence, then look to buy back on a decline to 2270 +/- 10 with a stop-loss on a close below 2250.

NQH (Mar e-mini NASDAQ): Last week’s close was bullish and follows the prior week’s bullish bias, which is a bullish sequence. The close was also above the weekly trend indicator point (TIP) for the 6th consecutive week, which means it remains in a trend run up.

This week’s trend indicator point (TIP) is 5151.25. It will be downgraded back to neutral if this week’s close is below there.

Weekly support is 5167.25-5180.75.

Weekly resistance is 5259.50-5273.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect at 5085.75-5093.50 and 4410-4418.

Prices previously closed above bearish crossover zone at 4747-4756, 4437-4540.25, 4410-4419, and 4176-4178, so these are all now support zones.

This starts the 14th week of a 15-23 week primary cycle following the low of 4558.50 on November 9. Another new all-time high occurred on Friday, February 10, at 5232.50 here as well.

Like the other indices, this market is making a new all-time high in this Feb 8-9 one-star Jupiter transit CRD, +/- 3 trading days. Still, we are more focused on the Feb 27-28 reversal zone (say Feb 25-March 6) three-star CRD, for it is particularly important to the NASDAQ, tech-heavy, index. I prefer to see the market continue higher into then, although there is a possibility it tops out early this week and then falls heavy into then. Either way, we are posturing ourselves for a trade then, either a buy or a sell, depending on what it does going into then.

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 5050. You may cover 1/3 for profit on a rally to 5275 +/- 25.

Aggressive traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 5050, and were advised to “… cover 1/3 on a rally to 5200 +/- 25…” So, we go that. This week you may cover another 1/3 at 5300 +/- 25 or on a case of intermarket bearish divergence with ESH or DJIA. If you do get filled on a case of intermarket bearish divergence, then buy back at 5100 +/- 25, same stop-loss.

EUC (Euro Cash - The ETF for longs is FXE): Last week’s close was bearish. And the close was below the weekly trend indicator point for the 1st time in 6 weeks, which means it is downgraded back to neutral.

This week’s trend indicator point is 1.0710. It will be upgraded back to a trend run up if it closes above there this week.

Weekly support is 1.0541-1.0563. A weekly close below this range is bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 1.0735-1.0757. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Prices previously closed below a bullish crossover zone at 1.1034-1.1054, so this is now a resistance area.

Bearish crossover zones remain in effect at 1.1087-1.1128, 1.2111-1.2135, 1.3071-1.3101, 1.3332-1.3358, 1.4386-1.4409, and 1.5322-1.5458.

This starts the 6th week of the 23-37 week primary cycle off the 1.0339 low of January 3, an exact three-star CRD (Critical Reversal Date). As stated before, “That could have also been the end and start of the 16.5-year cycle, which will take some time to confirm, but if so, the Euro would be bullish for several years.” That means this also starts the 6th week of the first 8-12 week major cycle. The crest of that major cycle may have occurred the prior week, on February 2, at 1.0828. If so, a normal corrective decline would take the Euro back to 1.0583 +/- .0058. It is already in that range, so this might be just a 4-6 week trading cycle trough. Forming in the Feb 8-9 one-star CRD +/- 3 trading days (ends this Tuesday).

However, there is some concern now because prices are dropping back below the former upward trendline of a contracting triangle. As stated a couple of weeks ago, “Last week (Jan 27) closed above the extension of a former upward trendline on the weekly chart that had been broken in November. It is now at 1.0670-1.0675. If it remains above there, it is bullish and that will become support on a weekly closing basis… We have an initial price target for a rally up to 1.0826 +/- .0058.” Well, the high was 1.0828 - right there - and now prices are closing back below that line. As stated last week, “It needs to be pointed out that as prices made a new cycle high last week, in our price target zone, it was under a bearish oscillator divergence signal. Failure to continue higher could lead to a corrective decline back to 1.0583 +/- .0058. A close below the 23- and 69-day moving averages (1.0644-1.0654) would mean the correction is underway. It could be even lower if the 16.5-year cycle is still unfolding, but for now, we will assume there will be support here because it is still only in the first phase of a newer primary cycle (bullish phase).”

Thus, the concern is if prices do continue lower, below the 1.0339 of January 3, then we are back on course for the Dollar to make a new high too, which was ideally due January 2017, +/- 6 months. We could be back on course for that right into Feb 25-March 10.

Previously, we also stated, “The weekly stochastics look very good, pointing straight up. This is beginning to look like it might be the start of a new 16.5-year cycle too, and if so, the Euro will be bullish for at least 2-5 years... If that is the case, the Euro could climb back above 1.2000 soon. Thus, it presents a good risk/reward setup for going long with a stop-loss on a close below 1.0339.” This might be the proper time to adopt that good risk/reward trade as we are nearing a 50% corrective decline level.

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 1.0339. Traders were advised, “You may cover 1/3 for profits now anywhere above 1.0800.” Hmmm, the high was 1.0800 exactly. If you covered, then look to buy back at 1.0575 +/- .0075.

Aggressive traders are also long with a stop-loss on a close below 1.0339 after taking nice profits on 2/3 earlier. Traders were advised last week, “Buy those positions back at 1.0600 +/- .0025.” The low was 1.0606, so we are fully long again.

Mar Euro (UROH): Weekly support is 1.0550-1.0573. Resistance is 1.0734-1.0757. Weekly TIP is 1.0724. The difference between cash and futures is .0004 to futures.

JYC (Dollar/Yen Cash): Last week’s close was neutral And the close was below the weekly trend indicator point for the 6th consecutive week, which means it remains in a trend run down.

This week’s trend indicator point is 113.47. It will be upgraded back to neutral if this week’s close is above there.

Weekly support is 111.89-112.05. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 114.17-114.33. A weekly close above this range is bullish. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect at 108.69-108.70, 94.23-94.88, 84.68-84.79, 76.90-76.97, and 76.22-76.25.

Bearish crossover zones remain in effect at 122.31-122.46 and 123.40-123.62. It closed above others recently at 108.99-109.54, 105.76-106.17, and 1.0443-1.0491, so they now act as support.

This starts the 34th week of the 26-40 week primary cycle off the 99.08 low of June 24, and the 14th week of the second 13-20 week half-primary cycle. It is possible both of these cycles bottomed last Tuesday, Feb 7, when the Dollar/Yen fell to 1.1157. That was just one trading day before our Feb 8-9 one-star CRD. As it made that low, it was also a triple looping bullish stochastics pattern below 20%, and now it is pointed straight up and back above 25%, a bullish signal. It will be stronger with a close above weekly resistance. Until then, we have a bit of a conflict, for the Euro is setting up a buy, given that it has made a 50% corrective decline, but the Dollar is also giving a buy signal against the Yen, via stochastics. Which will prevail? Or will it be a case where the Euro goes up again the Dollar, but the Dollar rallies against the Yen? We may not know until we get to the Feb 22-March 6 reversal zone.

The Dec 15 high of 118.66 remains its highest mark since February 3, 2016. As reported after the high of Dec 15, “We are beginning to see signs that the U.S. Dollar may have topped out. Remember our prior reports, suggesting that the U.S. Dollar is due to make a 16-year cycle crest January 2017 +/- 6 months. That may have been it on Dec 15 in this cross currency. If not, a steep corrective decline could see prices fall back to 109.88 +/- 2.06.”

Strategy: Position traders are flat and may stand aside.

Aggressive traders are flat and may buy at 112.50 +/- .50 with a stop-loss on a close below 111.57. If stopped out, then we will look to buy closer to 1.0988 in the following 1-3 weeks.

Japanese Yen Mar (JYH): Weekly support is 87.34-87.53. Resistance is 89.16-89.35. Weekly TIP is 88.30.

Euro/Yen Spread – Cash: Last week’s close was mostly bearish. And the close was below the weekly trend indicator point for the 4th time in 5 weeks, which means it remains neutral.

This week’s trend indicator point is 121.59. It will be downgraded to a trend run down if prices close down this week.

Weekly support is 119.29-119.30. A weekly close below this range is bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 121.50-121.51. A weekly close above this range is bullish. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

A bullish crossover zone remains in effect at 118.18-118.24. Another was recently broken at 130.85-131.48, so this is now resistance.

A bearish crossover zone remains in effect at 125.52-126.20.

This starts the 34th week of the 23-37 week primary cycle off the 109.46 low of June 24 or the 1st week of a newer cycle off the 119.29 low of Feb 8, an exact one-star CRD. I like the looks of last week’s low, but it will need a close above weekly resistance to support the idea that it is a new primary cycle.

As stated last week, “If it is an older primary cycle, the price target is 116.73 +/- 1.72. But a close above 123.31 probably means it is a newer primary cycle and prices could go considerably higher.”

Strategy: Position traders are flat and may stand aside.

Aggressive traders were long, but stopped out on the close below 120.50 (it closed at 120.40). Let’s buy again at 120.25 +/- .25, with a stop-loss on a close below 119.25.

Swiss Franc Mar (SFH) (the ETF for longs is FXF): Last week’s close was bearish. The close was also below the weekly trend indicator point for the 1st time in 6 weeks, which means it is downgraded back to neutral.

This week’s trend indicator point (TIP) 1.0040. It will be upgraded back to a trend run up if prices close above there this week.

Weekly support is .9898-.9916. A close below is bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 1.0060-1.0079. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Prices closed below a bullish crossover zone at 1.0181-1.0207 recently, so this is now resistance.

A bearish crossover zone remains in effect at 1.0406-1.0461.

This starts the 6th week of a newer 23-37 week primary cycle. The high of this cycle so far remains 1.0163 on Jan 30, at 1.0163, one trading day after Venus/Saturn square of Jan 27. It has since fallen back to .9952 on Friday. This is in the normal corrective decline price target range of .9938 +/- .0053, and it is still within the Feb 8-9 one-star CRD, +/- 3 trading days. This could be a 4-6 week trading cycle low forming, or in the midst of a very large selloff into the Feb 22-March 6 three-star CRD that might test or even break below the .9713 low that started this cycle on January 3, the last three-star CRD.

As stated after the high of January 30, “Although that could be an early primary cycle, I would prefer to see it top out closer to a 2- or 3-star CRD, like Feb 27-28…. Stochastics are starting to curl down, so a pullback to .9925-.9990 is possible.”

Strategy: Position traders were flat and advised to “… buy at .9950 +/- .0025 with a stop-loss on a close below .9715” Got it.

Aggressive traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below .9713 after covering 1/3 previously for a nice profit earlier.

British Pound Cash (GBPUSD) by MMTA Graduate Ulric Aspegrén: Last week’s close at 1.2489 was neutral with a bullish bias, as the price went into the support zone and then closed above it, but below resistance. The close was above the weekly trend indicator point (TIP) for the 4th consecutive week, and just above the previous week’s close. The TIP is thus upgraded to a trend run up.

This week’s trend indicator point is 1.2510. It will be downgraded back to neutral if it closes below there this week.

Weekly support is 1.2361 -1.2370. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 1.2599 -1.2608. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

The bullish crossover zones (support) remain in effect at 1.0880-1.1320; 1.0725-1.0802.

The bearish crossover zones (resistance) remain in effect at 1.3172-1.3184; 1.1.4849-1.4859; 1.5284-1.5315; 1.6130-1.6182; 1.6506-1.6553; 1.6913-1.6921; 1.8110-1.8247; 1.9510-1.9662.

This week starts the 19th week of the 35-week primary cycle, off the October 7 low at 1.1450. We had a top on December 5 at 1.2774, which is either a major/half-primary cycle crest or a primary cycle crest depending if we are in a bullish or bearish trend. The January 16 low at 1.1979 was either a 17-week half-primary cycle low or a 12-week major cycle low as it took place in week 15.

We have previously been highlighting: “There is a flip side to be aware of that the 16-year cycle low could already have been made on October 7. Hence, we could keep moving higher from here to a primary cycle crest on the February 27-28 CRD. If prices take out the assumed primary cycle crest on December 6 high at 1.2774, we will switch to bullish strategies for this primary cycle. The 29-day moving average is getting closer to the 87-day MA. If the former surpasses the latter, while the prices remain above both, the trend changes to bullish, which is a first indication that we are on the wrong side of the trade. We need the prices now to close for a couple of days below the 29-day MA to restate the bearish trend”.

The primary cycle has been stuck in no man’s land, since it had first a higher low on January 16 and then a lower high on February 2. However, last week, the 29-day MA took over the 87-day MA with the price above both, changing the daily moving averages trend indicator to bullish. Consequently, our bearish view could be wrong. Our outlook has been that the British Pound will make its long-term low between February and April 2017. I am somewhat still biased towards this scenario. However, the daily moving averages’ bullish trend, is right now hinting that the long-term low might have taken place in October 2016.

Our approach now is to exit our short trades, stay on the sideline and observe where the 3-star February 27-28 CRD will reverse. If prices take out the December 5 crest, then bullish strategies are confirmed. The more aggressive trader can go long towards the potential Feb 27-28 CRD crest. The other scenario is a fall towards the low of a possible short primary cycle and the 16-year cycle trough.

Strategy: Position traders: Exit your short trades and remain on the sidelines.

Aggressive traders: Same as position traders. The more aggressive traders can go long, placing stop-loss below 1.198 or 1.235 depending on your risk allowance.

TYH (Mar T-Notes): Last week’s close was barely bullish. The close was also above the weekly TIP for the 1st time in 4 week, and it was an up week again, which means it remains neutral.

This week’s trend indicator point is 124/16. It will be downgraded to a trend run down if it closes below 123/18 this week.

Weekly support is 124/06.5-124/08.5. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 125/11.5-125/13.5. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect in the nearby contract at 123/19-123/21, 121/24-121/25, 120/12-120/17, 118/02-118/12, and 117/00-117/03. It closed below others previously at 126/12.5-126/17 and 129/30-130/01, so these are now resistance.

Bearish crossover zones remain in effect at 129/04-129/22.5 and 130/26-130/27.

This starts the 9th week of the 15-21 week primary cycle off the low of 122/14.5 on Dec 15. It also starts the 3rd week of the second 5-7 week major cycle phase off the low of 123/18 on Thursday, January 26, one trading day before the Venus/Saturn square of Jan 27, and our rule is that “… any market declining into this aspect, +/- 1 trading day, is a candidate for a buy. T-Notes is satisfying this set up.” It did rally from there, and it made a new cycle high last week at 125/18 on Feb 8, an exact one-star CRD. Not only that, but the high was an almost exact 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the big move down from the election high of November 9 to the primary cycle low of Dec 15 at 122/14.

One study to note is that another rally to new highs past this Tuesday, the 9th week (Feb 14) will put into effect our “bullish 8-weerk rule.” That is, any market that makes a new cycle high after Tuesday of the 9th week is likely to exhibit a bullish right translation primary cycle. However, since I believe the long-term cycle has topped out, and this is part of a longer-term bear market that will last into 2020 +/- 1 year, with rates going higher, I am not so sure it will take out last week’s new cycle high. Instead, I am looking for T-Notes to fall below the low that started this primary cycle, soon, perhaps into the Feb 22-March 6 reversal zone.

As stated before, “Longer-term, anything below 122 strongly suggests that the bull market is over, the 18-year cycle crest has been completed, and treasuries will be bearish for 2-5 years. I still think that the bear market is underway.”

Strategy: Position traders are short with a stop-loss on a close above 128 after covering the first 1/3 for profits before. You may sell short that 1/3 position taken off earlier, at 125/12-125/18.

Aggressive traders may remain short with a stop-loss on a close above 125/20.

SH (Mar Soybeans): Last week’s close was bullish and eliminates the bearish sequence. The close was also above the weekly trend indicator point for the 4th time in 5 weeks, and it was an up week, which means it is upgraded to a trend run up.

The weekly TIP is 1044-1/2. It will be downgraded back to neutral if this week’s close is below there.

Weekly support is 1035-3/4 - 1040-1/2. A weekly close below this range is bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 1073 – 1077-1/2 A weekly close above this range is bullish. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

A new bullish crossover zone just formed at 1040-1041. Another remains in effect at 933-3/4 – 942-1/4 in the nearby contract.

Soybeans closed above a bearish crossover zone recently at 1023-1032, so that is now support on a closing basis. It closed there last week.

This starts the 6th week of the 15-21 week primary cycle off the 992-3/4 low of January 4, just one day past our Jan 3 three-star CRD. The high so far has been 1080 on January 18. It is in a time band for a 5-7 week major cycle trough, unless it came in a week early at 1017 on Feb 1. It looks like that may be the case (or it was a half-cycle to the 8-11 week half-primary cycle), because the stochastics are pointed straight up and it closed bullish as well as formed a bullish crossover zone at 1040-1041.

This, Soybeans are trapped between that 1080 high on Jan 18 and the 1017 low on Feb 1. As stated before, “But (it) leaves open the possibility that the 1080 of Jan 18 may have been a primary cycle crest if this market is turning bearish. However, it is too early to call that, and a normal corrective decline could hold prices at 1036-1/2 +/- 10-1/4. We are there now and Venus squared Saturn on Friday, and again, this fits the idea of a market declining into Venus square Saturn, which means it is more likely a “buy” now than a sell.” And then last week followed up with, “Well, it fell hard on Monday, below 1020. It found support and rallied back to 1044 on Friday before selling off again onto the close. It looks more and more like the primary cycle has topped out. Yet, a 5-7 week major cycle low is due, and in many cases, it will not take out the low that started the cycle, which was 992-3/4. We will wait for the next rally and then look for a point to sell short, as I think this year’s growing crop will be a good one, and bearish for grains.”

It could go either way right now, but our focus is on March 4, +/- 1 week, when Venus turns retrograde.

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 992. Let’s take off 1/3 now (ideally above 1060).

Aggressive traders are long with a stop-loss on a close under 992 or 1040, depending on your risk allowance, after covering 1/3 for a handsome profit 3 weeks ago. Let’s cover another 1/3 at 1070 +/- 8 if offered.

CL (Crude Oil nearby contract): Last week’s close was a bullish trigger. The close was also above the weekly trend indicator point for the 3rd consecutive week, which means it is upgraded to a trend run up.

The weekly trend indicator point is now at 53.23. It will be downgraded back to neutral if prices close below there this week.

Weekly support is 52.01-52.40. A weekly close below this range is bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 54.92-55.32. A weekly close above this range is bullish. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Bearish crossover zones remain in effect at 61.92-63.13, 71.72-74.54 and 107.56-112.19.

This starts the 13th week of the 15-23 week primary cycle off the 42.20 low of Nov 14. As stated last week, “More than likely this will be a classical three-phase primary cycle pattern, with lows every 5-8 weeks. This would start the 4th week of the second 5-8 week major cycle (I favor that outlook). Stochastics are pointed up, so we look for a rally up to test the prior major cycle crest at 55.24 on January 3.” In this labeling, initial resistance is that 55.24 high area.

The Jupiter transit zone of Feb 6- Feb 13, (i.e. “… and Jupiter rules crude oil”) appears to have corresponded to last week’s low of 51.22 on Feb 8. As stated last week, “If it can continue higher after this week, then the bigger geocosmic signatures related to crude oil comes into play February 25-March 10, and especially Feb 26-March 3. I prefer to see a high then.” We are on target for that outlook again.

We also repeat our comments of a couple of weeks ago now, “Our eyes are looking ahead to the February 27 period, the solar eclipse in Pisces with the second Jupiter/Uranus opposition. We expect that to be a big reversal for crude oil…. Right now, I am biased to that being a high, but that could change, depending on what happens this week. I do like the Jupiter retrograde and Sun trine Jupiter signatures of Feb 6-13 for a major cycle crest too, as Jupiter co-rules crude oil. The first price target would be 55.42 +/- .56. Above that, we look for 63.75 +/- 2.54.”

Longer-term, as stated before, “Since I believe the long-term low was completed back in February at 26.05, during the Saturn/Neptune square. I remain bullish. It also hit the neckline of an inverted head and shoulders formation, so resistance has been found. Once it closes above there, look for 65-70.”

Strategy: Position traders are flat and may now buy at 52.50 +/- .25 with a stop-loss on a close below 51.20.

Aggressive traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 50.00. Cover 1/3 at 55.50 +/- .25 if offered.

GCJ (April Gold): Last week’s close was a bearish trigger. And the close was still above the TIP for the 7th consecutive week, which means it remains in a trend run up.

This week’s trend indicator point is 1215.70. It will be downgraded to neutral if prices close below there this week.

Weekly support is 1221.50-1221.80. A weekly close below this range will be bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 1247.30-1247.60. A weekly close above this range is bullish. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect at 1132.20-1144.30, 1070.50-1078.10 and 1014.80-1018.10 from several years ago.

Bearish crossover zones remain in effect at 1298.30-1307.90, 1404.70-1418.20 and 1535-1547. It closed above another some time ago at 1117.40-1126.80.

Trend studies:

The basic trend indicator study is still bearish. A close above 1341 will switch it to bullish.

The weekly moving average trend indicator study is bearish too, as April Gold closed the week at 1234.70, up 13.10 from the prior week. It was below both the 25-week moving average (just barely, as it was 1234.90) and the 37-week MA (1262.50), with the shorter MA below the longer one. If prices rally back above 1262.50, it will be upgraded back to neutral. If the 25-week MA moves above the 37-week MA, with prices above each, it will be upgraded to bullish.

The daily moving average study is upgraded to bullish now. The April Gold contract close was above the 15-day MA (1212.40), and above the 45-day MA (1200.60), and the 15-day MA has moved above the 45-day MA, which makes it bullish. A close below 1200.60 will downgrade it to neutral. If the 15-day MA falls back below the 45-day MA, with prices below each, it will be downgraded to bearish.

Leading Indicators (cycles and geocosmics):

February 13 starts the 9th week of a 15-21 week primary cycle, following the low of 1124.30 on Dec 15, which was a very rare and contracted 10-week primary cycle. This will also start the 3rd week of the second major cycle phase following the low of 1182.60 on January 27 when the Venus/Saturn square occurred. However, if prices close below support this week, it will be a bearish sequence and suggest that Gold could be falling into an 8-11 week half-primary cycle trough. There is so much coming up in the field of geocosmics, Feb 22-March 6, that Gold could either fall hard into a half-primary cycle low then, or skyrocket into the crest of the second major cycle phase.

Supporting the idea that Gold just formed a half-primary cycle crest last week, Feb 8, at 1246.60, is the fact that it was a one-star CRD. It was also in the time band for the heliocentric Mercury in Sag (Feb 1-12) crest, which usually happens between days 4-12 of that period, and Feb 8 was the 7th day, right in the middle. If that was a half-primary cycle crest, then Gold could fall sharply into our Feb 27-28 three-star CRD for a half-primary cycle trough. A close below weekly support would indicate that is happening, and the heliocentric Mercury change from Sagittarius to Capricorn could support that too.

However, there is no high probability that an 8-11 week half-primary cycle trough will form. More often, Gold will form a classical three-phase pattern of three major cycle phases of 5-7 weeks each, with no half-primary cycle. If this is to be a classical three-phase pattern, then this only starts the third week of the second 5-7 week major cycle, and Gold can still be bullish, taking out last week’s high of 1246.60 as it climbs to its major cycle crest. Once that high forms, a modest 3-8 day corrective decline would follow to the major cycle trough, due in 2-4 weeks. It would not be as serious a drop as if there would be a half-primary cycle trough. As mentioned, geocosmic could support either a sharp decline now to a half-primary cycle low around Feb 27-28, or a continued rally to new cycle highs then.

Based on technicals, and also the possible strengthening of the US Dollar, there is reason to be alert that Gold may be starting a decline to a half-primary cycle trough.

Another concern is Tuesday and Wednesday’s air-air/solar/lunar combo. As stated last week, “I am also a little concerned about Monday, when the Sun and Moon are both in air signs. This has a 35% probability of being a big down day. The next and last air-air day until late May will be Feb 14-15. One of these could be a big down day for Gold and/or Silver.” Well, last Monday was not a big down day, the last air-air combo is this week, and it has a higher than usual probability of exhibiting a sharp down day because the previous two cases did not.

Technicals, chart patterns, and price targets:

Another concern is the stochastics, which did not yet make a new high for this primary cycle as Gold made a new high on Wednesday, Feb 8, and now they are turning down. They haven’t turned down below 71%, so Gold could still rally to new cycle highs. But they are curling down, with a possible case of bearish oscillator divergence, so to be bullish, Gold would have to start closing above daily or weekly resistance rather quickly. As stated last week, “… but if stochastics don’t make a new high as Gold tops out, and then they start to curl down, there could be a sharp drop into an 8-11 week half-primary bottom. A drop below 1200, and even 1190 would then be likely. If severe, it could continue into the February 25-March 10 period when Venus turns retrograde. By that time, Gold could be testing 1170 or even 1124 again. But that huge reversal zone could also be the top of this primary cycle. A close above 1227 points to a continuation up to 1283 +/- 18.40. Longer-term, I am still looking for Gold to reach the 1475-1550 area this year.”

There is also danger of an intermarket bearish divergence signal occurring this week, as Silver closed near its cycle high of 1802 on Friday, and Gold is well below its high of 1246.60. Silver could exceed 1802, with Gold below it, early this week, and then we would have a case of intermarket bearish divergence, still within the CRD Zone, as heliocentric Mercury leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn.

If last week was a half-primary cycle crest, then Gold could fall to 1142.60-1191.60. Of it wasn’t a half-primary cycle crest, and instead Gold is going to exhibit a classical three-phase pattern, then prices will likely hold 1215-1225 this week, and then start another leg up to new highs for this cycle. The 1250 area +/- 10 may be formidable resistance.

The following solar/lunar days are from our studies published in The Gold Book: Solar-Lunar Reversal Keys for Trading Gold. (These are the lunar cycles for the next two weeks, per these initial studies). These numbers represent potential for reversal, where anything above 114 has a high probability of an isolated top or bottom to trade opposite of, for a 3% reversal. * represents a strong reversal possibility. The more * the stronger it is. # represents a low likelihood for a reversal. The more #, the less likely a reversal or big range day.

The solar-lunar cycles for Gold for the next few days are as follows:

Reversal 4% Reversal 3% Big Range Day

Feb 7-8 (Jupiter) 164.3*** 139.3** 113.1 (more often a low)

Feb 9-10 125.9* 153.9** 96.3

Feb 13 50.8## 66.3# 116.6*

Feb 14-15 (air-air) 58.8## 48.0### 56.2##

Feb 16-17 139.7** 91.1 133.6*

Feb 20 81.7 73.8# 125.1*

Feb 21-23 140.3** 181.1*** 85.4 (change 2/23 at noon)

Feb 23-24 69.1# 122.7* 72.1# (more often a low)

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 1124 if Silver also trades below 1567.50 after covering 1/3 for a nice profit recently.

Aggressive traders are flat and may buy if Gold falls to 1175 +/- 10 with a stop-loss on close below 1140.

GLD (the SPDR ETF for Gold): Weekly support is 116.64-116.65. Resistance is 118.56-118.57. Weekly TIP is 115.73.

Position traders are flat and may buy at 112.50 +- .25 with a stop-loss on a close below 109.

Aggressive traders are long with a stop-loss up to a close below 112 or 110, depending on your risk allowance. Let’s cover 1/3 at 117.60 +/- .15.

SIH (Mar Silver): Last week’s close was bullish and continues the bullish sequence. The close was also above the weekly trend indicator point for the 6th consecutive week, which means it remains in a trend run up.

The weekly trend indicator point is now at 1743. It will be downgraded back to neutral if it closes below there this week.

Weekly support is 1760.50-1767.50. A weekly close below this range is bearish. A trade below followed by a close back above is a bullish trigger.

Weekly resistance is 1816.50-1823.50. A weekly close above this range is bullish. A trade above followed by a close back below is a bearish trigger.

Bullish crossover zones remain in effect at 1553-1574, 1453-1460, and 1096-1103.

Bearish crossover zones remain in effect at 1871-1887, 3072-3112, 3665-3974 and 4337-4533.

This starts the 8th week of the 13-21 week primary cycle off the 1567.50 low of December 2. As stated last week, “It is thus in a time band for a 7-11 week half-primary cycle trough if this is going to be a combination pattern.” That could till happen, as the high so far is Feb 10, which is near the end of heliocentric Mercury in Sag (Feb 1-12), when a top is due. As stated last week, “So, it looks good, but we need to be careful early this week because we are 1) in time band for a helio Mercury in Sag top, 2) in time band for a Jupiter transit low, and 3) an air-air solar/lunar combo that can coincide with a sharp decline Monday, lasting into Tuesday-Wed. If there is not to be a 7-11 week half primary cycle low, then this will be a classical three-phase pattern, and this will start the second week of the second 5-7 week major cycle phase, and the price target upside is 1832 +/- 31.”

Strategy: Position traders are long with a stop loss on a close below 1567.50, assuming Gold also trades below 1124 after covering 1/3 recently for first profits. Traders were advised, “Let’s cover 1/3 if Silver reaches 1825 +/- 25.” It got to the lower end there, so we have nice profits on 2/3 now.

Aggressive traders are flat and may sell short if Silver or Gold, take out last week’s high, but not both. You may also buy at 1650 +/- 25 with a stop-loss on a close below 1600.

Lunar cycles for this week (from The Sun, Moon, and Silver Market: Secrets of a Silver Trader). First numbers represent potential for reversal, where anything above 120 has a high probability of an isolated top or bottom to trade opposite of, and the second column represents “Big Range Day” potentials in which Silver could have a range of at least 2% (probably more these days) – good for day trading. * represents a strong reversal or big range day. The more * the stronger it is. # represents a low likelihood for a reversal or big range day. The more #, the less likely a reversal or big range day.

The solar-lunar cycles for the next few days are as follows:

Reversal Big Range

Feb 13 116.6* 44.3###

Feb 14-15 (air-air) 121.5* 181.4***

Feb 20 157.1** 153.7*

Feb 21-23 32.9### 71.4#

Feb 23-24 61.5## 83.6

SLV (I-Silver Trust): Weekly support is 16.76-16.82. Resistance is 17.17-17.23. The weekly TIP is 16.52.

Position traders are flat and may stand aside.

Aggressive traders are flat and may buy at 15.60 +/- .10 with a stop-loss on a close below 15.00 as well. You may also sell short if there is intermarket bearish divergence between Gold and Silver this week.

This unique event is specially designed for MMA subscribers and independent investors interested in MMA’s outlook for next several years, based on MMA methods of market timing and trend analysis. The 2017 retreat will take place at the beautiful Kona Kai Resort on Shelter Island in the almost always sunny San Diego, California, March 9-13, 2017, located right on the Pacific Ocean. Featured presenters will include Ted Lee Fisher, money manager, former member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and a legend in Commodity Futures trading; Egon von Greyerz of Matterhorn Asset Management in Zurich, Switzerland, an asset management company based on wealth preservation principles that owns Gold vaults in Zurich, the Swiss Alps, Singapore and Hong Kong. Egon was one of the individuals behind the “Save Our Swiss Gold” referendum in Switzerland in 2015. Also on the program will be Robert Corre, financial astrologer and 25-year instructor at New York University's Stern School of Business. Robert’s topic will be “The Federal Reserve Bank – Its Ever More Important Role in your Future Financial Freedom.” Maria Schoeppel, financial astrologer and mathematics major from UCLA, will present her research and forecasts on “China 2019: Similarities to the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis” Along with Retreat Coordinator Raymond Merriman, the brightest minds from the MMTA (Merriman Market Timing Academy) will present their latest research on the best investment ideas of 2017-2018. These including MMA analysts Kat Powell (Soybeans and Silver) Nitin Bhandari (Crude Oil), British Pound and FTSE analyst Ulric Aspegren, and ICR editor Mark Shtayerman (the XAU and Russell 2000 Index). There will also be a 4-hour optional post-retreat class on beginning astrology presented by MMTA graduates Richard Smoot and Izabella Suleymanova along with Robert Corre, on Monday afternoon, March 13. MMA’s first Investment Retreat in September 2015 (Italy) was very successful, as it correctly forecasted long-term lows (and investment opportunities) that would rise in Crude Oil, Gold, and Silver in 2016. That happened. One of the features that makes this event so exciting is that speakers will be interviewed each day in an informal Q and A with attendees, emceed by Raymond Merriman and Washington insider Henry Canciglia.

NOTE 3: The second event will be a special 2-day workshop on Financial Astrology and Market Timing, to be presented June 3-4 at Oxford University in Oxford, England! The cost is £995. Normally, this course would cost $1995, so it already heavily discounted. However, with the British Pound so low and due to make a long-term cycle low shortly, now would be an even better time for non-UK residents to sign up and lock in the great currency conversion rate for this event plus travel to Europe next summer. This workshop will be an introduction to Financial Astrology and its value as a market timing tool. It will outline the manner in which we calculate critical reversal dates (CRDs) and apply them to the study of cycles in order to enhance entry and exit from various markets. We will give special attention to the London FTSE, British Pound, Euro, and Gold, and show how these methods project the future of prices in these markets. A complete schedule of activities and topics will be ready shortly, and posted on our website.

Using this information properly: Support may represent favorable risk/reward places to buy if the trend is up. If prices trade below support, then have a close back above, it is considered a bullish “trigger”, and oftentimes represents a good buy signal. Resistance may represent favorable risk/reward places to go short if the trend is down. If prices trade above it, then have a weekly close back below, it is considered a bearish “trigger, and oftentimes a good sell signal.

MMA comments and trade recommendations are primarily for traders of commodity and futures contracts. They are provided mainly with “speculators” in mind. By its very nature, “speculation” means “willing to take risk of loss.” Speculators” must be willing to accept the fact that they are going to have several losses, many more than say “investors.” That is why they are “speculators.” Speculators are typically right about 50% of the time, +/- 10%. The way “speculators” become profitable is not so much by high percentage of winning trades, but by controlling amount of loss on any given trade, so the average trade on winners is considerably more than the average trade on losing trades. MMA’s comments can be of value to both speculators and investors. MMA’s trade recommendations will be of potential value only to speculators. Those who take these trades need to be willing to adjust stop-losses, and even the trade itself, as the week unfolds, and dependent upon technical factors that will arise with each day’s trading. There is no guarantee as to future accuracy or profitability. Each trader and reader trades at his or her own risk, and neither the author nor publisher assume any responsibility whatsoever for anyone’s financial or commodity markets decisions. Futures or options trading are considered high risk.
