#182 An update on the US Indices: DJIA, S&P500 and Nasdaq.
Introduction
In my previous post, I discussed the Jupiter-Uranus cycle which has shown a great correlation with the US Indices over the past two years. Despite many investors being bearish, I maintain a bullish outlook for the long term, not only due to this cycle, but also thanks to the Jupiter-Saturn Gann Master Cycle, which repeats itself approximately every 60 years.
During his time, W.D. Gann was not the only person who discovered the sixty year cycle, which is also known as 3 times the Jupiter-Saturn Cycle. In the 1920s, a professor named Weston published a treatise titled "Forecasting The New York Stock Exchange." Based on Fourier analysis, he discovered that there is a persistent +- 20 year cycle in the overall stock market, which is twice the 10-year cycle.
According to the research, the Jupiter-Saturn Cycle of this decade is not far from the current reality.
You may have noticed that the market continued to rise until it reached its peak on January 4th, 2022, due to the retrograde movement of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle in 2021.
The US indices bottomed in October 2022, but gained most momentum after March-April 2023, which aligns with Prof Weston's forecast for a low in the middle of year 3, or when Jupiter is on a 54 degree angle with Saturn.
The cycle is now heading to the Jupiter square Saturn aspect which in general is considered to be a high. Over the last seven cycles, it has sometimes been delayed. August 20th, 2024 is the first occurance of this aspect.
There will be three occurrences of the retrograde motion of Jupiter and Saturn in 2024/2025, with the last one taking place on June 15th, 2025.
Therefore, taking into account the previous instances of this cycle, I continue to hold a positive outlook on the overall trend. In my last post, I presented the overall trend based on the precise 60-year cycle, which can sometimes invert. In this week's post, I will demonstrate that the recent decline may be attributed to other cycles occurring earlier or later than 60 years ago.
