MMA Comments for the Week Beginning June 25, 2012

Written by Raymond Merriman

Due to Saturday's Amsterdam workshop on Gold and Silver, this will be a brief column. We will return to normal next week. This course in Amsterdam will not be recorded. However, much of this new research material on Gold and Silver will be updated and given again at a special one-day workshop at the MAC (Midwestern Astrology Conference) in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Thursday, August 2. For more information, please contact 303-828-5445, 303-604-2777, or email macasrtrology@yahoo.com, or go to http://macastrology.tripod.com/.

Review and Preview

After what happened last week, there can be little doubt that this Uranus-Pluto waxing square is going to be like wrestling alligators. This signature is active and already very apparent, much to the dismay of those who may wish to believe that Financial Astrology is nothing more than mere superstition, fortune-telling, or entertainment-only.

Financial markets – especially stocks, precious metals and energy - were every bit as erratic and abrupt as this signature implies, and as described in this column over the past several weeks. In other words, financial markets once again demonstrated the validity of geocosmic signatures and their correlation to the market climate last week, which is essentially the psychology of the collective, oftentimes exaggerated by the actions of political and banking leaders of the world.

It was pure Uranus square Pluto at work with Jupiter square Neptune, two powerful signatures that make their exact passage on June 24 and June 25 respective, but whose orb of influence can start as much as 10 days before. Early in the week, the stock markets of the world and precious metals were strong. On Tuesday, June 19, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was testing 12,900, it highest price in several weeks, and very close to its highest price in 4 years, which was achieved on May 1 at 13,338. It continued to trade above 12,850 into early Thursday. But then these new monthly highs, accompanied by strong bullish technical signals, were violently negated. Stocks abruptly reversed and the DJIA closed down 250 points that day at 12,573. Yet on Friday, they abruptly halted that decline and instead gained 67 points.

Gold and Silver suffered a similar fate. On Tuesday, June 19, Gold was testing 1635 and looking like it was ready to explode much higher. Silver had crossed back above 2900 the day before. But by Thursday's summer solstice, June 21, Gold and Silver had also abruptly reversed and collapsed to 1558 and 2651 respectively by Friday. Once more, this is classical Uranus in a hard aspect to another planet - in this case, Pluto.

Financial astrology cannot tell one how to trade (nothing can guide one to easy trading under a hard Uranus signature). But nothing is more consistently accurate at describing what the market climate will be like at any given time than Financial Astrology. And last week was truly a journey into character of Uranus. As a reference, consider last week's column, which stated, "However, whenever Uranus is involved, financial markets can do things that very few traders or analysts anticipate, and this can happen very suddenly. Three things are characteristic of markets then. First, they could reverse. Second, they could break above resistance in a torrid rally higher and faster than anyone thought. Third, they could break below support and fall much further and faster than anyone thought (except, perhaps those who study Financial Astrology or other systems that indicate this possibility so strongly in the next two weeks). It makes for exciting times, but you don't know whether the profit is in positioning oneself for a reversal or a breakout."

As it turned out, all three possibilities were in evidence last week. First, stock indices blasted off to new multi-week highs and some (like in the USA) seemed poised to make new 4-year highs. Prices were higher than most analysts expected even a few days ago. Then they abruptly reversed. Gold and Silver were enjoying nice rallies too. And then they suddenly reversed. But they didn't just reverse modestly. They fell much faster and lower than anyone expected, taking out a series of support zones along the way. Yet instead of continuing the crash downwards on Friday, both markets found some support and started back up again.

Welcome to the first passage of Uranus in square to Pluto. Only six more passages to go in the next 33 months. As promised, it's going to be a very wild ride. For more on this powerful geocosmic signature, please feel free to view an article I have written on "Uranus and Pluto: The Exploding Debt Crisis," which was recently published in The Mountain Astrologer. You can now read this article on our web site at http://www.mmacycles.com/articles/articles/uranus-square-pluto%3a-the-consequences-of-the-debt-explosion/.

Best Trades of the Past Week

Over the past few weekly columns, I have been inserting trading recommendations made to our subscribers in the prior week. Readers seem to like this type of information to just see how accurate these reports, based on our unique timing methods, have been in many cases.

Last week's best trades were in Currencies. For Monday's Daily Report on the September Euro:"Position traders are flat and may look to sell short at the 1.2750 area (+/- .0010)." On Monday, June 18, September Euro went up to 1.2759 and returned to a 1.2753 high on Wednesday, and then fell sharply, down to 1.2528 during the day on Friday.

The Weekly Report for the week starting June 18 stated, "Euro cash: Position traders may sell short in weekly resistance (1.2723-1.2750) with a stop-loss on a close above 1.3150. Aggressive traders are long with a stop-loss on a close below 1.2250 or 1.2350, depending on your risk allowance…. Look to cover 1/3 of those positions now, and the remainder on a rally back to 1.2700 or higher this week if offered, and also look to sell short between 1.2700-1.2800, with a stop-loss on a close above 1.3000 or 1.3150, depending on your risk allowance." That all worked out well as the weekly high was 1.2743.

For the September Swiss Franc, the Weekly Report advised: "Position traders are flat and may look to sell short on a rally back to 1.0600-1.0650 with a stop-loss on a close above 1.0900. Aggressive traders are also flat and may look to sell short on a rally to weekly resistance with a stop-loss on a close above 1.0650." The high of last week was 1.0638. By Thursday, it was down to 1.0447 intraday and closed the week at 1.0483.

Short-Term Geocosmics and Longer-Term Thoughts

This will return next week. For now, just know that we are in the most intense gathering of powerful geocosmic signatures for the year 2012 during the last ten days of June. For details, please refer to last week's column. This is a time of danger through false assumptions and delusional visions, as well as excitement for new ideas and innovative solutions that can now be generated (if only there would be some way to tell the difference between these two dynamics).

As a preview of this weekend's workshop on Gold and Silver in Amsterdam, I leave you with the following two quotes:

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value." - Alan Greenspan

"A Gold standard is to the moochers and looters in government what sunlight and garlic are to vampires" - Herman Cain, Former Fed Governor (Kansas City), Wall Street Journal, May 14, 2012.

There is a reason why politicians and central bankers don't want to go back to a Gold standard. It is spelled C-R-E-D-I-T. And credit equals debt, which – as Uranus and Pluto signify – is exploding and out of control. But once Saturn enters Scorpio (October 5, 2012-September 18, 2015), the consequences will have to be dealt with. The can that has been kicked down the road…. comes to the edge of the cliff. There is nowhere else to kick it. It will be time to find a new game, a new can, and most of all, a new road, er… currency backing, other than fiat paper.

If you are an active short-term trader, or even if you are an investor who likes to keep up with our current thoughts on financial markets, you may be interested in our Weekly or even Daily Market reports with position trading and aggressive trading recommendations.

In the last eight years I increased my account from $60,000 to $850,000. Thanks for your excellent publications." - Bryden C., Small Business Owner, Illinois.

Disclaimer and statement of purpose:

The purpose of this column is not to predict the future movement of various financial markets. However, that is the purpose of the MMA (Merriman Market Analyst) subscription services. This column is not a subscription service. It is a free service, except in those cases where a fee may be assessed to cover the cost of translating this column from English into a non-English language.

This weekly report is written with the intent to educate the reader on the relationship between astrological factors and collective human activities as they are happening. In this regard, this report will oftentimes report what happened in various stock and financial markets throughout the world in the past week, and discuss that movement in light of the geocosmic signatures that were in effect. It will then identify the geocosmic factors that will be in effect in the next week, or even month, or even years, and the author's understanding of how these signatures will likely affect human activity in the times to come. The author (Merriman) will do this from a perspective of a cycle's analyst looking at the military, political, economic, and even financial markets of the world.

It is possible that some forecasts will be made based on these factors. However, the primary goal is to both educate and alert the reader as to the psychological climate we are in, from an astrological perspective. The hope is that it will help the reader understand these psychological dynamics that underlie (or coincide with) the news events and hence financial markets of the day.

No guarantee as to the accuracy of this report is being made here. Any decisions in financial markets are solely the responsibility of the reader, and neither the author nor the publishers assume any responsibility at all for those individual decisions. Reader should understand that futures and options trading are considered high risk.
