The late Nov to early Dec 2017 T&C Cluster & 132 week Cycle

From my last public post, I was looking for an "Upcoming December swing High"

The 66 wk/132 wk cycle is well known by various technical analysts. I first heard about the 132 week cycle back in the 1980's from the now retired Chuck Plank, editor of the Golden Touch Newsletter, when we correlated 3 major Highs to 3 major Lows with the 132 week Cycle.

01/14/00H +131.71 wks = 07/24/02L
03/24/00H + 132.86 wks = 10/10/02L
09/01/00H + 131.71 wks = 03/12/03L

The 66 wk/132 week cycle can also be found in the NDX Cycle below.

Fro many weeks now we had a major Time and Cycle Cluster starting from 11/24 into 12/5 Time Cluster, along with the 55 week and 132 week cycle due in that same time frame: "The next T&C Cluster is 11/24-12/4, with a 11/23 Solar, 11/24-27-28-29 Quadruple Geo CIT & 12/1 Solar and 12/4-5 triple Geo CIT along with the major 132 week Cycle due 12/1+/-

Actual: The NDX topped out at the 11/28/17 High, right at channel resistance, while the SPX topped out at the 12/4/17 High, at the 12/1 Solar and 12/4-5 triple Geo time CIT, piercing its long term channel resistance since the March 2009 Low, when the current Bull market began.

What's Next: From 12/4H, we started a decline that should lasts into the next major Time and Cycle Cluster. We are currently researching the Top 5-10 major Time & Cycle Clusters (Major Turning Points) for 2018, which should be very rewarding to find.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
