The August Eclipses, catastrophes and forecasting the stockmarkets

The great Solar Eclipse on 8/21/17 (biblical) passover the USA, was predicted to be catastrophic for the USA.

Here is what has happenend in only the few weeks since that 8/21/17 Eclipse:

1. Hurricanes & floods in: Harvey in Texas 8/30/17,

2. Floods in South East Asia, 1200 dead in India, Bangladesh and Nepal: 8/30/17

3. Hurricanes Irma & Jose in Carribean & Florida 9/7/17: (Please stay safe!)

4. WildFires in: Oregon, California, Washington: 9/4/17

5. Wildfires in Canada: 9/4-7:

6. Earthquakes: in Mexico 9/8/17:

7. War Talk: Late August - September 2017: North Korea may launch ICBM on Saturday, South Korean president warns

8. The stockmarkets made an 8/8/17 high, right at the 8/7 Lunar Eclipse and an 8/21/17 Low, right on the 8/21 Solar Eclipse.

On our private & public Time and Cycles blog and at https://twitter.com/TimeandCycles, we were looking for an 8/21L (#1 on chart below) and 8/29L (#2 on chart).

Times and Cycles Review

Forecast from the 8/29/17 Raj T&C Daily Email: "The cycle bias is: We see a choppy volatile week, with an 8/29L, rally into 9/1H, decline into 9/5L, rally into 9/13H"

Actual: We saw an 8/29L (#2 on chart above), rallied into an 9/1H (#3), declined into 9/5L (#4) as expected so far.

What's Next: We should see a choppy rally into 9/13 High+/-1 at the 9/12 Solar time CIT, 9/12 Geo time CIT and 9/13 Long term Geometric time CIT (Change in Trend). The next few months into October does not look too stellar, it is best to be prepared.

Editor's Picks

Ripple recovery runs into headwinds amid fading retail and institutional interest

Ripple (XRP) holds slightly above $1.30 on Monday, with short-term recovery prospects fading. Strong structural resistance toward $1.40 continues to cap upside, raising the risk of further downside below $1.30.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend recovery despite ETFs outflows

Bitcoin edges higher above $82,000, building strong structural support despite roughly $229 million in ETF outflows last week. Ethereum recovers above $2,400 as bulls strive to regain trend control, backed by a subtle recovery in momentum indicators.

Pi Network Price Forecast: Weak momentum and waning demand reinforce downside bias

Pi Network edges lower on Monday, risking a bearish conclusion to its short-term consolidation above the $0.0774 horizontal support. A steady decline in the notional value of active PI futures contracts and the weekly spot trading volume suggests reduced retail demand.

Zcash Price Forecast: Downside risk looms as ETF outflows and falling Open Interest weigh

Zcash (ZEC) edges higher on Monday after three consecutive weeks of bearish closes totaling roughly 30% losses. The privacy coin is losing institutional confidence with three straight weeks of outflows, while retail speculation eases as ZEC futures Open Interest declines to a 30-day low.

Bitcoin: Macroeconomic headwinds, cooling demand cap BTC gains
Bitcoin (BTC) extends losses this week, trading below $82,500 as of Friday as selling pressure continues. Weakening institutional demand supports this pullback as BTC spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are on track to record a two-week withdrawal streak, reaching $146.19 million in net outflows through Thursday.
