Major market cycles aligning with key price targets

As we enter January, we have a series of very unusual long term cycles come together. Every few years we see long term cycles - monthly cycles align across a series of instruments. This is a rare occurrence and often portends a significant shift in economic conditions.

There are some potential incredible opportunities. Here is a major monthly spike in now on the US markets. It has been active in December and becomes stronger as we enter January.

Chart

So what exactly is this monthly spike?

Below this monthly chart of the S&P 500 index which heads back to 2008, you will see a series of histograms. When these histograms spike up, we can expect changes in trend. They are based on market cycles interacting at a high level. If you take a close look, you will see how previous spikes have aligned with significant turning points.

The key benefit of these histogram spikes is that they are predictive – in other words they are known in advance.

Most importantly, at this moment in time we have a very large spike in front of us.

Not only that, using traditional technical analysis and geometry, we can see that the S&P 500 index is very close to a significant price target.

At the bottom left you can also see such a spike identified the beginning off the bull market in 2009. Sentiment at that time was incredibly bearish with the world having lived through the global financial crisis.

Returning to the present market situation, we need to be on alert for some potential changes – potential major changes. The present bull market has effectively been running since 2009, following the end of the global financial crisis. With the exception of the short pullback back in early 2020 – the one that tied in with a 90 year cycle to within six weeks - most people under the age of 35, have not witnessed a proper bear market. That includes some of our professional portfolio manager friends at some of the large funds in the world. The purpose of these histograms and the whole timing system is to get the odds on your side. This spike is putting us on alert. It does not necessarily forecast a crash. Very rarely we can see an inversion and an acceleration.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
