Stock crash has begun but there'll be a rebound

 Issue No. 179 – Sat 20 Apr 2024

As per our forecast, stocks in the past 3 weeks (especially Nasdaq stocks) have been sliding.

The AI inspired stock boom has ended with AI stocks plunging. This is evidenced by AI stocks nose-diving on Fri 19 Apr 2024:

SMCI sinks 23% in 1 day. NVidia crashes 10%
    ARM Holdings in a free-fall, off 17.7%, AMD plunges 8.4%, …...

The stock crash will continue to the 1^st week of June 2024.

Do not presume that stocks crash every day. In the coming 2 weeks, we see a rebound (i.e. stocks will rise in midst of a bearish market).

For stocks to rebound, bullish planets Mars, Saturn and Pluto (these are the 3 bullish planets of the Solar system) must be activated to suppress any bearish influence.

We are going to study the influence of these 3 bullish planets.

On the geocentric Saturn-centered Ephemeris
The salient aspect on the Saturn-centered aspect is [Saturn Semi-square Pluto].
Let’s see how Saturn & Pluto are made active by Sun and by Venus.

Bull #1
20 Apr 2024 [Sun Semi-Square Saturn]
21 Apr 2024 [Sun Semi-square Pluto]

Bull #2
30 Apr 2024 [Venus Semi-square Saturn]
01 May 2024 [Venus Semi-square Pluto]

On the Mars-centered Ephemeris

The more bullish Mars interactions are:
Bull #3
29 Apr 2024 [Neptune Conjunction Mars]
30 Apr 2024 [Ecliptic Conjunction Mars]

NOTE
On 30 Apr @15:34 Mars enters Aries to form bullish aspect [Ecliptic Conjunction Mars].
The Ecliptic is the most powerful force of the Solar system. The Conjunction aspect immensely enhances the bullish influence of Mars.

Bull #2 & Bull #3 are closely packed. The 3 bullish planets (Saturn Pluto and Mars) are invigorated. We expect a significant rebound generated by Bull #2 & Bull #3. Their interactions converge on 29 Apr to 01 May 2024. Allow aspect orb of 3 days, the rising period should be:

  29 Apr 2024 ± 3 days
  = Fri 26 Apr to Thu 02 May 2024.

After this, the stock crash will resume from Thu 02 May 2024, falling to a bottom in early June 2024.

Stocks continue to slide

Issue No. 178 – Sat 06 Apr 2024

We expect BOJ to intervene (last week) to support JPY on Wed 03 Apr or Thu 04 Apr 2024 because of weak USD (USD plunges. EUR & JPY surge). There is no BOJ intervention with JPY moving erratically. EUR does rise significantly. Such is the difficulty in forecasting currencies.

We now return to stocks.

Stock performance of the past 2 weeks is down. The downtrend will continue.

Bearish features for stocks on the geocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris are:

Bear #1
08 Apr 2024
   @07:11 Sun transits 60⁰ behind Jupiter, which is [Jup AT Conjunction Sun].
   This feature is sharply bearish because it is enclosed by:
   Mercury(R) on the Left of the 60⁰. Mercury(R) means Mercury moving backwards.
   N Node on the Right of the 60⁰.

Jup AT (tiny bearish asteroids 60⁰ behind Jupiter) are afflicted and easily de-stabilized.

Bear #2
21 Apr 2024
[Uranus Conjunction Jupiter]. This is clashing of 2 giant Outer planets. Uranus is neutral while Jupiter is bearish. Their interaction by Conjunction extracts heavy harmful influence of Jupiter.

Bear #3
In Apr month, Ceres is posited at 120⁰ behind Jupiter.
Since Jup FT are 60⁰ in front of Jupiter, the bearish aspect is [Jup FT Opposition Ceres].

Between 08 Apr and 21 Apr 2024, there are bearish Moon Declinations.

Examine the Declination Chart below to see the sharply bearish features.

Bear #4
From 2nd week of Apr 2024, [Uranus // Jupiter] becomes effective, and this negative feature lasts through early June 2024.

At present, we are concerned with the interactions by the Moon as marked on the top of the Declination Chart.

[Uranus // Jupiter] is made deleterious to stocks by the 4 Moon (declination) interactions.

Accordingly, we expect that stocks fall in the coming 3 weeks.

When will BOJ intervene to support JPY?

 Issue No. 177 – Thu 29 March 2024

Bloomberg Market Comments

Wed 27 April 2024

Japan Amps Up Intervention Threat as Yen Hits Lowest Since 1990

Japan had its toughest warning yet for traders on its willingness to intervene in currency markets after the yen slid to its weakest level in about 34 years against the dollar.

 

The nation’s currency dipped to 151.97 versus the greenback on Wednesday in Tokyo — beyond the level at which policymakers stepped in during October 2022 — before comments from government officials on their readiness to act boosted the yen to its strongest level of the day.

 

“We are watching market moves with a high sense of urgency,” Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said. “We will take bold measures against excessive moves without ruling out any options.” Suzuki’s reference to bold action is generally interpreted to mean direct intervention in the currency market.

QUESTIONS
Will BOJ intervene to support JPY?
If yes, when?

ANSWERS
There will soon be intervention by BOJ to support JPY.
The most likely date is Wed 03 Apr 2024, or Thu 04 Apr 2024.

Conditions for a soaring JPY

JPY rises sharply should the following conditions be satisfied:

Condition #1
Presence of a Melody Formation.

Condition #2
In the background, the Melody Formation is protected by an active Mars (or by a bullish Saturn). Mars is preferable because Mars can erase any negative influence.

Condition #3
The Ecliptic plane joins the bullish features to greatly enhance JPY’s advance.

The Solar System is a huge Musical Instrument.
    Neptune = Musician
    Mercury = Singer
    Venus = Dancer.

A Melody Formation is made up of:
    [Neptune + Mercury] being made active.
    Or [Neptune + Venus] being made active.

For the coming intervention, we’ll divide out analysis into 2 parts.

PART A – All 3 bullish planets are energized

On the geocentric Saturn-centered Ephemeris, there are several bullish features (bullish for EUR & JPY, bearish for US Dollar) in early Apr 2024.

Bull One
In early Apr 2024, Mercury moves in backward motion very near the 45-degree in front of Saturn. This is [Mercury(R) Semi-square Saturn], a markedly positive aspect.

Bull Two
In early Apr 2024, Mars is a few degrees behind Saturn.
When Moon interacts with Saturn by Conjunction, the Moon interacts by Conjunction with bullish Mars also.

Bull Three
In early Apr 2024, Pluto is 42⁰ behind Saturn. It is close to 45⁰ (a Semi-square). Thus, when Moon interacts with Saturn by Semi-square, Moon makes a Conjunction with Pluto shortly thereafter.

These features link up all the 3 positive planets (Mars, Saturn & Pluto) of the Solar system. Its positive effects are further raised by Mercury (in backward motion). The combined bullish influence aroused by Moon transits is tremendous. The relevant Moon transits are as below:

Tue 02 Apr 2024
    @21:55 [Mars Semi-square Moon]

Wed 03 Apr 2024
   @04:11 [Mercury(R) Square Moon] - part of [Mercury(R) Semi-square Saturn].
   @07:10 [Saturn Semi-square Moon].
   @12:23 [Pluto Conjunction Moon]

The interactions of PART A are powerful enough to push up JPY (and to knock down USD).

PART B – Melody Formation

In addition, there is one more extremely bullish factor that favors a rising JPY. It is a Melody Formation, as described on the geocentric Neptune-centered Ephemeris.

The Music Formation is:

Wed 03 Apr 2024
   @13:11 [Neptune Conjunction Venus].
   Sweet music is engendered when members of the Melody formation interact with the Moon:

Thu 04 Apr 2024
  @07:12 [Neptune Semi-square Moon]
  @08:51 [Venus Semi-square Moon]/

Neptune is posited @28⁰ Pisces. The Ecliptic (zero degree Aries) is just 2⁰ in front of Neptune. [Neptune Semi-square Moon] @07:12 should mean [Ecliptic plane Semi-square Moon] in a few hours later. The average speed of the Moon is 13⁰. The Moon moving forward 2⁰ takes about 3.7 hours. It means the Moon makes a Semi-square with the Ecliptic plane about 3.7 hours later. The aspect is:

Thu 04 Apr 2024
   @11:00 [Ecliptic Semi-square Moon]. The time is approximation.

Sweet music is greatly amplified by the Ecliptic-Moon interaction.

For reference, a Table of Aspects for 02 03 & 04 Apr 2024 is appended below.

PART A + PART B
= a soaring market for JPY from NY afternoon of Tue 02 Apr 2024 to NY morning of Thu 04 Apr 2024.

BOJ will intervene on Wed 03 Apr or on Thu 04 Apr 2024 to substantially prop up JPY.

+++

More bearish features

 Issue No. 176 – Saturday 23 Mar 2024

Stock performance in the past 3 weeks:

We expect Stock Crash from now to early June 2024 though it is delayed by the rise of last week. The immediate bearish aspects (as outlined on the geocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris) are:

   29 Mar 2024 [N Node Square Ceres]
   04 Apr 2024 [N Node Conjunction Sun]
   06 Apr 2024 [Sun Square Ceres]
   08 Apr 2024 [Jupiter 30 Sun] or [Jup FT Square Sun].

These aspects indicate that both bearish Ceres and bearish Jup FT are under intense stress from, and de-stabilized by, N Node and Sun. The outcome will be a stock Crash.

Examine the Declination Chart below to see other sharply bearish features ahead.

From 2nd week of Apr 2024, [Uranus // Jupiter], lasts through early June 2024.
This is a Parallel declination aspect for Uranus and for very bearish Jupiter.

From May 2024, the declination of Sun crosses over the declinations of both Uranus and Jupiter, making the declinations extremely deleterious.

Accordingly, we expect a sharply bearish stock market to last to early June 2024.

CRASH has arrived

 Issue No. 175 – Saturday 09 Mar 2024

 Stock performance in the past 3 weeks:

We predict the Crash from now to early June 2024 (3 full months).

The Crash is immediate, as revealed by the heliocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris.

Heliocentric Bear #1

12 Mar 2024
Earth transits 120⁰ in front of Jupiter.
Since Jup AT (Jupiter Aft Trojans) are 60⁰ behind Jupiter, the bearish aspect is
   [Jup AT Opposition Earth].

We see in Heliocentric Bear #2 that Jupiter smashes against Uranus on 14 Mar 2024. This de-stabilizes Jup AT 2 days before exact Bear #2. Jupiter and Jup AT are de-stabilized thoroughly and the Crash in immediate.

Heliocentric Bear #2
14 Mar 2024
[Uranus Conjunction Jupiter].
Jupiter moves forward and smashes against Uranus. The smashing of 2 Giant planets makes negative Jupiter very bearish.

Jupiter is made bearish not only on 14 March. Its bearish influence starts several days before the exact Conjunction.

This results in a plummeting stock market in Mar 2024.

There are several harmful aspects on the geocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris.

17 Mar 2024
   @11:24 [Neptune Conjunction Sun].
19 Mar 2024
   @23:40 [Jupiter Semi-square Sun]. Semi-square = 45⁰
20 Mar 2024
   @03:08 Sun enters the Ecliptic (Sun transits zero degree Aries).
   This is [Ecliptic Conjunction Sun]

These transits are graphically represented by the Circular Ephemeris below:

The bearish aspect is 19 Mar 2024 [Jupiter Semi-square Sun].
The neutral aspects are [Neptune Conjunction Sun] & [Ecliptic Conjunction Sun].

The Ecliptic plane is an extremely powerful force. The combined power of the 2 neutral aspects are tremendous. This super-powerful force is applied to attack and motivate bearish Jupiter. The result is a BIG CRASH in stocks.
 

There is 1 more important bearish feature in Mar & Apr 2024.

Refer to the geocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris to see that in Mar & Apr 2024, Ceres (represented by big dots) are 120⁰ behind Jupiter, which is [Jup FT Opposition Ceres]. Jup FT are 60⁰ in front of Jupiter.

Ceres are tiny asteroids. In stock analysis we often ignore them. However, when heavily stressed (in present case stressed through a battered Jupiter) the Ceres asteroids cause a plummeting stock market.

Crash Imminent

 Issue No. 174 – Saturday 24 Feb 2024

 Stock performance in the past 3 weeks:

The coming week is the week of change, from Up to Down.
Indeed, stocks should crash from end Feb 2024 to early June 2024.

There are 2 significantly bearish heliocentric aspects:

Heliocentric Bear #1

14 Mar 2024
[Uranus Conjunction Jupiter].

Jupiter moves forward and smashes against Uranus. The smashing of 2 Giant planets makes negative Jupiter very bearish.
Jupiter is made bearish not only on 14 March. Its bearish influence covers the whole month of March 2024.

Heliocentric Bear #2

12 Mar 2024
Earth transits 120⁰ in front of Jupiter.
Since Jup AT are 60⁰ behind Jupiter, the bearish aspect is [Jup AT Opposition Earth].
This, together with an agitated Jupiter (per Bear #1), fully de-stabilizes Jup AT.

The result is a plummeting stock market in March 2024.

The slide will continue in Apr & May 2024.

There are harmful aspects on the geocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris.

01 Mar 2024
[Saturn Conjunction Sun] at 60⁰ behind Jupiter.

Since Jup AT are 60⁰ behind Jupiter, Jup AT are de-stabilized by the Conjunction.

19 Mar 2024
Neptune Conjunction Sun] at 45⁰ behind Jupiter. Bearish influence of Jupiter is thoroughly invoked.

Both the heliocentric Ephemeris and the geocentric Ephemeris indicate a sharply bearish March month.

Stocks will plunge 1 month later

Issue No. 172 – Saturday 27 Jan 2024

 

Stocks have been rising in the past 2 weeks. But stocks will fall sharply from the last day of Feb 2024 for 3 months (to end May 2024). The fall can extend a few more days into June 2024).

Let’s examine the heliocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris – planets’ positions are viewed from the Sun, with other planets moving on either side of Jupiter. There are 2 significantly bearish aspects:

Helio Bear #1

14 Mar 2024
[Uranus Conjunction Jupiter].
Jupiter moves forward and smashes into Uranus. The smashing of 2 Giant planets makes Jupiter very bearish.
Jupiter is made bearish not only on 14 March. Its bearish influence covers the whole month of Mar 2024.

Helio Bear #2

12 Mar 2024
Earth transits 120⁰ in front of Jupiter.
Since Jup AT are 60⁰ behind Jupiter, the bearish aspect is [Jup AT Opposition Earth].
This, together with an agitated Jupiter (per Bear #1), fully de-stabilizes Jup AT.

The result is a plummeting stock market in Mar 2024.

The slide will continue in Apr & May 2024.

There are many harmful aspects on the geocentric Jupiter-centered Ephemeris.

01 Mar 2024
[Saturn Conjunction Sun] at 60⁰ behind Jupiter.
Since Jup AT are 60⁰ behind Jupiter, Jup AT are de-stabilized.

19 Mar 2024
[Neptune Conjunction Sun] at 45⁰ behind Jupiter. Bearish influence of Jupiter is fully invoked.

08 Apr 2024
[Jupiter 30 Sun] or [Jup FT Square Sun].
The transit is supported by Mercury(R) and by N Node at vicinity.
Jup FT are de-stabilized.

21 Apr 2024
[Uranus Conjunction Jupiter] which intensely invigorates bearish Jupiter.

18 May 2025
[Jupiter Conjunction Sun] is joined by Venus.
Jupiter is smashed by Sun & Venus.

Additionally, in Mar & Apr 2024, Ceres (a tiny bearish asteroid) occupies 120⁰ behind Jupiter. The bearish aspect is [Jup FT Opposition Ceres] for 2 long months.

The Sun-Jupiter System is thoroughly shaken up in Mar-Apr-May 2024. The inevitable conclusion is a STOCK CRASH.

Trading Japanese Yen

 Issue No. 171 – Saturday 13 Jan 2024

We are expecting stocks’ uptrend to prolong to end Feb 2024. Before discussing the sharply bearish phase thereafter, we’d like to talk about what will happen towards the end of Feb 2024.

 

Surging Yen

News from Reuters, NEW YORK, Dec 7, 2023.
QUOTE
The Japanese yen jumped on Thursday as policymakers hinted the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may shift away from its ultra-low interest rate plan and a gauge of global stocks rose after three straight falls as investors assessed the latest round of U.S. labor market data.

The yen surged 2.64% against the greenback, its biggest one-day jump since Dec. 20, at 143.52 per dollar after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda added to speculation that the central bank could move away from negative rates by saying policy management would "become even more challenging from the year-end and heading into next year" and indicated several options of what could be on the horizon.

The BOJ has been the sole central bank that yet to start tightening policy while other central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank (ECB) are seen as nearing or at the end of their rate hike cycles.

"The comments last night sort of poured rocket fuel into bets on an eventual move back into positive rates territory for the Bank of Japan," said Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay in Toronto.

The dollar index fell 0.62% at 103.48 while the euro was up 0.37% to $1.0802.
UNQUOTE

The reason for surging Yen is caused by a Melody Formation which is bullish for Currencies (Stg pound, Euro and Yen) while US Dollar tumbles. What makes Yen especially bullish is that the Yen is more sensitive to the Ecliptic plane which joins the Melody formation.

Melody Formation (Sweet music)

The Solar System is a huge Musical Instrument
  Neptune = Musician
  Mercury = Singer
  Venus = Dancer.

A Melody Formation is made up of:
   [Neptune + Mercury] being made active
   Or [Neptune + Venus] being made active.

The background
   Should not be bearish (i.e. not when Jupiter or Jupiter Trojans are too strong)
   Should be protected by bullish planets (which are Mars &/or Saturn).

In present case, Yen soars because the Ecliptic plane comes in to enhance the Melody Formation while the background is positive.

The Ecliptic plane

Draw a line linking up zero degree of Aries to zero degree of Libra. It is the Ecliptic plane which is the most powerful position of the Solar System. Any planetary interactions involving the Ecliptic plane produces wild fluctuations (either up or down) in the market. The zodiac for 2023 with the Ecliptic plane marked is plotted below.

In Dec 2023 (indeed throughout year 2023) Neptune is very close to the Ecliptic plane. Any planet (such as the Moon, moving in anti-clockwise direction) interacting with Neptune soon interacts with the Ecliptic plane (which is immediately in front of Neptune).

Interactions of Wed 06 & Thu 07 Dec 2023

Wed 06 Dec 2023
   @06:16 [Neptune Opposition Moon] makes Neptune (Musician) active.
   @12:26 [Uranus Sesquare Mercury] makes Mercury (Singer) active.
   @16:34 Moon enters zero degree Libra. Moon is made powerful by the Ecliptic.
Thu 07 Dec 2023
   @04:00 [Mercury Square powerful Moon] again makes Mercury (Singer) active.
   @12:00 [Neptune // powerful Moon] is treated as [Neptune Conjunction Moon].
                Neptune (Musician) is again made active.

Thus Neptune (Musician) and Mercury (Singer) are motivated to generate Sweet music. The music is loud and clear because the Ecliptic joins to enhance the interactions. In addition, [N Node Sesquare Mars] of 06 Dec 2023 @11:54 is a bullish influence. Bullish Mars influence can erase negative force and protect the Melody formation.

Therefore, Dollar-Yen nose-dives 2.64% (US dollar plunges v. Yen soars) from the afternoon of Wed 06 Dec to mid-day of Thu 07 Dec 2023.

Another bullish day (on Melody) – Wed 13 Dec 2023

Please refer to the Table of Aspects of preceding Section.

The Melody formation [Neptune Sesquare Venus] is exact on 13 Dec 2023 @03:34.

Neptune (Musician) & Venus (Dancer) together produce Sweet music when acted upon by Moon transits which are:
Wed 13 Dec 2023
   @06:49 [Neptune Square Moon]. The Musician is motivated to act by Moon.
   @07:07 [Moon Semi-square Venus]. The Dancer is made active.
   @16:30 [Ecliptic Square Moon] enhancing the bullish interactions.

[Pluto Semi-square Mars] of 13 Dec 2023 @15:16 in the background is bullish.

The Music Formation is stimulated. The Ecliptic boosts the interactions.
Again, Dollar-Yen nose-dives on Wed 13 Dec 2023 (whole day).

FORECAST - Very bullish day in near future - Mon 26 Feb 2024

The Melody formation [Neptune Semi-square Venus] is exact on 26 Feb 2024 @01:03
Neptune (Musician) & Venus (Dancer) together produce Sweet music when acted upon by Moon transits which are:
Mon 26 Feb 2024
   @07:35 [Neptune Opposition Moon]. The Musician is motivated to act by Moon.
   @08:20 [Venus Sesquare Moon]. The Dancer is made active.
   @14:29 [Ecliptic Conjunction Moon]. The Ecliptic joins to greatly enhance the Melody formation. 

Sweet music is heard loud and clear.

In the background is the bullish aspect [Mars Sesquare Moon] @04:14.

Conclusion: Dollar-Yen will nose-dive (Yen will soar) on Mon 26 Feb 2024.
