Review and Preview :

This will be a holiday week, as many markets will be closed on Friday, ahead of Easter weekend.

Last week's market activity suffered from an eclipse hangover the previous Friday, March 20. It was a special eclipse in many respects, especially given the fact that it occurred on the spring equinox point (almost 0 degrees Aries), where the tropical (seasonal) zodiac begins. Many global markets topped out Monday and Tuesday, March 23-24, and then began a swoon that lasted into the end of the week.

In the USA, for instance, the Dow Jones Industrial Average got as high as 18,205 on Monday, slightly below its all-time high of 18,288 back on March 2. By Thursday, it traded below 17,600 briefly.

In Europe, the London FTSE made a new all-time high on Tuesday, March 24, at 7065. It fell rather hard the rest of the week. Other European stock indices did not make new highs last week, but fell into the end of the week nevertheless, thus creating a clear case of intermarket bearish divergence.

Japan and China also soared to new multi-year highs, but Hong Kong, India, and Australian did not. More intermarket bearish divergence. In the case of the Nikkei, it was testing 20,000 on Monday, March 23, for the first time since 2000. By Friday, March 27, it was testing 19,000.

As unsettling as stock indices were, the performance of Crude Oil was even more hectic. Last week, March 18, Crude Oil tested $42/barrel, it lowest market since the collapse in late 2008. However, one week later, March 26, it was up to $52.48, a gain of nearly 25%. But then, one day later, March 27 (Friday), it was back down to 48.73.

The force behind this swing was the civil war in Yemen, with the Iranians and Saudi Arabia taking opposite sides. This further complicates the USA'S Middle East strategy. As stated in Friday's Wall Street Journal, "Thus means the Obama administration finds itself in a highly awkward position. It now is lined up against Iran in Yemen. Meanwhile, it is trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with Tehran and is working on the same side as the Iranians to defeat Islamic State fighters in Iraq". WSJ, March 27, 2015, "Obama Struggles With Messy Mideast", Jay Solomon and Gerald Seib.

Gold and Silver followed the path of Silver. Gold bottomed at 1141.60 on March 17, while Silver held its prior week's low at 1526, thus prompting our special update and buy signal for Gold that day to subscribers. The call was a good one as Gold soared to test 1220 on Thursday, just one week after our report, and Silver 1740. Both pulled back slightly on Friday.

Best Trades of the Past Week :

Unavailable this week as my plane trip was delayed two times today and I have to write this week's column from the air with limited battery power left. It will resume next week, unless the lunar eclipse grabs me too.

Short-Term Geocosmics and Longer-Term Thoughts :  

We now enter a period containing a couple of very interesting geocosmic signatures. On the bullish side, we find the Sun trine Jupiter on April 2 and Jupiter turning direct on April 8. More often than not, equities seem to rally into these types of signatures (but not always). Jupiter's nature is usually jovial. He is optimistic and generous. However, when things don't go his way, he can panic and loses become exaggerated.

During this same period, we also find the Sun translating the Uranus/Pluto separating square, with the Sun square Pluto on April 5 and the Sun conjunct Uranus on April 6. This is powerful because it also coincides with the lunar eclipse on April 4, where the Sun/Uranus conjunction makes a T-square with the Moon and Pluto in cardinal signs.

This is all happening going into and through the Easter holiday weekend, so on the one hand, it could coincide with a major market reversal nearby, and on the other hand, it could be a very explosive and dangerous time. The "influence" of this celestial gathering may have already started, coinciding with the tragic suicidal mission of the German airplane co-pilot who allegedly crashed the German Wings aircraft into the French Alps last week. Yet the aspect continues to unfold through the next 10 days, so its orb of influence is not over.

Man-made or natural calamities are not unknown to this type of pattern, for it has association with air disasters, earthquakes, high winds, and/or terrorist activity, all of which that can endanger human lives (Pluto). This is not a time to put one's safety at unusual risk. However, it can also correlate with unusually brilliant ideas and/or solutions to difficult problems. In terms of negotiations between world powers, it can indicate either a breakthrough and resolution, or a complete breakdown. It is interesting that the USA and Iranian "deal" is due this week. Will they make a deal, or will they break the deal ? The aspect suggests that things will not work out as everybody expects. But, I am not sure anybody expects anything. Uranus is usually accompanied by unexpected surprises. It is an aspect more associated with separations and divorces and new love interests) than it is with marriage and partnership. I don't think this bodes well for Israel. But then again, maybe I will be surprised - even though very little surprises me these days.

In financial markets, these two signatures (Jupiter trine and station, plus lunar eclipse making a T-square with Uranus/Pluto) operate the same way. It can coincide with much hope and a rally. It can also coincide with a sudden reversal in trend, or a complete breakdown as a new trend (bearish) gets underway. Fundamentally, things are changing. Yet keep in mind : stocks generally like Jupiter and Gold does not. However, Gold does like eclipses and Uranus/Pluto being activated because it suggests chaos. Gold prices thrive in chaos, except when Pluto acts manipulative.

Thus, even though the 33-month exact square of Uranus and Pluto ended on March 17, this week's lunar eclipse resurrects its themes once again. It is sort of like a secondary reaction. It will wane as the year gets on, and I believe market cycles will return to more historical norms, with Uranus slowly moving out of influence. I think the normalization of cycles has already started. Remember March 2. It is the all-time high in the DJIA and S&P so far. It was also the day before Jupiter formed its second of three trine aspects to Uranus, an important factor outlined in our special webinar on February 21. Stay tuned for the next one on June 20. In the meantime, we will have a special stock market update in our next MMA Cycles Report. You won't want to miss it if you trade stocks.

             I am oftentimes asked for recommendations of a money manager who uses my methods, since I won't manage other people's money. The thing is, almost all money managers I know use their own systems. But many subscribe to my services and share my thoughts about the future of the economy, various financial markets, and how to position one's portfolio along these lines. One money manager who subscribes to our services that I would suggest for those looking to structure a longer-term portfolio, such as a retirement account, is Duke O'Neill of Boulder, Colorado. He can be reached at dukeoneil1@gmail.com, or 1-(303) 545-5837. For those looking for a professional trader of commodity and futures contract might consider Ted Lee Fisher at ted.fisher@comcast.net. Ted is a legend in financial futures and has a seat on the CME. Both are very knowledgeable of the tools I use, of the way I am looking at markets, and yet each makes their own decisions as to exactly when to enter and exit any market. They will be more than happy to assist you.

             To the above list, I would also like to recommend long-term MMA subscriber Erwin Brunner of Zurich, Switzerland. Mr. Brunner is the founder of BrunnerInvest AG. One of his five funds was awarded theBest in-house fund of funds in the world recently. Mr. Brunner is a former director of the Swiss Banking Corporation (today it is known as UBS), and a general director of Rothschild Bank in Zurich. As an independent wealth manager for high net worth individuals and institutional clients only, he places his clients into the funds of the best performing fund managers in the world, via his own research and experience. For high net worth readers interested in Mr. Brunner's funds, please contact him through www.brunnerinvest.ch.

             The newly revised The Sun, The Moon, and Silver Book : Secrets of a Silver Trader, is now out. This is a book that you will use as a reference guide for...many, many years. It identifies all the key Sun-Moon combinations that have a higher (and lower) than expected probability of correlating with 4% or greater reversals in COMEX Silver. It also identifiesBig Range Days - those days in which the range of Silver is most likely to be 3.5% or more of the price of Silver, which is a great tool for day traders. This book fulfills the dream of all traders : high probability winning trade possibilities, with minimal market exposure. It is thatextra edge. And Silver is a great market to trade now. The cost is $125.00. For ordering on line.

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.
