Something Comes This Way…
Brace yourself for the timeframe around the U.S. mid-terms….
The above chart illustrates the Nasdaq 100 index. This index was created and launched January 31, 1985. At that time, heliocentric Venus was at 1.00 degrees latitude; Mercury was -5.00 degrees latitude.
To re-fresh your memory, here is what latitude is:
Project a plane in 2-dimensions out into space from the midpoint (equator) of the Sun.
Next, remember that each of the planets orbits the Sun following a 2-dimensional plane of motion. These planes are NOT parallel to the plane created by projecting the Sun’s midpoint. Therefore, the difference between these planes and the Sun’s plane is called “latitude”.
W.D. Gann (and others from his era) said to take note of the latitudes of Mercury, Venus, and Mars at the IPO date (or first trade date) of a stock or commodity. Future events when said planets pass these natal latitudes should be watched carefully. But there is more…. It is also important to watch the inverse of the latitude event. That is, let’s say that at an IPO date a planet was at 1.00 degrees latitude. One must be alert to future events when said planet passes 1.00 degrees latitude. This is a “parallel” event. One must also be alert to events of said planet passing -1.00 degrees latitude. These are “contra-parallel” events.
In the case of the Nasdaq 100, one must watch for Venus passing through +/- 1.00 degrees latitude and Mercury passing +/- 5.00 degrees latitude.
October 28, 2026 will have Mercury passing -5.00 degrees latitude. Expect some sort of a price reaction (maybe bullish, maybe bearish) on the Nasdaq 100 index. Whatever happens will have spill-over effects on other global indices.
What is significant about October 28?, you ask. Answer – the elections in Israel. Enough said….
Early November will have Venus passing -1.00 degrees latitude. Expect some sort of a price reaction (maybe bullish, maybe bearish) on the Nasdaq 100 index. Whatever happens will have spill-over effects on other global indices.
What is significant about early November?, you ask. Answer – U.S. mid-term elections. You can let your imaginations run wild as to what may happen. In the extreme, I read this morning on an email that I get from a financial writer that Trump will attempt an insurrectionist move that will make the January 2021 Capitol Hill mob event look mild by comparison. As I say – let your imagination run wild…
As subscribers to my bull, Bear & Planets newsletter will tell you, I use the techniques of 1930s trader George Bayer to help me navigate the markets. On the above Nasdaq chart I have overlaid the projections (red and green lines) for his Rule 10-A and 11-A. These projections land squarely at November 2-3. Further evidence that something is going to happen. Again- let me be clear…what lays ahead could be bullish or it could be bearish. I will watch the trend oscillators (Price Percent Oscillator and RSI Stochastic) to see what the trend is doing…
Thanks for taking the time to read this post….Have a great day…
Power Struggle in Iran
(This Post originally appeared on this site on July 10, 2026)
The Iranian situation has now bifurcated; broken apart into two factions: the moderates and the radicals.
We have seen this movie before. An iron-fisted ruler keeps all the political/religious/cultural factions in his country under control. The ruler is forcibly removed from power. A vacuum is created; the various factions cannot manage to get on the same page together. Things spiral out of control.
Iran has now broken into the moderate camp and the radical camp. The moderates engage in talks with the U.S. administration; progress is made. The radicals (IRGC members) meanwhile go stir crazy and start firing missiles at ships in the Strait of Hormuz and at U.S. military facilities in nearby Gulf countries.
WTI Oil futures follow two offsetting 58.65-day cycles plus an 88-day cycle. One of these 58.65-day cycles ends on July 18.
On July 19, a Bayer’s Rule 11-A projection lands.
August 3 and August 14 are two more Bayer’s Rule dates.
From the April 7 swing high, if one projects 2nd harmonic advances of heliocentric Mercury, the date of August 3 comes into focus.
The one thing planetary movements do for the trader/investor is they present future dates to focus on.
July 18 and 19 are week-end dates. Look for some kind of price reaction next Monday July 20. Then start to anticipate August 3.
If this conflict has any chance of settling down, the radicals must be brought under control by the moderates. The two dates for something to happen by are being dictated by the planets.
What Has Happened Since
The projected July 19 date turned out to be the geometric mean of the bullish run that lasted from July 6 to 23.
August 3-4 was a swing low on Oil prices.
August 14 was the geometric mean of the bullish run that lasted from early to August 20.
Right now, if one makes some Bayer’s Rule projections from recent pivot points (see above chart), it becomes evident that the first week of October will bring some pivot points on WTI Oil. What could happen in the coming 7 or so days?
