“Nothing like this has ever happened before.” I hear it all the time.

Dead wrong.

We just can’t remember it. These cycles are longer than a human life and by and large, nobody pays any attention to history. No one alive can remember back to the previous period, a warm/dry cycle top which ended in extreme temperatures and behaviour before society collapsed altogether.

We’re at the top of both a 172 year financial collapse cycle and a stronger 515 year revolutionary cycle. The tide has already turned, as it has so many times before in history. As I’ve been predicting for over five years now, the climate is turning colder, bringing with it a turn of fortunes that will lead to an eventual overturning of the social order.

Dr. Wheeler and the Big Book

From the writing of Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler:

“In his ignorance, greed, and intemperance, man has continually gone from one extreme to the other. He is moved towards anarchy, exploitation of the underprivileged, unfair competition, and weakened government during cold times; towards excessive regimentation, reaction, persecution, communism, fascism, fanaticism, and the crushing of freedom and individual initiative during warm times.”

You’ll find more of Dr. Wheeler’s work in my recent post about his Big Book.

At cycle tops, the history is clear: “Once more, for the 26th time, a fiendish, nation-falling war corrupted after the moral tone of society had been lowered by excessive temperatures. Nothing like the atrocities that were committed hat ever happened in the memories of living man because no one was alive who could remember back to the end of the last epic that had terminated in a similar outburst of degenerative behavior.” — Michael Zahorchak, Climate: The Key to Understanding Business Cycles.

What we say this weekend, was a salvo in another attempted “nation-failing war,” a war that historically erupts after the moral tone of society has been lowered after a period of excessively high temperatures. As we turn colder and dryer (wetter first — as the pattern dictates, bringing floods and extreme weather), general anger and the oppression by tyrannical governments will devolve into revolution and civil war.

My video on Global Cooling is here. My video on climate and the stock market is here.

Expect the unpredictable behaviour of governments to continue as this cycle tops. It will affect the stock market on a short term basis, but the waves will continue to play out to a new top as predicted by the Elliott Wave Principle, until the greater social mood turns more negative than positive. That turning point is on the near horizon, as my current wave count predicts.

Stay safe.

The Market This Week

Here's the latest daily chart of ES (emini futures)

Above is the daily chart of ES (click to enlarge, as with any of my charts).

The fourth wave triangle  continues to play out, as predicted. So, I'd give this bull market about a month. Then we magically turn into a bear market and we'll eventually head down at a breath-taking pace.

This week was a frustrating one in which the market attempted to go higher, but on Friday succumbed to the pressures and as in the process of correcting a series of triangles that played out in mostly a sideways fashion. I expect the uncertainty to continue this weekend.

However, come Monday, the direction is likely to be up as we continue to trace out the D wave of the triangle. Note that the C wave down is usually the most complex wave, but when it isn't (as in the present case), the D wave typically takes on that role, as we're quite obviously seeing here.

I would expect the next wave down (after we reach the 2780 area) to be much quicker, as this market is so near the top (we're seeing a lot of underlying weakness).

After the E wave down is complete, we'll take off again to the upside in a fifth wave, which will simply finish off the pattern. We'll get to a new high and probably more, but don't expect (as I've been saying for a very long time) a large fifth wave that travels any great distance.

Over the next week, expect more upside as we trace out the D leg of the triangle.

Summary:  More sideways to come as ES/SPX trace out a contracting triangle, which in a fourth wave position signals that a trend is about to end after one more wave (in this case, to the upside). That fifth wave up to a new high will be the end of the 500 year bull market.
