The 8.6-Month or 37.33-Week Cycle | Martin Armstrong

There are 37.33 weeks within an 8.6-month cycle. Looking at the 8.6-month turning points within the 8.6-year wave structure, we have the following dates:
 

Note, we have 6 waves within each half of the 8.6-year wave. This is caused by the parallel wave that groups 12 waves of 6 into the 72-interval wave. We can see that the difference between 2008.57 and 2009.29 is again 0.72% of a year. Once more, we see the interjection of the number 72.

 
The interaction between this 8.6-month cycle within the 8.6-year cycle is critical to comprehending how the natural cyclical forces function in all aspects of our physical world. On the 8.6-year wave, the first reaction low after the major high at 2007.15 is 2008.225, corresponding to March 23, 2008. 
 
You will notice that this date does not appear on the list of dates above. This turning point was the low for the AMEX Oil Index, from which a rally moved into May 21, 2008, just afterwards. Many commodities reached turning points ±1 week from that March 23rd target, such as cattle, sugar, coffee, cotton, wheat, and soybean oil, just to mention a few. 
 
When we compare the 8.6-month cycle (37.33 weeks), we see the target of July 27, 2008. Here, we find again turning points generally ±1 week or so. The Australian dollar reached a high on July 15, 2008, for the year. The Mexican peso peaked August 4. The Euro peaked on July 15. Now, if we look at the Swiss franc, the high was March 17, 2008; the high in the Japanese yen was also March 17, 2008. Let us now turn to the British pound; here, the high is November 9, 2007, and the Canadian dollar peaked November 7, 2007. Looking at the above list of 8.6-month dates, we see November 10, 2007.
