The relationship between the copper price and the S&P 500 Index is one of generally positive correlation, with divergent movements at times. The copper price is an economic bellwether due to its extensive industrial usage; the S&P represents general equity market sentiment. In the days of inflation driven AI craze the price of copper keeps declining.

ICT Daily and Intraday Bias | Darya Filipenka
Determining the daily bias in trading is not about establishing a preconceived bias before the market commences trading, as this approach can often prove to be inaccurate. Instead, it relies on experience and adherence to specific rules. For example, being bullish doesn't mean buying every day, and being bearish doesn't mean selling every day. Traders should wait for specific conditions to meet their expectations, such as discount arrays for bullish trades and premium arrays tor bearish trades, during specific times of the day.
Furthermore, the economic calendar can be effectively employed alongside the daily chart to foresee potential manipulation linked to high-impact news catalysts. Ultimately, determining the daily bias demands the amalgamation of diverse insights acquired through mentorship and hands-on experience. One of the key factors in determining daily and intraday bias is the previous day's high and low. These levels act as reference points that help traders gauge the strength of the current trend and anticipate potential price movements.
To recognize bias, we must identify what order flow is currently being respected. In bullish markets, we expect discount arrays to support price, while in bearish markets we see resistance from premium arrays. Recognizing a change in the state of delivery of price will be important when timing reversals.

It is vital to keep in mind that the daily bias is not a fixed concept. The market's bias can change over the course of the day due to factors like news events, economic data, or geopolitical influences. Traders must remain flexible and modify their strategies accordingly.

ICT Advanced Market Structure | Darya Filipenka
ICT market structure refers to the way the market behaves and shifts based on various factors such as institutional order flow, imbalances, and key levels. It is represented in a series of either higher lows and higher highs = bullish, or series of lower highs and lower lows = bearish, and the actual turning points that include highs and lows within it (intermediate highs and lows).
The market trades in a generic pattern or rhythm and it is easy to read if one is aware of the basic structure price tends to move in.
- Generally, the market trades from short term low (STL) to short term high (STH) back to a new short-term tow (STL). As these STL’s and STH's form, they will develop a 'market structure' of price action.
- Any short term low (STL) that has higher short-term lows (STL) on both sides of it is considered an Intermediate term low (ITL).
- Any short term high (STH) that has lower short-term highs (STH) on both sides of it is considered an intermediate term high (ITH).
- Any Intermediate term low (ITL) that has higher intermediate term lows (ITL) on both sides of it is considered long term low (LTL).
- Any Intermediate term high (ITH) that has lower intermediate term highs (ITH) on both sides of it is considered long term high (LTH).
The mid-level time frame will act as an Intermediate-Term Perspective. Following the Trade Setup Opportunity found on the HTF, the mid-level will give you more definition in terms of structure based on that HTF Level. Managing trades will be done via a mid-level time frame.
The lowest time frame will act as a Short-Term Perspective. Following the Trade Setup Opportunity found on the HTF and insights given with the mid-level. The Short-Term Perspective will give you even more definition in terms of structure. Timing trades with entries will be done via the lowest time frame.
ICT Advanced Market Structure pairs very well with the ICT Market Maker Buy Model and Sell Model.

S&P 500 March 2024 Seasonality │ Jeff Hirsch
Over the recent 21 years March has been a decent performing month for the market. Average gains over the period range from a low of 0.78% by DJIA to a respectable 1.40% by NASDAQ.
March typically opens positively but selling pressure and weakness tend to follow quickly thereafter with choppy trading until around mid-month. From here on the market generally rallied to finish out the month. End-of-Q1 portfolio adjustments have contributed to additional choppy trading during the last three or four trading days of March. Election year average performance is influenced by across-the-board double-digit losses in 2020, but March’s pattern is similar with weakness in the first half and modestly improved trading in the second half.

On Realism and War with China | John Mearsheimer
Lex Fridman: The communication gap between China and the United States seems to be much greater than that of what was the former Soviet Union and the United States.
.PNG)
John Mearsheimer: It’s an interesting question. A lot of people describe the Cold War as an ideological competition above all else.
Communism versus liberal democracy or communism versus liberal capitalism, whatever. I actually don’t believe that. The Soviets were realists to the core. Stalin was a realist par excellence, and ideology did not matter much in Stalin’s foreign policy. And if you look at Soviet foreign policy after World War II, throughout the Cold War, they were realists to the core. And in those days the Americans were realists. Sure, a lot of liberal ideology floating around out there, but the Americans were realists. One of the reasons we avoided a shooting match between the United States and the Soviet Union from 1947 to 1989 was because both sides understood the basic balance of power logic.
The US-China competition is somewhat different. But first of all, the Chinese are realists to the core. I’ve spent a lot of time in China. I am basically a rock star in China. The Chinese are my kind of people. They are realists. They speak my language. It’s the United States that is no longer very realist. American leaders have a very powerful liberal bent and tend not to see the world in realist terms.
That’s fascinating. So the Chinese are pragmatic realists and think of the world as a competition of military powers?
Yeah, you are actually right. And I think we will avoid war. The problem with the Americans is, it’s not just their liberalism. It’s the possibility that we will pursue a rollback policy. During the Cold War the American grand strategy towards the Soviet Union was: containment, containment, containment. We now know from the historical record that the United States was not only pursuing containment. We were trying to rollback Soviet power to put it bluntly. We were trying to wreck the Soviet Union. And I would not be surprised moving forward with regard to China if the United States pursues a serious rollback policy.
So you’re saying throughout history the United States was always pursuing rollback policies?
Look, you don’t respect the power of other nations. You fear the power of other nations.
Will there be a war with China in the 21st century?
I don’t know. But my argument is yes, there will be war with China.
The Destruction of the United States as we know it | Martin Armstrong
I have studied many forms of government. I have found that Republics have always crumbled to dust because they are the most corrupt form of government one can create. Even a Dictatorship or Monarchy is never so corrupt, for they are not suspectable to bribery as Republics. The criticism of Democracy has come from the Greek philosophers who saw the people as too stupid to make decisions. Our representatives look down upon us the same way.

» If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle. «
Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
Many wanted to believe that the Roman Republic was a democracy. Yet, this democracy was a total facade, for it was always under aristocratic rule – not the common people. We too live in a facade where they tell us who is the enemy and we are expected to fight and die who their pleasure. We have no right to vote should we go to war against Russia or China. Rome was the same way. The people had no real rights in this regard.
Assuming they do not take up Alexander Soros’ bold implicate to assassinate Trump so he can flood the United States with his Open Society that disregards culture, religion, and ethics, the computer is forecasting a tumultuous post-2024 election in 2025. History repeats for human nature never changes. What we will see post-2024 is the destruction of the United States as we know it.

The Psychology of Modern Leftism | Theodore Kaczynski
59. We divide human drives into three groups: (1) those drives that can be satisfied with minimal effort; (2) those that can be satisfied but only at the cost of serious effort; (3) those that cannot be adequately satisfied no matter how much effort one makes. The power process is the process of satisfying the drives of the second group. The more drives there are in the third group, the more there is frustration, anger, eventually defeatism, depression, etc.
Assistant professor Kaczynski at UC Berkeley in 1968.
60. In modern industrial society natural human drives tend to be pushed into the first and third groups, and the second group tends to consist increasingly of artificially created drives.

Cosmic Cluster Days | March - April 2024
Cosmic Cluster Day | Composite Line | Cosmic Noise Channel
○ = Full Moon | ● = New Moon
The fundamental premise of financial astrology suggests that the movements, angles, and forces among celestial bodies—such as the Sun, planets, moons, and nodes—are linked to human experiences as well as trends and reversals in financial markets. The phrase "As above, so below" encapsulates this belief. The blue summation or composite line shown in the chart is calculated exclusively from heliocentric planetary longitudes, drawing on 36 heliocentric planetary cycles. While the correlation between this composite line and, for instance, US stock markets can sometimes appear striking, it is crucial to recognize that it remains a reductionist model and an astrological exercise. Nevertheless, it is undeniably one of the most effective forecasting models developed by financial astrologers to date.
The ingredients and the methodology were developed and revealed by an extraordinary man named Larry Berg ("I discovered the Astro Method on November 19, 1980. At 1:45 p.m., to be exact."). The calculation of the composite line can be done of course manually and graphically with a Nautical Almanac and less complicated, much faster and more exact with software like e.g. an Excel Ephemeris, Alcyone Ephemeris or Timing Solution. Time and date in the chart refer to New York City (EST/EDT).

Planetary Harmonics | Larry Berg
» The heavenly motions are nothing but a continuous song for several voices, to be perceived by the intellect, not by the ear; a music which, through discordant tensions, through syncopations and cadenzas as it were, progresses toward certain predesigned six-voiced cadences, and thereby sets landmarks in the immeasureable flow of time. «
The Harmony of the World, Johannes Kepler, 1619.
» Planetary angles affect solar activity, which, in turn, affects the biosphere, which includes human physical and emotional well being. In terms of physics, my guess is that the cause is the gravitational effect of harmonic angles on the sun. After a high harmonic occurs, solar activity increases, increasing solar radiation. Solar radiation is responsible for ionization of Earth's upper atmosphere, causing geomagnetic and atmospheric changes, which, in turn, affect weather and the biosphere. «
» The fact that the sun affects weather, and that the weather affects biology, is fairly well established. There really is no doubt in my mind that we are affected, emotionally and hysically, by the weather and environmental radiations. There are many scientific studies showing this. Dr. Becker of New York is famous for his work showing how the human body's electrical field is altered by the natural cycles of Earth's magnetic field, causing changes in biorhythms. «
» John Nelson took the electromagnetic approach, equating the solar system to a gigantic generator. He thought of the planets as magnets. The planets are, in fact, gigantic bar magnets, and they're moving. That's why the effect of the planets upon the sun is cyclical and not steady like a generator. That's what you'd expect. I tend to think that the cause is a combination of electromagnetism and gravitation. Einstein worked for half of his life on combining these two forces in his unified field theory. «
» To calculate the Astro Method Indicator I first look up each planet's heliocentric longitude in the Astronomical Almanac published by the U.S. Naval Observatory. Then I subtract the lanets' longitudes from each other, plot those values on a chart, and connect the dots. Every combination of the nine planets makes 36 cycles. The value of these cycles ranges from 0° to 180° (two planets are never more than 180° apart). For example, if Jupiter's longitude were 120° on January 1 and Saturn's longitude were 140°, I'd enter a dot on a graph on January 1 at 20°. Then I'd do the same calculation for the next day, and the next day, and so on. Then I'd connect the dots to form that cycle line. I would do this for every other planetary relationship for as many days or years as I wish to calculate, depending upon the time frame I wished to study. «
» The Astro Indicator doesn't forecast turns in commodity prices very well. Those markets are more dependent on the actual supply and demand of the particular commodity, rather than on psychology. However, on a longer-term basis, I've studied the relationship between commodity prices and the solar cycle, and there's absolutely no question in my mind that commodity prices are dominated by the 11-year solar cycle. I've studied the correlation since 1873. Commodity prices peak at solar maximum and bottom at solar minimum. It's weather related. «
» The stock market is a barometer of mass psychology. If you really think about it, it boggles the mind. The stock market is a single place where millions of people go to play with their money. What better barometer of human mass psychology could there be than the stock market? The next time you read a stock market commentary, make an effort to filter out the psychological adjectives. Words like optimism, fear, and anxiety are everywhere. And the tides that move men are intractable. The Astro Indicator works, and it will always work. Because it's based on the inextricable link between Man and Nature. «
How to calculate the Astro Indicator: All calculations and charting was done by hand when I first began my work. I have since developed software spreadsheets using Excel which calculate BT automatically in seconds which previously took me several days to do by hand.
We'll go through every step here and do one week of the indicator. You can, of course, do as much time at once as you want when you start doing it yourself. However, we're dealing with lines here that have to be seen well, so the smaller the time scale the better. The process will take some getting used to in the beginning. Even with a computer to help in the calculations, it takes about an hour to do one month. Once you get the hang of it though you should be able to do one year in about 2 days. And of course you can go as far as you want into the future as you want, data availability permitting. The heliocentric ephemeris I use is the one published each year by the U.S. Naval Observatory called the Astronomical Almanac (called the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac prior to 1981). Most university and public libraries should carry it in the government documents department. There are sources for heliocentric data further out than one year, probably at a local astrology book store. And there are many online sources for this data, some provided in the Links section.
Figuring the cycles: The first thing to do is get the Astronomical Almanac (for longitude data online visit: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tc.cgi#top. Here, I'll do the time discussed previously--January 11 to January 17, 1973. I always like to copy the pages I need rather than use the whole book. It's much easier working with separate pages than a whole book, especially since you often have to shuffle from page to page.
The Julian Date is a scientific number denoting the date. Latitude is not used. Latitude refers to the degrees the planet is north or south of the solar equator. Radius Vector, Orbital Longitude, and Daily Motion are also not used. We only use Longitude.
First we calculate and plot all the planet cycles except Mercury. Mercury is done separately because it moves so fast and would cause chaos if we added it with all the other planets together. Listed below are each of the planet cycle relationships we'll now calculate and plot. I suggest scratching them off as they're done. This is important so you don't forget what you've already done:
There are 28 cycles here. Mercury will add another 8 making a total of 36 cycles in all.
First make a graph with the horizontal 'x' axis divided into six equal sections for Jan 11-17. The vertical 'y' axis should be divided into 180 degrees with 180 at the top. Graph paper should be used that has enough horizontal lines to represent each of the 180 degrees. The paper should be large enough to be able to distinguish 180 vertical points, which might mean a sheet of a size substantially larger than 8 1/2 x 11. The size depends on what kind of graph paper you find available. However, the larger the better. The larger it is the easier it will be to work with and see what you're doing. You'll also need a mechanical pencil with thin lead, the thinner the better (I use .5mm) and a metal straight-edge. Wooden rulers get dirty and their edge wears out.
Drawing the cycles: The difference between Venus and Earth longitudes (238.9 minus 110.6) is 128.3 degrees. So on the graph we'll place a reference dot on Jan 11 at 128.3 degrees. We do this calculation for each day for Venus-Earth and get seven dots. Connect the dots. That line is the cycle line representing the heliocentric longitudinal distance between Venus and Earth for the period.
This same process is then done for each of the remaining 27 planetary cycles listed above. So next find the difference between Venus and Mars longitudes for each day. Then plot those values on your chart and connect the dots. There are certain "rules of the road" to observe while doing the calculations:

■ If you subtract two of the longitudes of the planets and you get a number greater than 180, subtract that number from 360 to get the right number to plot.
■ If you subtract two of the longitudes of the planets and you get a number less than 0 but greater than -180, multiply that number by -1 to make it positive.
■ If you subtract two of the longitudes of the planets and you get a negative number less than 180, add 360 to get the right number to plot.
■ Simply put, the product of subtraction of two longitudes should always be between 0 and 180 for plotting.
■ If you subtract two of the longitudes of the planets and you get a number less than 0 but greater than -180, multiply that number by -1 to make it positive.
■ If you subtract two of the longitudes of the planets and you get a negative number less than 180, add 360 to get the right number to plot.
■ Simply put, the product of subtraction of two longitudes should always be between 0 and 180 for plotting.
Now Mercury has to be done, on a new graph. The 8 cycles for Mercury are:
When the graph is finished you should have eight lines drawn.
Counting the Intersections: This is the fastest, simplest, and most rewarding part of the project. As you count the intersections you'll start to see how planetary angle harmonics take form. You'll now be, essentially, seeing into the future. In front of you will be an indicator which will tell you when the coming weather and stock market reversals will occur, when hurricanes will be generated, when an El Nino will occur, when wars are likely. You're now seeing the future tides of nature unfolding with cold scientific exactness, measurement, and calculation. You're now doing what innumerable cultures have crudely been doing since man first walked the earth and attempted to measure time and the seasons. I kinda laught to myself when I think 'what else did they have to do at night'?

This is the new Macro Astrology . . . the forecasting of weather and atmospheric system movements, times of geological disturbances, peculiarities of human and animal behavior, even times when viruses and bacteria are more active and abundant. Down through time, astrologers have satisfied themselves with following only six, ten, or maybe twenty planetary alignments in their work. Here you are looking at all possible planetary angle harmonics which is able to forecast the ebb and flow of all natural phenomena.
You've probably noticed by now that there are times in the charts when all the cycles converge at one time. These are times of strong planetary harmonics. What we simply do now is count the number of intersections between the lines that occur each day, that is, the number of times any two cycle lines cross during each day. Make a simple bar chart, divided into each day, and add up the number of intersections occurring each day.
We'll start with the 28-cycle sheet. On Jan 11 there was 1 intersection made. So on your graph paper make a bar chart indicating 1 for Jan 11. On Jan 12 there were 0 intersections, so leave Jan 12 blank on your bar chart. On Jan 13 there were 0 intersections. On Jan 14 there were 11 intersections, so put a bar line 11 high for Jan 14 on your bar chart. On Jan 15 there was 1 intersection. On Jan 16 there were 3 intersections.
You probably want to know how I counted the intersections when four cycle lines came together all at once on Jan 14. There are "laws of intersection". Two cycle lines coming together can only make one intersection, obviously. Three cycle lines coming together make three intersections. However, four cycles coming together make six intersections and five cycles together make ten intersections. So when four of the cycles came together on the 14th, six intersections were made.
Now we add the Mercury intersections to this bar chart. Based on the 8 Mercury Cycles Graph, Jan 11 has one intersection and Jan 15 has one intersection. Done.
This is the complete Astro Indicator Methodology.
