I see a few possible events that will change EURO trend as Martin said:

1. Thursday this week ECB will announce decision regarding extending QE program and possible lowering of interest rate.
2. Next week FOMC meeting takes place. Markets were very sceptical until last Friday's Nonfarm payrolls that we will see any interest rate hike this year. Highly likely that they will reasure to the markets the path of hiking the interest rate.
3. EU banks problem over the weekend, namely Deutsche Bank (it is in panic mode for the past year - selling and contracting it's businesses all over the world - something is brewing).

I don't think he definitely stated that the Euro will crack next week. I think it is a turning point that we might see some sea change in bond spreads or debt crisis or something, that might precipitate the actual move of the Euro. Or the Euro might make its move now.

This is what he wrote 3 weeks ago

The target for the collapse was 2016.202. This comes into play March 13/14, 2016.

This did sound like drama to me, but maybe you're right and some other "kick-off event" will come first. It did make most sense to me that Gold would fall by the end of the month, but the things that are potentially coming in the Euro made me think twice. Either way, the price will likely go down soon according to MA.

He won't be wrong on the US stock market DJIA reaching a minimum of 23,000 by 2017.9 (40,000 is a possibility). But also after the gold low, it should also be a viable investment. Diversify.

If you get another change to buy in the 15,000s, I'd jump on it, as that will be a 50% gain over 1.5 years.

I think gold will out perform though after its low. And crypto currency will surely outperform if you can buy it on a coming low and if you chose the right one (Bitcoin currently very murky and undergoing a scalepocalpyse).

Martin Armstrong is still emphasizing a dead-cat bounce of gold to perhaps $1309+, then a crash to a final low < $1000 and mostly likely < $850:

We are targeting the reaction high and the final low.

Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks for the info, I cashed in the majority of my gold and silver stocks yesterday on the expectation this rally is tiring and the low is yet to come. I have followed MA for a long time and broadly speaking I have found it to be profitable for me and a learning experience. I tend to have my own investment ideas which I cross-reference against his long term predictions (I am not a trader) and that works well enough for me.

I must admit piling my money into the DOW/S&P 500 has so far been too much of a ask. I know MA says the computer calls it and to disengage emotionally but it really is a challenge to put my faith, albeit temporarily, in a stock market near the highs going into one of the biggest meltdowns in history! The reasoning makes sense but even still! I feel this is one of his biggest calls yet, I really have to decide shortly whether I go all in with him or not.

MA is forecasting a collapse for the Euro next week. To me it looks like a strong USD could push Gold off the cliff in the coming weeks, IF the Euro collapses. Just as in Oct. 2015 where both the Euro and Gold plunged.
What do you think?

Somehow, I have difficulty believing that the US Stock market and the US dollar can
continue to soar. Mean reversion gonna be a bitch an' all even as it is.

I can agree with MA from the trader's perspective, and that accepts that markets can
remain irrational longer than I can stay solvent.

But eventually, rational wins, and fundamentals matter.

ISIS is building operations in Mindanao!

This is why Davao City Mayor Duturte (who is running for President in the upcoming May elections) has stated that Federalism (giving more autonomy to regions) is essential for peace. The corrupt Congress in Manila failed to pass the Bangasamoro law on time because Manila wants to keep all the tax revenue for themselves.

I think it is nearing the time to leave Mindanao. Also the Zika virus has arrived in the Philippines.

I believe Martin Armstrong has the correct model of what will transpire over the next few years.

His model is basically that the entire world is short the dollar ($10 trillion in international corporate bonds denominated in US dollars, various currencies pegged to the dollar, e.g. the Hong Kong dollar and Chinese Yuan, which enabled China to undercut the world's manufacturing and become a highly imbalanced economy with 65% share being for factories and only a miniscule consumer share, which leaves China with overcapacity and negative profit margins, etc)..

So basically what will happen now is the entire world will go into collapse mode as the US dollar goes higher and the world's wealthy flee into the US stock market as the final safe haven. This will cause the US dollar and US stock market to sky rocket until about 2017.9, after which the US will collapse due to a strong dollar overheating the US consumer economy and collapsing exports. From 2018 to 2020, will be "an over the cliff" collapse for the entire world, since the US economy was the last one still standing up in 2017. Asia will bottom in 2020, because fundamentally Asia has the youth and the growth potential without the retirees that will fight for Socialism. Asia's debt can be cleared out by debt defaults, but the West's debt is cultural and can't be cleared out, because the boomers will fight politically for their retirements and demand the government tax everyone to pay their retirements.

So March 13/14 is the turning point that should see crisis accelerate outside the USA. Just this past week China announced laying off 1.9 million steel workers. The exodus of capital from China going to the USA for safe haven has radically accelerated, some even saying China's reserves will be threatened as this accelerates.

Add to this, if we go 'Full Rickards', the US Fed operates using flawed Phillips Curve and NAIRU modelling and will therefore completely miss the real state of the economy. They are looking at flawed figures that tell them growth is picking up and they will raise once in March and again in June before realising their folly (that the US is in recession). As is stated in their last dot-plot communique. Then its some for of QE, too little too late.

Another rise will be the manning of panic stations short term and the USD will get a big boost as people will now think the rising cycle is actually on and not a 'one and done'.

I'm long term

What if there is no long-term:


Well, that's the question we've all be asking since 2009 essentially. I'll definitely consider what you're saying and I appreciate your comments. It's hard for me to imagine BTC going to zero. The only way it doesn't make sense for me to keep holding it through the upcoming economic turbulence is in that event that it does fail. What are the odds?

I don't know but even if it doesn't fail to stop functioning, I am nearly certain the mining is controlled by the Chinese and they will cooperate with the G20 to make sure you Bitcoin's don't transact until you pay Hellary Clinton or Merkel 100% taxes on your gains (because you can't prove your coins weren't used in money laundering before you obtained them). Capital controls are coming and Bitcoin will not escape them.

That's a nice chart, btcbug.

I found another (not as nice, but illustrates more or less the same).  This one compares the Bitcoin ETF vs. the GLD (the ETF for gold, "paper gold").  While this is not a perfect pair to compare, it is "good enough".  This compares the recent ratios of BTC vs. gold (scale change of course as it is the GBTC vs. the GLD, neither of which are exactly the asset they each track).  Still, FWIW

It shows only the most recent five months or so (probably because GBTC is so new), but if gold and Bitcoin were perfectly correlated you would see NO CHANGE (or very little let's say) in the ratio.  Instead it has varied between o.25 or so and 0.65.  And that is just in 5 - 6 months.

Thanks. It's hard to find charts going back any length of time and comparing Gold, Silver with BTC.

Gold and Silver are highly correlated long term, but can we say the same thing about Gold / BTC? Crypto hasn't been around for long and so when I see the negative correlation between the two since last July, is that just a short term negative or are we witnessing a change that will become the new normal between the two?

It makes sense to me that BTC/Gold would be highly correlated, but do we have enough data?

Thank you for this summary! I find it a bit difficult to paint the big picture from Armstong's cryptic blog posts, but this is sort of how I was translating it.

Incorrect. They are highly correlated (if a smoothing filter is employed) since 2013. Gold had a rise recently and so did Bitcoin.


I found this chart:

Source:http://allcoinsnews.com/2016/01/29/tradebock-research-finds-that-bitcoin-gold-negative-correlation-has-intensified/


Yes there are periods where it does seem highly correlated, but that chart is actually showing us that most of last year was the opposite. Thoughts?
