Introduction In March 2011 Uranus, the planet that is bound with astrology and renewal, goes into the sign Aries and begins a whole new, fresh round. It is already noticeable in astrology and in our introduction we announce two special and gratifying facts.
A world premier in The Netherlands: the first official bachelor degree in Astrology in the world has been initiated. Nowhere in The Netherlands or for that matter in the world was it
possible to take a bachelor degree in Astrology. This will soon change: Two years ago dr. Bettina Reijn and dr. Karen Hamaker-Zondag joined forces and now a lawfully recognised and official bachelor degree astrology is being constructed: the
Academy for Astrology – under contsruction For more information go to http://www.academievoorastrologie.nl/website/. Bettina and Karen organise information sessions for those interested in the course. The next gathering is Tuesday afternoon 22nd March. In May 2010 ISAR, NCGR, AFAN and the AFA began a dialogue about the need to educate the public about astrology. To enable the community to more effectively confront its critics, overcome objections and generally improve the impressions people have of astrology and astrologers, the organizations formed the Astrology News Service (ANS). The ANS website http://astrologynewsservice.com/ is the first online astrological newspaper exclusively written for an informed general audience. Articles posted on the website feature all types of astrology, as well as focus on issues related to astrology's believability and value to society.
Summary of market prospects for March: - Shares: The general opinion is that the share markets will make a downward correction within the positive trend in March. - Gold: The majority of analysts agree: gold will rise in March. - Euro/dollar : the rise in €/$ will not come above the resistance of 1.41-1.42 and then it will decline.

The American region rose on average the most in February with a rise of 2.57 percent; the Pacific Ocean was with 1.61 percent the weakest region thanks to a little minus from Hong Kong. Europe with its average rise of 2.43 percent was the one in the middle. The Japanese Nikkei stands out in a positive way with a rise of nearly 4 percent. The upward trend that started there in November 2010 is still intact. In the February issue we saw that Japan, Australia and Switzerland were the countries in our summary that had a strong currency. The share markets in these countries are now doing just as good as the markets in US dollars and euro countries. Defensive investors will do well noticing this and consider keeping a part of their shares portfolio in those countries and currencies. It was revealed in a currency rate change comparison from over the past two months that the euro and the US dollar are now pulling together a little more compared to the Yen, Swiss frank and the Australian $. With an expected further general rise in shares in 2011 it now seems to be a good time to pay more attention to the Eastern region, Australia, Japan and Switzerland in Europe for long-term share investments. Below you can see a summary of the currency rate ratios from 2009 until and including the end of this month.
It is revealed in a currency rate change comparison from over the past two months that the euro and the US dollar are now pulling together a little more compared to the Yen, Swiss frank and the Australian $. With an expected further general rise in 2011 in shares it now seems to be a good time to pay more attention to the Eastern region, Australia, Japan and Switzerland in Europe for long-term share investments. The Australian dollar, Swiss frank and Japanese Yen have since 2002 and 2008 come across stronger compared to respectively the American dollar and the Euro (see last issue). Researching the horoscopes of the United States1 and the Euro2 shows that both will be confronted with great opposing forces during the coming years and that validates a level spreading over various other world currencies, which could include the Australian dollar, Swiss frank and perhaps even the Japanese yen. We leave the Canadian dollar aside as the probability is small that there will be a big difference between the Canadian $ and the US $. 1) Prospects for 2011, Raymond Merriman
http://www.markettiming.nl/nl/producten/vooruitzichten-2011 2) Research article in Market Timing Digest in May 2010, soon available at markettiming.nl under “Articles”.
Above you can see the chart from the S&P 500 on day basis from 2011. The day rates from February are between the vertical lines. From an opening rate of 1289.14 it peaked on the 18th February at 1344.07, only to decline 3.7 percent until 24th February 1294.26 and the S&P 500 index closed the month on the 28th February with 1327.22. Last month our prognosis sounded as follows: “The majority of analysts are positive for the coming months. In February there is space for a healthy correction that will probably stay above the 1260 in the S&P and 10.929 in the Dow Hones. The AEX has a support line around 340. Investors who want to buy are advised to wait for the correction. Investors who are already long can remain seated keeping an eye on the general expectation that after the correction there will be rise again for a number of months.” The S&P and other share markets complied in February with the monthly prognosis from our analysts. The analysts who saw February’s direction were Dharmik Team1, GannTrader Jan van Gemeren2, Ray Merriman6, Grace K. Morris8, Barry Rosen11, Richard Schulz12 and Tjerk Spriensma13.Well done all!
The Financial astrologers about share markets in March The general opinion is that share markets find themselves in rough territory during March and will make a correction within the positive trend: Dharmik Team1: “March shouldn’t change the actual trend for stock markets. For DOW JONES we have a confirmed support at 12.000. Only under it you should consider short trades. As long as DOW manages to stay above this level new upward moves should be expected.” Gann Trader Jan 2: Most probably declining wave, recovery, decline, which will find a bottom mid March around 1270 and 1280. Victor Ledeboer 3
The decline seems to have begun but we still need to have patience a little longer. The expectancy is that resistance will show itself around the 369-370 zone, possibly a lower top. (Victor sees shares zig zag down in March.) Raymond Merriman4
“The strategy is to remain bullish until in June 2011 and to buy in all corrective declines. Ideally one could do this after a correction down of 2-5 days ideally arriving in March, beginning of April. All declines under 1162.60 in the vicinity of the S&P contract make our preferences turn from bullish to bearish.” Gaby Mittelman5 “The American markets: S&P trading in a channel. I think it will reach 1343-56-69. Asian markets are also positive. The only one to "blink" was South Korea. But it was the one that rallied most.” Grace K. Morris6 “NEW FAVORED SECTORS We removed the Airline Transportation sector last month from our Recommended List and it seems the high price of oil is a detriment to the sector. Although airlines have been hurt, the manufacturing company that makes airplanes was not. Boeing was just awarded a U.S. Air Force contract said to be worth over 30 billion dollars to build 179 airborne tankers. Boeing (BA) has been on our Recommended List since May 2010 (up 13%) is classified under AeroSpace/Defense, a sector that should continue to do well in this Jupiter in Aries cycle (1/22/11-6/4/11). Other industries expected to do well in this cycle include: Basic Materials (coal, steel, precious metals, rare earth), Heavy Construction, .....................” Ted Phillips7 "Be cautious in the stock market this month. As Uranus enters Aries, the volatility is going to move up a notch. The market is now vulnerable to a sharp correction, but don't place any big bets in terms of direction until after March 11th. I expect a roller coaster ride."
Markus Rose7 “Our outlook is short for US and European stocks until the week of the spring equinox.”
Barry Rosen8 “Mas ter high toward June 1, 2011 is projecting 1390-1400 but there may be a fake-out spill into late March and April large enough to seem it will not come in. March cycles match the weakness we saw in May 2010. Have to see how things develop.” Tjerk Spriensma9 “The expectancy that the bottom will come around 7th March or around the weekend of 26/27th March still stands, preferring 26/27th March to 7th March. We can then see a number of months of rise towards August.”
9. http://www.ganntrader.org/cms/affiliate-redirect.php?affiliate_user_id=575 Conclusion, Market Timing Digest share prognosis Ma rch The general opinion is that share markets find themselves in rough territory during March and will make a correction within the positive trend. It means that long-term investors can remain long with a stop loss under the bottoms from November (1173 S&P, 325 AEX) and can add more to their portfolio in March or perhaps April if the decline holds. Aggressive short-term traders can consider going short during a corrective decline, which usually lasts at least 2 weeks. See what happens with the trend around the turning date zones, 8th March +/-3 trading days and 28th march +/- 2 trading days. S&P is bullish – as long as it remains in the (for months now!) trend canal! Chart from Gaby Mittelman who is enthusiastic about it http://www.astroworld.co.il/default.asp?iId=MEFHF

Astrology In March “Venus will change signs (ingress) from the conservative sign of Capricorn to the more progressive sign of Aquarius. Since Venus rules money and currencies, there could be a shift in policies affecting currency prices while Venus is in Aquarius, which lasts through March 27. This is further supported by the final Jupiter-Pluto waxing square of February 25 (pertaining to huge debt), and the ingress of Uranus into Aries, which begins March 11. Immediately after ingressing into Aries, Uranus will form a T-square to the natal Sun-Pluto opposition of the Federal Reserve Board chart (created December 23, 1913, 6:02 PM, Washington D.C. – source New York Times). Sudden changes of policies from this central bank may jolt currency markets too. What might they do? Or what sudden and unexpected world and economic developments might happen that causes the central banks to react? With Uranus, we never know. The motto for Uranus is to “expect the unexpected.”” Raymond Merriman in the Preview for the week at http://www.markettiming.nl/en/beurs-actueel/weekly-preview-financial-astrology-february-28-2011 2nd March Venus steps over to Aquarius The planet that motivates matters of value is more capable of starting something new in Aquarius than in Capricorn, where she came from. It could be a stimulus for the markets if the collective is more future and change orientated (Aquarius). 4th March New Moon in Pisces A new sow and grow phase starts in the sensitive water sign Pisces. Pisces is bound to sea and oil. 9th March Mercury goes to Aries The urge to trade and communicate leaves the sensitive water sign Pisces and steps to the fire sign Aries. Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and Wants. Everything. Now. Trade can go amazingly fast with Mercury in Aries, just as people born (or still to be born) with Mercury in Aries have a fast flashing intelligence – sometimes it goes so fast that one does not think about what to buy or sell, everything occurs in intuitive flashes. Traders and short-term investors: maintain stops on the market in case the pan catches fire and it accidentally does not go your way. 12th March Uranus goes to Aries Uranus in his 84-year circle of the Sun is now in Aries for the coming 7 years. To capture the energy and dynamics of Uranus in one line I will this time use mythology. Uranus is ruler of Aquarius, which is related in mythology to Prometheus, who stole the fire from the gods and gave it to the people. He could not accept that the people did not have the same abilities and insights as the gods. Every time that Uranus walks through the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, the last two centuries on earth coincide with a period wherein many new innovations take place. Inventions are made which result in throwing away or putting in a museum the techniques, ways and means used over the previous decade. Important inventions from the past during Uranus in Aries were: the wristwatch, the microscope, the pencil, the chronometer and the telephone. Concerning investments: basis astrology says that when an outside planet such as Uranus is in a fire sign, metal markets and precious metals do on average better. Note this in your memory; Uranus is for the coming 7 years in Aries. One of the most famous gold fevers took place in California during the 19th
century: see http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goudkoorts. The financial markets that are related to the sign in which Uranus walks, can reach unexpected heights and during the same 7 years can also loose it all in one swoop. During the years that Uranus was in Aquarius (1995-2002) the Internet bubble occurred. Worldly prizes were awarded for businesses in this sector; think of World Online in The Netherlands. Even before Uranus left Aquarius it was over. Markets crashed when it became clear that the trees in the ICT world did not actually grow all the way up to heaven. And the years that followed, from 2003-2010, Uranus went through Pisces. Pisces is the sign of oil. During the past years we have seen the highest price for oil ever noted, in the summer of 2008, nearly €150 per vat. It stayed with that and then oil plummeted to under €40. One vat of Brent oil devalued 75 percent during the second half of 2008. The financial astrologer Raymond Merriman foresaw the price explosion and the crash from 70-90%. Uranus in Aries can deliver explosions in the Aries sector: cars, sport, fighting and military issues. Aries is the sign for progress and energy, new energy. With Uranus in Aries new discoveries are possible concerning energy. 15th March Venus trine Saturn The money planet Venus is in harmonious contact with the structure forming Saturn (governments and banks). Even though a weak market aspect, Venus in Aquarius is generally positive, is focussed on new growth and now arrives in a friendlier atmosphere in Saturn. It is the classic ruler of Aquarius, ruling over the sign where she now resides. It could mean a push up for the markets. (And the development of new funding for various relationships and connections). 19th March Full Moon with Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo Both signs share the characteristic of being in service: one on the practical side (Virgo) and the other on the sensitive side (Pisces). This can be seen and carried out both as negative or positive. 21st March Sun goes to Aries The spring begins in the Northern hemisphere. The spring begins with Sun in Aries, which straight away is in conjunction with Uranus at nought degrees Aries. A week later Jupiter compliments his 20-year opposite (180 degrees) with Saturn (28th March) and Mercury will run retrograde (30th March-22nd April). 24-25 March Moon in Sagittarius
Markets behaviour may be heftier than normal with the Moon in Sagittarius. Is the tone positive, then this moon position can help the market higher. Is the negativity heavier than what Sagittarius can deal with his optimism, then this energy can be like oil on fire and selling sessions can be stimulated to “sell-offs” for sure. Generally Moon in Sagittarius has the most powerful effect as a strong upward movement on currency
"Human nature never changes and that is why prices swing from the one extreme level to the other. People get too hopeful and optimistic when prices are high. Then when prices reach
extreme low, they get too blue, too pessimistic and over-sell." W.D. Gann
27th March Firstly: Venus conjunct Neptune at 29.44 Aquarius Venus the “classic” announcer of money comes in the same degrees as Neptune, the great revealer or threat. Neptune also represents the fiat money system. Will the fiat money system be re-valued, will the fiat money system now be seen through different eyes, or will the last little bit of view (Neptune) on money disappear? (Classically belonging to Venus.) After that: Venus leaves Aquarius and ingresses Pisces Venus stands “higher” in Pisces, that is to say the psychological urge of Venus (values, bliss, relationships) comes out best in the sensitive sign Pisces. As indicator of money Venus in Pisces could coincide with uncertainty, threat or greater dilution (Pisces) of the value of money (Venus). Current money is more (or nearly only) a product of debt (Pluto) with its created/virtually printed (Neptune) and thus more Neptune/Pisces than Venus. (When money still had real value or rather so it seemed.) 28th March Two medium mild aspects, in combination with the aspects from 27th march and 30th march (perhaps also 3rd April), good for a developing shift in investor’s psychology, sometime around now. Sun square Pluto A struggle, “over or out” aspect. Here it concerns debt (Pluto), which leaders (Sun) run up against in a painful and unresolving way. Jupiter opposite Saturn According to the work of Manfred Zimmel from Austria, Jupiter-Saturn aspects influence the markets and within +/- 2 trading days result in a top or a dip. It can also occur within 2 to 3 weeks. 30th March Mercury turns retrograde When a planet turns retrograde, as now resulting in the urge to trade and communicate for +/- 3 weeks, it means that the one who symbolizes the psyche is due a period of rest and time to look back at the past. It is a time when the cycle is orientated on the past, good for the old and bad for the new. Planning on setting up new projects, making appointments or plans during Mercury retrograde? Then there is more change of failure, turning back or being totally wiped from the table than there is chance of success. Technical analysis, as well as working with others, concerning human thoughts or analytic matters is less trustworthy than normal. I have also experienced this to be true regarding financial astrology. Even though everything “is accurate”, based on all the precisely working checkpoints, the whole lot turns during or just after Mercury retrograde and the fantastically seen trade is a fiasco. What does work however is the carrying out of a transaction that has come into certain time and/or price range that you have been waiting for for some time. As Raymond Merriman says: Traders who do still want to trade are advised to take their profits sooner rather than later, movements generally last 1-4 days. Good time to have a break or go on holiday. 2nd April Mars leaves Pisces and goes to Aries Mars is ruler of Aries, the masculine force, god of war and is the most direct, blunt and active in his own sign where he…
3rd April Mars comes in conjunction with Uranus The spark in the barrel of dynamite. Now in Aries (the sign for action and struggle) are: Mars, god of war, Uranus, who bulldozes over and Jupiter the exaggerator. One thing can be said and that is that this will be a very busy and energetic April wherein masses (Uranus) have a great urge to let themselves be heard and push through to attain their wishes, which they have not been able to do for a long time or never before. 4th April Neptune steps over to her own sign, Pisces, for the first visit before truly residing there in 2012. The psychological urge for altruism, sympathy, letting go of the ego and floating along with the collective unconsciousness (thus really not knowing what you are doing) comes in her own sign Pisces. This planet takes 156 years to circle the sun and now comes again for the first time in her own part of the zodiac. This energy can make that spirituality will start to play a greater role in what is happening on earth. It can also correlate with great loss. Neptune loosens people from their ego together with its concepts of being man, by becoming more spiritual (an enormous wave of true spirituality can arise in the hearts and spirits of people) or by altering (Neptune) due to threats in life. In Financial astrology that indicates a greater need for water and possibly oil, or loss (Neptune). Within the coming 14 years the following is possible: the end of the oil era, water shortages and water disasters in various parts of the world, shortage of drinking water, epidemics, pandemedics, healing of diseases that until now were incurable, moving to a greater ability for the people to heal themselves – without medicine, with the power of their own mind. From the 5th of August Neptune returns to Aquarius only to move again to Pisces on the 3rd February 2012 and stay there until 2025 when she moves into Aries. Sun opposite Saturn The attention and/or leader (Sun) opposite the banks and the law (Saturn) in a struggle from the fourteenth degrees of Aries (Sun) and Libra (Saturn). What happens today can be a glimpse of what might happen in the following heavy astrological constellation occurring in 2014. Raymond Merriman calls it the Cardinal Climax 2. We will call it that from now on. The Cardinal Climax 2 arrives in April 2014 when a Great Square takes place between Uranus in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Cancer and Mars in Libra. This aspect affects the founding horoscope of the U.S, exactly the Sun-Saturn square in the horoscope. The Sun rules over the president, Saturn over the government. If it again is not possible to gain control over debt then that can be destructive for the structure of the U.S. government or the security of the president’s position. The great Square during April 2014 also affects Venus in the Dutch country’s horoscope. Venus symbolizes money and the general feeling of wellbeing. This lies open on the table for The Netherlands in April 2014. 6th March Sun conjunct Jupiter Great relief is possible; Jupiter is the planet of luck, which optimistically looks to the future. An opposite can be a stalemate between what the leader of the conscious wants and what one hopes it will be. Jupiter in opposition often indicates sunny insights with chances of disappointment afterwards. 9th March Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn This happens about once per year, when the planet far away from the Sun seems to run backwards. Today and the days before can be very intense without space for any grey; it is either black or white. Pluto is the planet of debt. Expect matters of debt to play up which result in a test for organisational structures such as governments, banks and laws.
Turning Data Looking back on turning data from last month Below is the chart from the S&P in February 2011. Turning dates were 8th February and 23rd February. If we look at turnings of 1% or more according to the so-called filtered waves in our Financial Astrology Research software (FAR) then we see that the 8th of February coincided with a top on the way up. The second MTD turning date 23rd February was one trading day after the three-day corrective decline in the S&P.
Above the S&P 500 February 2011 with the pink line indicating the 1% filtered waves, the blue line the 25-day Moving Average and below in the chart the 15-day Slow Stochastics. Turning data March 2011 The following dates come forth as having the greatest chance (within 2-3 trading days) of coinciding with the onset of a correction on the share markets. The more stars, the more powerful the effect can be on the ruling trend.
February 8* February 23 ***
Turning data is filtered from the data of possible trend reversals provided by the financial astrologers. They often form the heart of periods filled with astrological aspects that coincide with changes in the markets and ruling sentiment amongst investors.
GOLD – a window of opportunities “Gold is money. Everything else is credit.” The famous banker J.P. Morgan to American congress in 1912, the year the FED was set up.
Looking back and to the Future
Looking Back The Market Timing Digest summary for February was as follows: “The positive view for gold long-term is still fiercely standing. It is however getting quieter in the bullish camp for the month of February and this time we hear more analysts with a generally negative opinion. The most bearish opinions indicate decline until the end of this quarter with a possible second bottom in the summer of 2011.”
Above gold on day basis in February 2011. The month began with $1338 and closed with $1409.90. The price of gold remained rising during the whole month and the expectations for February did not correspond with what happened on the market.
Here is the chart from Chartoftheday from the Dow Jones expressed in gold, real money. Here it seems that an end (probably temporary) has come to the decline, the downward trend line has been broken since shares have doing well from summer 2010.
Analyst’s summaries for Gold March 2011 Dharmik Team: “The trend for GOLD is up from the point when it broke 1360. Look for 1500.” http://www.futureanalyzer.com/ GannTrader Jan van Gemeren “Yesterday gold reached a new all time high. This seems to open up the way for a new rising wave. Our target is then 1550.” http://www.ganntrader.org/cms/affiliate-redirect.php?affiliate_user_id=575&product_id=1 Raymond Merriman: “The low from 28th February looks like the 11.33-month low. We are now turning bullish and see all corrections as buy unless it comes under 1307, then we switch to bearish. As we said last month: “Should this market remain upward then it can go above 1400 and above 1500 within a period of a few months.””
Gaby Mittelman: In my August article I wrote: “ I found that the gold rhythm is a 173 days interval… Next stop will be in Jan 16, 2011- which will mark a top or a bottom" - Actually it did made a low! Next day to watch: July 8,11. Now it is trading at 1428. Only 2.8 points to pass over the last high, of Oct. 12, 2010.
http://www.astroworld.co.il/default.asp?iId=MEFHF Grace K. Morris is bullish about the gold sector. In her February astro economics newsletter (which helps to choose the best shares) she writes: “Jupiter went from Pisces to Aries (22/1/11). A few of the newly favourable sectors are beginning to take shoot. These include from 22/i to 4/6/11 amongst others basis materials, ……, ..., steel, precious metals, …, …, rare earth."
Ted Phillips: "Gold broke through the 1350 resistance level in February, thus changing my neutral to bearish view. Gold is testing previous highs around the critical 1440 planetary resistance level. This looks like a good short if this level holds. It is important for gold to break down below 1395 planetary support, if it is going to make another correction to lower levels again. If it continues to run, the maximum time frame for a top to complete is on March 11th. In any case, watch this key date for another top or bottom to unfold."
http://www.astroadvisor.com/ Barry Rosen: “It looks like 1471 has a small chance of coming in by March 4 and at the latest two weeks later but we are sceptical. At some point into the end of March into April we are looking for 1280 or 1240 and 1207 eventually on the weekly chart but not sure how high it will go before that. Those kinds of numbers may be targets for late March. If our latest guess on stocks and the dollar is correct, there may be one more rally on metals into the first week of March. Those waiting for 1600 will have to wait for a lot of consolidation before the breakout into 2012.” (Fortucast was named the Number 1 timer for gold 2010 into Jan.31, 2011 in the latest issue of Timer Digest.)
http://www.fortucast.com
Tjerk Spriensma: “...if the picture is again accurate then we will move further upward towards the MTD7 around 1st April.” http://www.ganntrader.org/intl_cms/affiliate-redirect.php?affiliate_user_id=72&product_id=2
Conclusion, Market Timing Digest Gold prognosis Mar ch: The majority of analysts agree, with the exception of one who sees decline in March and another who expects a trend turnaround on the 11th March, that gold will remain rising in March.
The game of real money Are all the players being honest? Despite the fact that China is currently the greatest gold producer (see informative world chart gold mines at http://www.usfunds.com/interactive/global-gold-mining-production/?CFID=967406&CFTOKEN=24025647) the demand for gold from Asia has now multiplied five fold and the demand for silver has multiplied four fold. It looks like a tsunami. The government in Egypt has now banned gold export. The Chinese central bank is now advising citizens to purchase physical gold and silver via the ICBC Gold Accumulation Plan. Countries like Japan and Switzerland are also stimulating saving gold. In The Netherlands it is being heavily discouraged. The DNB is going through the courts to get the pension funds that invest in gold to sell, as one states: “it is a risky investment”. You could laugh yourself silly if it wasn’t so terribly sad. The weblog www.thesilvermountain.nl concludes:
1. The Dutch bank is lying. They should know these facts. The courts are deliberately receiving wrong information.
2. There is talk of judicial error. And in the meantime citizens in other, smarter, more powerful countries are buying up the last glitterings on the planet.

Richard Russell: Gold is the Safest Currency Richard Russell, the man behind Dow Theory Letters talks about the depreciation of the dollar and why he feels safe holding gold at the Casey Research Gold and Resource Summit. What in the 70s-80s was driving the gold market was the fear of inflation. Today it’s the fear of the collapse of the dollar. Richard Russell has been writing since 1958 the Dow Theory Letters and has thousands of followers all over the world. In the film he talks about the role of gold, the dollar, the United States and China. The rise in gold is now different than in 1980 when it concerned inflation, resistance against weak currencies such as the dollar and the euro.
Oil:" I wrote last month (July 2010): "Neptune – Chiron conjunction could bring a remedy to the Ocean and its inhabitants." BP solved or said that they have solved the problem… and in a mysterious way the oil disappeared. Nobody knows where the spilt oil is. Chiron will stay close to Neptune at least till Feb 2011, so I hope they will fix what they have not told us. If the oil goes above previous high, 88.40, it will rocket to 126." Oil trades now at 100$. 101.65 is 61.8% Fibonacci. The MACD in the weekly chart is very weak. Running above this level, will reach my July 2010 target: 126. 60 min graph: support at 96.5, target: 100 -103.3”

Currency: Euro/Dollar Looking back and to the Future Looking back Below the chart from €/$ in 2011, with the month of February sectioned off. The month was hobbled, opened with a rate of 1.3691 and closed with 1.3804.
Market Timing Digest’s summary for February was: “Even though divided, the weighing scales indicate further rise of euro/dollar in February.” This was wonderfully on target. Thanks and congratulations to: Dharmik Team, http://www.futureanalyzer.com/ Raymond Merriman , http://www.markettiming.nl/nl/producten/weekly-all-markets Ted Phillips, http://www.astroadvisor.com/ Richard Schulz, http://www.schulzonmarketcycles.com/index.html Tjerk Spriensma. http://www.ganntrader.org/intl_cms/affiliate-redirect.php?affiliate_user_id=72&product_id=2
Analyst’s summaries for euro/dollar in March: There are more votes for a decline of the euro and rise for the dollar than the other way around: Dharmik team: Current trend for EURUSD should maintain during March. We can see 1.4 and 1.42 touched.
http://www.futureanalyzer.com/ GannTrader Jan van Gemeren sees $ moving sideward to up. http://www.ganntrader.org/cms/affiliateredirect.php?affiliate_user_id=575&product_id=1 Raymond Merriman: “As long as the euro remains above 1.3100 and the Swiss Frank above 1.0220, the primary trend remains upward. Currency traders have to be on the sharp lookout around 17th-22nd March as the FED will reveal shocking news for interest and currency.”
Gaby Mittelman: “In October I said it is "heading towards 1.42" On November 4, 2010 it made a high at 1.4280 and fell.... Now there is a firm resistance at 1.41. My target is at about 1.32. Looking at the weekly chart, there was a support at 1.288 in January. Next major turn to be expected on July 7,17 and September 17,11.” See http://www.astroworld.co.il/userfiles/yen%20$.GIF for a view of $/yen. Ted Phillips: "Key planetary support is now at 1.3680 for the Eur/Usd in March. If this level holds, continue to stay oriented on the long side. A break down below 1.3680, and a greater correction is underway." http://www.astroadvisor.com/ Barry Rosen: “This market is in trouble and could easily reach 125 by late April.” www.fortucast.com Richard Schulz:

Tjerk Spriensma: “The Euro-Dollar is doing well, the price has run up and we can now turn again and move sidewards.” http://www.ganntrader.org/intl_cms/affiliateredirect.php?affiliate_user_id=72&product_id=2 Conclusion, Market Timing Digest euro/dollar progno sis March There are more votes for a decline of the euro and rise for the dollar than the other way around. Since the accumulating of the opinions of the analysts €/$ has risen nearly 1.40 due to the ECB announcement of future interest increases. Four analysts are already bearish and astrologically seen a policy change from the FED cannot be ruled out. We consequently presume that the rise in €/$ during March will stop; will not be able to come above the resistance of 1.41-1.42 and then decline.
Background matters in the spotlights On the question which currency is the safest? Richard Russell from Casey Research, he has written the Dow Theory Letters since 1958, thinks that the next world currency will be the Chinese renminbi.

Official institution charts on http://blacklistednews.com/6-Charts-Which-Prove-That-Central-Banks-All-Over-The-Globe-Are-Recklessly-Printing-Money-/12762/0/13/13/Y/M.html Where is it going? Drawing from http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/03/when-will-fed-announce-more-qe-money.html (below) indicates where the US currently finds itself and where it is going to.
Model portfolio Some time ago a report came out about Japan making the discovery of producing a metal that had the same qualities as the industrial palladium. This metal is currently not greatly available; it is still more expensive than palladium itself. We keep palladium on in our portfolio and are still interested in buying during dips. We think that the fund North American Palladium will test and override its old top of $12.84 in 2011-2012. In fact it is now again above the 25-day Moving Average since the last bottom on 24th February. The slow stochastics are not yet on a buying signal but closed positive yesterday and I can guess that aggressive investors are already buying for the next ride up which could override the last double top of 7.99 and 7.93. Conservative investors wait till this share has broken resistance and place a stop under the last bottom, or under the lowest rate of 2011, $6.19 from 10th January. One can also choose (or spread) the ETF Physical Palladium Shares, code PALL that also looks good as investment.
Chart from North American Palladium (PAL) from 2011 until and including 2nd March. The line indicates the 25-day MA that is now at 7.15 and rising a little per day. As long as it stays above that the trend remains upward.
All S&P Metals & Mining (ASX:MAM) Investment fund in gold and silver mines.
Today new in the portfolio:
1). Century Aluminium Co. (CENX) bought for $16.27. The aeroplane industry is growing, profits are increasing in the car industry and aluminium is a metal that until June 2011 is growing strongly. There has been an increasing line since 2010. Resistance lies at the old top of $17.83. Defensive investors might possibly want to wait till this hurdle has been taken. Our stop loss lies on the $14.02 support, the low from January, when gold also formed an important low.
2.) iPath Dow Jones UBS Livestock T (NYSEArca: COW ) bought for $31,30. With this share we are ‘betting’ for a further rise in the price of meat. With Jupiter, and soon from 12th March also Uranus in Aries, a new ‘yang’ time starts wherein this sector will rise. The last low bottom was 1st November 2010, way below the 25-day MA and now +/- 4 months later the chart strongly resembles it. We still have no confirmation of the rise, as long as the rate does not go above the 25 day MA (now at 31.66). More conservative investors wait until it has closed at least two days above that. Below the chart from July 2010. Notice the slow stochastics below in the chart that were at bottom level at the beginning of November with rates under the 25-day MA and now again. As long as it is not above the 25-day MA, it can continue to fall further than the last low of 2nd March, $30.67. Our stop lies at $28.40, the bottom from 1st November just passed.
3.) Back in the portfolio: sugar, by way of iPath Dow Jones-AIG Sugar Total Return Sub-Index ETN (SGG) and the Cosan sugar share with code CZZ. The rise in sugar has not yet finished and can continue as long as Saturn is still in Libra. The peak was above $100 beginning of February. It fell to $87.27 on 23rd February, exactly on the MTD turning date and has risen ever since. Today Friday 4th March we purchased SGG around $94-$95 with a stop loss under $87.27 and CZZ just above $14 with a stop loss under $12. In the February issue we indicated keeping an eye on CZZ for eventual purchase. Sugar hit the news as J.P. Morgan bought a lot of sugar, probably for a good customer, as stated on Business News Network. In the video of 1.45 minutes SGG is mentioned as investment. The video:
