New in Forecast 2027: research on Chiron in Taurus.

Yes, thanks.
Problem with metals is that forecast had to be made by deadline of November, just before that last surge up began into January. We got the timing right of a sizable decline from a top due within five months of Feb 2026 (top was Jan 29), but at the time of the deadline there was a chance the high might already have been in. If not, Gold could hit the high given, which it did, but Silver went way above, which distorted our price calculations in effect at the time.
Still, the book was quite on target in so many other areas and markets it covered for one year ahead.
What goes into the 2027 outlook? MMA analyst Pouyan previews the historical cycles and geocosmic factors he examines in Forecast 2027.

The forecasts. The results. The conversation behind them.
I sat down with Alie, Wyatt, and Pouyan to revisit Forecast 2026 and share what’s taking shape for 2027. A candid look at our research and the people behind it.

Forecasting is about potentials, not certainties. MMA analyst Pouyan discusses uncertainty and comparing research techniques when developing an outlook.

Reminder. With Venus retrograde and Mercury about to join it thru Nov 13, don’t expect markets to react rationally. Do t expect leaders to react rationally. Don’t expect buy and sell triggers to work out as they might normally do. Instead expect chaos and a slew of false technical and chart pattern set ups as well as misleading or miscalculated posts by tweeters and leaders. Good time to be a skeptic.
Not the best climate for market analysis short term, although there are cases of real breakouts that have happened into the middle of Mercury retro (Nov 3). Just not too many.
Our motto is to take profits too soon if entering a trading position and not wait it out too long - maybe 1-4 days. And avoid getting trapped in complex hedges that can cause confusion and double losses if initiated into a losing trade.
Not a bad time to lie low thru Nov 13, and not raise your flag publicly.
Stats show 35% historical frequency of sharp sell of with Sun- Moon in air/air. A time to be on alert for it. Didn’t happen this time (65% frequency carried). We did record an isolated low however today, which is not a big sell off, but a modest one nonetheless.
@mmacycles Ray, i have a question about Silver, you write in your weekly that we could see a sharp sell off in silver in this time zone
but actually we goes up, hmm?

Yes of course. Late 2027 looks like a very important time. Could be the end of a bear market if the high just formed. If not, it could even be a high that late. Too early to tell other than geocosmics point to a possible long term reversal then too.
Both a long term 18-year cycle crest and trough are due by end of this decade, in that order. Every primary cycle crest (18-week cycle on avg) in 2026-27 is now a candidate for the long-term cycle top in the DJIA (not necessarily in the NASDAQ, which has a different cycle.
Yep. Turning out so far. This week is important, especially if we see a gap down below last week’s low any time this week.
I received an interesting question today from a subscriber of the MMZ Daily Options report that I’d like to share with our followers on X.
“HI Ray, Just wanted to get your thoughts on the Oct-Nov period and Feb-March 2027 period. The gecosmics look very bearish during hose times. Do you see a stck mkt crash in any of those windows ? Thanks in advance.”
I find this interesting for many reasons, First, the 18 year cycle is now in its 17th year. So it’s old and a top is due, but exactly when is the question.
Second, since the low of March 9, 2009, the DJIA has appreciated 750%. The record appreciation from 18-year low to high has been 783.5%, so we are already in the second strongest bull market in history and nearing that record.
Third, the last rally to the previous 18-year cycle high of Oct 12, 2007, was in the 8th week of that last primary cycle. In the NAZ, it was 11 weeks.
If measured from the low of the current primary cycle, 8-11 weeks from now would be Sept 21- Oct 19, which finds Venus retrograde on Oct 3, an Astro signature that correlates with 50-week cycles in about 50% of cases, which is high.
So, in answer to your question of a possible crash this Oct-Nov, I would say a crash or top of importance followed by a steep decline is very possible Sep-Nov. it’s also also the mid-term election period when emotional intensity will be at a high.
You never know which primary cycle high will be the final one until it breaks hard. But this period has my attention as a strong possibility.
How does 2027 set the stage for 2028? In Forecast 2027, I explore the longer-term cycles connecting these two years.
Here’s a preview.

We will see if it works out, but the pattern of the rally of S&P and Nasdaq to new all-time highs Oct 6 in middle of primary cycle while DJIA topped out Aug 6 early in primary cycle, fits the pattern of previous 18-year cycle crests like the last one in Oct 2007 before the decline that lasted into March 2009, over 50% lower.
Also similar was the prior 18-year cycle crest in Aug 1987 followed by 40% decline 2 months later into Oct 19, 1987 as Crypto Damus pointed out.
Each crest was also 6-7 years into the Jupiter-Saturn cycle.
It will take more downside to confirm, but the setup is familiar and hard to spot with otherwise bullish technical and chart pattern signals at the time.
Knowing the history of Venus retrograde didn’t hurt either, as those highs on Oct 6 were just two trading days after she turned.

Update on Gold and Silver. They are now testing their yearly lows of late June, early July. If one breaks to a new low in this Venus retrograde period and the other does not, it is a trigger for a reversal that could be of interest to bottom pickers. It will take time to confirm a long-term low is happening, but this is a start.
Venus will remain retrograde thru Nov 13 Mercury joins it Oct 25. Be careful because both in retrograde are notorious for fake outs. Would be an easier call if this was happening in mid-Nov.
It’s never happened that Saturn and Neptune have conjunct at zero Aries, which was also the midpoint of Uranus and Pluto. Never, at least as far back as my computer’s software data goes.
Ray, just read your 2027 Chapter One. I don't understand how this Aeries Vortex planet alignments have never happened before since the planets have been circling around the same, practically forever. Could you elaborate please.

Interesting how the Venus retrograde of Saturday, October 3, coincided with all-time high on the NASDAQ and S&P on Tuesday Oct 6, and a half or full primary cycle low on the DJIA of October 1, both within two trading days of the station.
Once again this shows the principle of our geocosmic CRDs as reversal signals- the culmination of cycles. These signatures do not foretell a high or low ahead of time, but rather a change of direction from either a cycle high or low, depending on which is forming.
The reversals also illustrate the importance of intermarket divergence that occur in both a CRD and a time band for a cycle high or low. On the DJIA low, neither S&P nor NASDAQ made a cycle low for a case of bullish divergence in the DJIA. But on the all-time highs of both S&P and NASDAQ, the DJIA did not conform, for a case of intermarket bearish divergence to those two indices.
Classic case of tradable reversal signals in time band for cycle culminations combined with geocosmic and chart pattern signals.
