Sept. ’17 – Sept. ’18 = ‘Bullish’ Period.
Oil Surge into 1Q ’18 Would Corroborate.

11/30/17 INSIIDE Track:  Outlook 2018 – 2019

Reactive Phase

“2017 was projected to be the transition year – linked to 10-Year, 17-Year, 40-Year, 70-Year, 80-Year & even 120-Year Cycles – when a myriad of competing cycles would be shifting from one direction to another.

One of the most noteworthy (and often discussed) cycle is the 40-Year Cycle of Currency Wars – timing major conflicts & shifts in the never-ending battle for control of the currency.  Until the 1970’s (latest phase of 40-Year Cycle), that battle raged between fiat (debt-backed paper) & hard (gold/silver-backed) currency.  The 1970’s, like every other phase, witnessed initial events in the ‘3’ – ‘6’/‘7’ year (1973 – 1976/’77) and reactionary events in the ‘7’ through the ‘1’ year of the ensuing decade (1977 – 1981)…

A Burdensome Stone

For over a decade, I have described a unique convergence of cycles related to the Middle East, to Israel & to Jerusalem that were expected to time a seismic shift beginning in Sept. 2017 – Sept. 2018, the Jewish Year of 5778.  The Jan. 2017 INSIIDE Track revisited this topic and also quoted from the June 2014 INSIIDE Track.

And that hearkened back to Kingdom of Jerusalem Cycles in 2010/2011 (discussed in 2005 – 2010 & forecast to trigger a 7-Year Cycle into 2017/2018) & similar analysis discussed the past 15+ years.  Now let’s connect a few dots…

2017 began with the unprecedented abstention of the US’ UN diplomat during an anti-Israel Security Council vote.  The knowledge of that impending abstention prompted Trump advisors (Jared Kushner?) to instruct Michael Flynn to contact the Russians for help in thwarting this resolution.  Michael Flynn lied about this to VP Pence and to the FBI, setting up the indictment & plea agreement reached this week.

Meanwhile, Kushner is rushing to forge an agreement with the Saudis – in hopes of securing a landmark peace agreement, as President Trump prepares to declare Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel & spur movement of the US Embassy in 2018…

How will the Middle East respond if Trump declares Jerusalem as Israel’s capital?  Could cycles really be that precise… and anticipate events years in advance?  Watch DUPE Cycles (Dec. 8 Unification Cycles) for corroboration…

Crude Oil, Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil remain strong as they fulfill the 3 – 6 month & 1 – 2 year outlooks that called for a lengthy bottoming process (following the 1Q 2016 cycle low) before a new bull market began to take hold in 3Q 2017.”


The Energy Complex turned decidedly bullish in Sept./Oct. 2017 and is expected to remain that way, on balance, into Sept./Oct. 2018.  The 3 – 6 outlook remains bullish into January 2018, strengthened & validated by mid-year buy signals in Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil.  This could be hinting that the first half of Winter is challenging… while also leaving open the potential for Middle East events at some time near the Date of Unifying Plans & Events (D.U.P.E.) on Dec. 8, 2017.
