Solar Cycles Project Unstable Period in 2020 – 2025.

Outlook 2019/2020

The ~11-Year Cycle – Part II

09-30-19 – Late-Aug./early-Sept. ’19 ushered in a transition phase on so many levels, its significance should not be underestimated…

Grain markets sold off into early-Sept., setting secondary lows while completing ‘b’ or ‘2’ wave pullbacks.  That was/is expected to spur a new multi-month rally, with Soybeans projecting rallies that could easily reach new year-long highs.  (Soybeans & Corn generated intermediate buy signals in mid-to-late-Sept., validating this analysis and projecting new surges into Oct. ‘19; see Weekly Re-Lay.)…

There is another overriding cycle that could also be playing a role, even though it is considered more general and abstract.  It does, however, govern the explosive nature of the Sun which does have a measurable impact on Earth…

11-Year Cycle

The Sun goes through an approximate 11-Year Cycle (11.2 years is the most recent average) that envelopes its activity peaks to troughs and back to peaks again.  So, the lowest levels of solar activity (solar storms/sunspots and the resulting electromagnetic storms that are often hurled toward Earth) are divided by about 11 years and the most active phases are also divided by about 11 years.

In a strong parallel to Earth’s 17-Year Cycle – and its overlapping and more consistent 34-Year Cycle – the Sun possesses a 22-Year Cycle that is able to filter out some of the ‘white noise’ and demonstrate a stronger correlation between sunspot peaks or troughs and coinciding events.

It is that 22-Year Solar Polar Cycle that is a more precise or consistent cycle, partially due to how the Sun’s magnetic oscillations evolve.  During each ~11-Year Cycle, the Sun alternates the polarity of its sunspots – basically from northern-oriented to southern-oriented… and then back again.

So, it takes a full ~22-Year Cycle to return to a similar phase (with similar polarity) as its predecessor… Previously, I made reference to another moderate link that now deserves some added attention and reiteration…

The reason I refer to it as a ’moderate link’ is due to the small number of data points involved.  However, it has maintained a 100% correlation – with those data points – so it should not be ignored.  The data points all involve the time when the Sun is exiting its lowest point of solar activity – when few or no sunspots are detected for many months – and then begins to enter its next Solar Cycle with an intensification of these solar storms.  Like so many cycle transitions, this shift is often when the most abrupt reactions are witnessed in our world.

As is always important with analysis like this, I view it from an imprecise-enough perspective to be realistic.  In other words, I am not foolish enough to expect related events to occur every ~11.2 or ~22.5 years on the dot.  Instead, I view this cycle as an approximate 2-year period when the trough and subsequent surge in solar storms occurs.

With that said, see if you notice anything similar to the following time frames – each of which represent the same start of a new Solar Cycle – when a sudden burst of solar storms begins after a prolonged dormant period:

1867 – 1869, 1974 – 1976 & 1996 – 1998

Now add in 2019 – 2021, the expected transition into Solar Cycle 25.  If you haven’t noticed the common thread [reserved for subscribers]…

Late-2019 times momentous cycles… 11 years from the start of a previous price-inflationary period from late-2008/early-2009 into 2011/2012…. it is the time when the Sun could finally come back to life!  Could we see some fireworks (begin) in 4Q ’19?…


Solar Cycle 25 could begin at any time and is forecast to be much stronger than what the experts are saying.  Since the mid-2010’s, INSIIDE Track has detailed why 2021 – 2025 should be an unstable time in the markets, in geopolitical turmoil (War Cycles return in late-2021 – late-2025), and geophysical instability (earthquake cycles rising throughout this period and coinciding with volcanic cycles colliding in 2022 – ’24).  The 2020’s could be a very unstable time.
