The Final Days Or Happy Halloween?

Tomorrow is slated to be the 'End of the World'....again....according to infamous Apocalypse prognosticator Harold Camping:





Meanwhile, we are on the verge of the potential "dark days" of October when the 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes occurred according to mass mood seasonality as I've been pointing out since August. The 27th and 28th days of the lunar month, which are equivalent to Tishrei 25-26 on the Hebrew calendar, will fall on October 23rd and 24th this year, i.e., this coming Sunday and Monday. Add this to the fact that the Dow Jones Composite continues to struggle at the psychologically important 4000 mark, and one can not discount the possibility of a sudden immense crash, possibly precipitated by an historical crisis of some sort.

Finally, let's not forget that popular culture is most likely mistaken in its notion that December 21, 2012 marks the end of the Mayan calendar. According to some experts, the calendar actually ends October 28th of this year, i.e., in a week's time:



Praying that the coming week passes without incident and the only mass scares are those which we do to ourselves for entertainment on what will hopefully be a happy Halloween...

Edge Of A Cliff?

There's an interesting video Robert Prechter forwarded to my attention called "Edge Of A Cliff" that forecasts a major reversal in mass mood at the end of May:



This was followed by another video indicating the East Asia, e.g., Korea, would be the source of some sort of international crisis:



Whatever the source of any coming "historical shock" (I'm wondering if an Israeli strike on Iran is imminent), I believe this fledgling MoodCompass organization may be on to something.

As I have been highlighting, this month there's been a major planetary alignment that will be capped by a solar eclipse on June 1st. I've long maintained that key historical turning points correlate with significant planetary alignments after which eclipses may act as "triggers":












Meanwhile, as overviewed in the epilogue to my Thesis, we should be nearing a reversal into what I've dubbed the "Apocalypse Wave" in mass mood:



In this context, one should note how the DJIA is on the verge of breaking below the lower trendline that has acted as support in stock prices since the March 2009 low:



Should such a breakdown occur decisively, then this could very well be associated with going over the cliff into the Apocalypse Wave of man's insanity.

A Telltale Chart?

In his interview with Bloomberg (3:30 minutes in) yesterday, Robert Prechter mentioned that the stock market was correcting in a pattern comparable to right before the October 1987 stock market crash. Curious about this, I've created a chart that shows the parallel:



Here's the complete crash pattern in 1987:



The timescales are different, but as market analogies go, if this pattern holds true then the stock market is within days or weeks of an '87-style stock market crash. (That this may be the case is also suggested by a "Hindenburg Omen" which just occurred.)
