Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from a massacre in ancient Persia.
This year it falls on March 2 to 3 near the 17th anniversary of the March 6, 2009 bear market low.
The 17 year cycle is important.
From the 1932 low 17 years is the start of a new secular bull market in 1949.
Another 17 years is 1966.
That is important because the Gann Master 60 Year Cycle from 1949 was the 2009 low.
And we are also 17 years from the 2009 low just as there was an important top in FEBRUARY 1966,
17 years from the major 1949 low.
This is one of the factor related to the report we wrote recently simply called February 2026.
Next month’s 17 year anniversary will witness a Blood Moon eclipse during Purim.
There was also a Blood Moon eclipse during Purim in 2025 and there was also a Blood Moon eclipse during Purim in 2024.
What are the odds of having a Blood Moon eclipse during Purim for three consecutive years/
The odds have got to be exceedingly low. But what makes all of this even more intriguing is the fact that all of the Blood Moon eclipses during Purim have fallen within the time when the Middle East War has been raging. The war began when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, 2023.
Amazingly, the festival of Purim was actually first instituted in Iranian territory. Needless to say, Iran was known as Persia in ancient times.
Now we are witnessing another historic conflict that involves Israel and Iran, and next month there will be a Blood Moon eclipse during Purim for the third year in a row.
Blood moons are often associated with war and next month there will be a Blood Moon eclipse at the exact time of the only Biblical festival that was birthed out of an armed conflict.
Of course at this moment we are literally on the brink of a war with Iran which Iran promises will be apocalyptic if they are struck.
Is this all coincidence given the start of the Middle East war three years ago with events there building up to a grand crescendo.
A God that is able to tells us the end from the beginning can easily arrange for there to be three Blood Moon eclipses on the symbolic Purim for three consecutive years as a Middle East War is ongoing.
In Biblical terms, a red moon or blood moon refers to a lunar eclipse symbolizing a significant, often ominous, prophetic event.
I bring this up because many stock market crashes have occurred in the proximity of a lunar eclipse close to a solar eclipse.
There seems to be a connection with them being the triggering device that elicits the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia.
What are the odds that eight of the greatest market crashes in history would accidentally fall within a time period of 6 days before to 3 days after a full moon that occurred within 6 weeks of a solar eclipse?
The answer is that for all eight crashes to accidentally fall within the required interval are astronomical.
From the Tulip Mania in 1637 through the Tokyo Crash in 1990, market crashes tend to be lumped near the full moons that are also lunar eclipses.
In the last week the turn from green to paranoia has played out in software stocks—
Despite Jensen Huang of NVDA saying it is completely illogical to think that AI will eat software’s lunch.
We also have seen silver and gold get shaken.
The qualifier is that you have to have a fragile market. In that condition, a crash is more likely to occur.
In addition to software names that look like they are trying to put in a bottom yesterday, (NOW, TEAM and CRM to mention a few) we have seen crashes in big name stocks like AMD and PLTR…both diving after earnings.
PLTR spiked higher on a beat and them imploded.
Many say expectations were too high on AMD which gapped down after reporting.
In sum, the tension is on the tape.
The Q’s triggered a Rule of 4 sell yesterday following a false breakout to a Nicola Tesla high of 636 on January 28th.
Remember last week we showed the synchronicity of the 1929 and 1987 crashes to the end of January.
