Feb 16th was the last lunar eclipse off a new moon, it was basically a non event that continued that volatile sideways market of Jan-March99 around 9200 Dow and set the stage for today's highs.

I don't trade these lunar or solar patterns independently,...but use them as signal posts for possible indicators and pivots for major changes in trend


I agree that the feb eclipse had a negligible impact on the equity market, I think that we saw more volatility in the currency markets.

and you are so right that the lunar and solar patterns are one small variable to factor into a trading outlook or decision.

I am a bear so take this with a grain(cup) of salt. A decent gap down tomorrow morning will make a nice island reversal of the last three days of trading. If it manifests just see it as 3 days of people who went long at the top and who are all losing money. (Two days before the uncertainty of Alan Greenspan talking) This abandoned baby pattern should be good as a top for at least a couple of weeks if it manifests.

Bears have dreams too.

Chip,

But there seems very little published work (with hard data) to substantiate
these Lunar and Solar events over a long period of market history as reliable trading
patterns.


Take a look at the work of Steve Moore, Moore Research.
He has some very good documentation in regards to futures trading of the grain markets and solar activity.

regards
peter
