Lunar Effect

Planetary Influences on the Markets

For some time, there have been correlations drawn between planetary alignments and the stock markets movements. Specifically, the new and full moons each month have some influence in marking trend reversals in the markets. This is exaggerated even more when the new or full moon occurs in proximity to an eclipse of the moon or sun.

Why?

The explanation is somewhat intuitive. As the planets and moon affect the rise and fall of the oceans tides, they can affect the rise and fall of the markets' tides. Those tides are seen in the movements of the crowd, measuring sentiment/emotion, and manifested in price peaks or troughs.

When in effect, the lunar influence will peak a strong rally, or bottom a strong decline within a trading day of the lunar event.
