The connection between the 1929 crash and the 1987 perfectly timed by the spiral calendar.

He found that this time series which is the square root of fibonacci moons not only timed market turns but also timed geopolitical events. His book Spiral Calendar is full of mostly market examples so if you’re not into timing markets, might not be something you would want to curl up with.
It timed Trumps Tariff Tandrum in the market in 2025 back to a past panic in 1800’s. Distances between certain wars. Some of the information is on his website.
I ran the spiral calendar from day 1 of Trumps invasion into Iran.
I’ve not updated the chart but the June 14th spiral calendar was PERFECT hit. The first spiral calendar timed the bottom of the new bull and all but one timed a Trump tweet that either escalated or de-escalated the Iran war and moved the market.

May,2027 arrives a spiral calendar hit to The Siege of Yorktown, Sep 28 – Oct 19, 1781. Siege of Yorktown, was the decisive land engagement of the Revolutionary War. This will be 246 years since the battle. An important number.
