Back in March or April EWI posted these charts proposing a 2020 top of super-cycle wave 3 and the end of wave 5…that 2020 would commence the beginning of super-cycle wave 4 (down). The previous correcting super cycle wave (wave 2) ended with the revolutionary war. Nothing like a little war to blow off some steam (I’m looking at you, China).

EWI proposed a Phi to the 4th power (of wave 1) top of Dow around 28,2xx peaking in 2020. But what if it peaks at Phi to the 8th power?

One of Parabolic Chuck’s favorite charts is from Sir Schism and it is below. Chuck and I were chatting about a WHAT IF scenario. What if wave 5 has a BLOW OFF top and instead of Phi to the 4th power, it squared to Phi to the 8th power. So I did a little math and it came to Dow 46,255 (+ or – 1%). Next I updated and overlaid the 1995-2000 rally on Schism’s chart and if the stock mark rallies until the end of Trump presidency – look where it hits – right around Dow 46K+. This would also include the current correction stopping above the previous DOW peaks bottoming in the Dow 18K-23K range by December then taking off to Dow 46K – doubling over the next 4 years. To help this scenario manifest there is a (public) rumor QE4 will begin in December 2019.

 

How crazy can it get? I squared Phi again, Phi to the 16th power and ran the numbers which lead to Dow at 12,xxx,xxx. Yes Dow 12 Million. Sounds impossible, right? but it’s happened before:

If all currencies end up dying and the USD isn’t replaced by a gold-backed dollar before hyper-inflation sets in then we’re potentially looking at Dow 12M as a super cycle wave 5 peak. Gold won’t have any price, nobody would sell if they did what would it be? 1 Billion/ounce?? I doubt this scenario occurs as there are plans to move the USD and global currencies to gold backed currencies. In this new economy balancing imports and exports is key, this is why Trump is trying to rebuild the US manufacturing base.

However if QE4 begins there will be QE to infinity to maintain or liquidity will dry up and then the crash. If QE to infinity then what will be the price of gold?
