During my recent “working vacation” on which I wrote the manuscript for the 2026 Almanac, BitCoin reached just over $128,500 per coin. But the hype quickly faded as $BTC started to slide.
As to why the sudden turn of fortune, one need only look at the 58.65-day axial spin cycle of planet Mercury. Whole number multiples of this spin cycle help define the dominant cycles that the Periodogram algorithm reveals in the daily price chart data. The end of one of these cycles landed precisely on the October 6 price swing high.
As the 2026 Almanac will explain, our solar system is a big resonance machine. Each of the planets has a defined orbital period around the Sun and each planet has a defined axial spin time. Disrupt any of these times and the whole system will fall apart. Embrace the resonance and calculate cycles accordingly and one starts to unlock some secrets of the Universe.
In the late 1930s, George Bayer understood this resonance when he published his trading Rules. For example, one of his Rules says to note the heliocentric degree position of Mars at a significant price swing point. Convert this degree point to Right Ascension units and then add 1.625 hours before converting back to heliocentric degrees. One must then focus on when Mars will reach the calculated degree point.
In the case of $BTC, Bayer’s method points to right here and now for a price reaction. From a heliocentric planetary view, Earth and Mercury are passing 0-degrees conjunct which in terms of classical geocentric astrology is a Mercury Retrograde event. And as we all know, price action can get wildly volatile at retrogrades. A Bayer 10-A key date colliding with a Mercury 0-degree Earth aspect could be explosive! Bayer’s method also points to around Dec 10 for another price reaction. Earth, Saturn, and Venus are making some aspects at this date which could add fuel to the fire.
Enjoy the following video. I trust it will give you fresh insight into how to identify coming market inflection points.
