Full Moon Spando Thrust ???

Here is a screenshot of the s&p eminis (ES 60 minute) annotated with a spattering of lunar points of interest, projected tidal turns and even some quick and dirty trend lines. I guess the more technical folks might call the smaller trend envelope a running correction or a consolidation pattern.....but what of the larger envelope? Is it possible that we are inside of a larger degree spando (courtesy of Don Wolanchuk) of some sort? Now, let it be known that although I do own a technical background, I am by no means a master of technical analysis, not even close. I know there are rules and regulations and proper techniques in the world of market technical analysis....far beyond the scope of this blog...but, I'm just thinking out loud here and considering.

I've also "projected" a couple of weeks ahead here.....with options expiration coming up shortly, it should be interesting to see how this resolves. Others are of the opinion that we should see a high coming into September 18th, which coincidentally corresponds to both a new moon and options expirations. My tide data suggests otherwise, but I could be fairly easily convinced that a run up right past the 9-11 date does occur and we end closing even higher on the 18th, especially the way this market feels right now....we shall sea...:)

Just a note about future interpretation of data. My goal will generally be to project turning points and trends based upon my raw data. In my opinion, there is something meaningful and a direct correlation between the tides and the markets. However, there are times when that correlation seems to go down the tubes so to speak. Nothing's perfect....certainly the injection of other's opinions and other methodologies makes perfect sense.
