I've found something very interesting and want to share. It isn't my work, unfortunately, i just processed it. Somebody posted a comment on a blog the attached chart (first one). He has constructed a composite cycle of Jup-Sat-Uran that shows an April 2013 peak and late October 2015 low. What i found is that it predicts quite well the market moves, as u can see in the second chart, based on his work and compared with djia (9 days bar or aprox 2 weeks - for scale purposes, freestockchart didn't provide much room here). There were periods when it didn't worked as is it was supposed (2004-2006 period, see the red lines, in 2004 the market was supposed to rise but it was in range mostly and in 2005 was due for a correction which didn't came) or when highs and lows were a few bars apart (orange lines), but apart from that did a marvelous job.
From what i can see, in short term we'll have a small pulback probably in april but will be a buy opportunity (blue lines) with a top towards 3rd quarter. What i'm most interested in is that from 2013 till 2015 we are due for a corection (another recession?). It can be as the one from 2000s, in range, overlapping and shallow, or a brutal as in 2007-2009
If Cobra will allow it, i'll post the link where the author post it, but for now i'll show only his comments:

I have used the Seasonal Chain Relative method to calculate a composite cycle for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) using the heliocentric longitudes of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus using daily data from inception in 1896. If the out of sample turning points faithfully follow the composite cycle, we can expect an initial top in late August 2012 followed by a double top in April 2013 and an eventual bottom in late October 2015.Some points to keep in mind, is that I averaged returns for corresponding positions of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. In other words, I have not weighted the returns. Also, I used the arithmetic mean instead of the median when calculating the composite curve using the Seasonal Chain Relative method. Note, the curve can be used only to observe turning points but not to forecast the extent of moves because it does not contain the trend.

To follow up on my Seasonal Chain Relative post, DJIA topped as per the model on 2/29. If the model holds, the correction won't be very deep and should bottom on 3/22 and then move up to 4/24 at which time a larger correction will unfold.
