SPX Daily Chart Bradley Turn Dates 2011-2012

A Bradley turn date occurred on Saturday 1/28/12 shown by the blue circle on the right hand side of the chart. The double circles are major Bradley turn dates, two in 2011 marked significant tops while the 12/28/11 major Bradley turn date resulted in only a stutter step, then market melt-up. A look back at 2011 shows how the Bradlley turns were very accurate at identifying market trend changes. Remember, the Bradley dates do not identify direction, the date only identifies where a trend change will occur. Thus, if the markets are trending up a reversal down would be in order, or visa versa, but once in a while an acceleration move occurs where the Bradley date results in a melt-up or melt-down move.

Watch the coming days closely to see if the 1/28/12 turn date remains a top as shown above. The erratic markets reflect the numerous turns to start the new year. The 2/16/12 adn 2/22/12 turns are coming fast as well. The next major turn date is 3/16/12. Keep yourself strapped in. For further information on the Bradley, reference Donald Bradley, Peter Eliades, Arch Crawford and the Amanita Market Forecasting sites for additonal information.

The 2012 Bradley turn dates are 1/11, 1/28, 2/16, 2/22, 3/16, 4/11, 4/23, 6/12, 7/28, 8/14, 8/25, 9/30, 10/9, 11/1, 11/14, 12/22 and 1/20/13. The major turn dates are 3/16/12, 6/12/12, 7/28/12, and 12/22/12. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Do not invest based on anything you read or view here.

    How are turn dates determined? Are they related to the market in terms of news, etc.?

    The turn dates were quite impressive last year. How is its track record other years? How long have to been keeping track of this?

    Great comments all. The Bradley turns are based on astrological projections. Keystone would not have the slightest idea as to how they are determined, the references can provide more color. Lots of folks will call this stuff hokey and ridiculous but the track record shows that the Bradley dates are worth paying attention.

    In trading, you have to keep an open mind to anything. The Bradley turns are not something you want to base trading solely on but, like seasonality factors, are a guide for the background currents of the markets.

    The track record in 2011 is consistent with prior years, Keystone has watched the Bradley dates for years. Note how the major turn during the last few days of the year only resulted in a stutter step move and then a melt up afterwards.

    We will see if the turn from Saturday continues to move the indexes south, or not. Futures are up as this is written on Wednesday morning.

    Two Bradley turns occur in February and a major turn 3/16/12. If these dates all correspond to actual market turns, the next six weeks of trading may get quite crazy.
