Heads Ups Friday

Spotted this odd set up tonight.

Moon cycle shows New Moon due on the 11th combined with the following solar phenomena.


From Spaceweather:

The two sunspots are connected by a canopy of strong magnetic fields, which are presently crackling with low-level C-flares. Much stronger eruptions are possible. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of M-class flares and a 5% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours.
It has been documented by some scientists (Alexander Chizhevsky) that both the cycles in the Moon and solar flares influence human behavior.

Will this spill over into the markets Friday and produce a large downturn or upswing?

I am speculating a downturn is at hand as we are resistance on the VIX - but then, I am naturally bearish!!

Sunday night update from Spaceweather:

ACTIVE SUNSPOT: Big sunspot AR1654 is crackling with C- and M-class solar flares, and it poses a threat for even stronger eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 10% chance of X-flares today. 

It appears that my Thursday anticipation of a market downturn was a bit early.  It appears now that Monday at the earliest we will see some sort of resolution to the upside or downside.  My expectation remains to the downside, but we shall see.
