The stock market reached a major turning point yesterday as technical indicators shifted from strongly bullish to strongly bearish and are now pointing to a significant drop ahead.
After soaring 960 points over the previous seven trading days starting February 11, the Dow Jones Index appeared ready to blast off, but that all changed yesterday when it dropped by 188.88 points (-1.14%) and the S&P dropped 24.23 points (-1.25%), but the bigger news is the technical indicators showing a financial power shift just happened.
We Just Went Over the Cliff
According to a highly respected analyst, Tom Demark, the S&P had to close yesterday above 1926.82 to avoid falling off a cliff. It closed at 1921.27, which means we just went over the cliff. According to his projections, the market will now drop at least another 8.2% and possibly more. (Source: Zero Hedge)
Thomas DeMark is the founder and CEO of DeMark Analytics, LLC, creator of the DeMark Indicators. Bloomberg reported how his recent projections have been amazingly accurate.
“A handful of chart-based calls by DeMark have looked prescient in recent weeks, including a prediction on Feb. 11 that oil would rally and a Jan. 20 forecast for a temporary bottom in the S&P 500. In the same interview he made the crude projection, he said the S&P 500 might go as low as 1,797. It bottomed that day at 1,810.10 and closed at 1,829.08.” (Source: Bloomberg)
With the shift today, Demark’s forecast shows the Dow will now drop down to at least 15,084 (-8.2%), a drop of 1,347 points, and possibly down to 14,624 (-11%), a drop of 1,807 points. Drops of that magnitude would be a calamity for millions of investors as the value of their accounts would drop sharply, but again the bigger story is the longer term impact as the downward trend continues.
JP Morgan Helped Push Us Over the Cliff
The financial power shift was confirmed yesterday when too-big-to-fail banking giant JP Morgan announced a whopping 25% drop in their first quarter revenue forecast for their debt and equity capital markets (Source: Zero Hedge). That news effectively pushed us over the edge by driving the S&P index down below Demark’s important 1926.82 threshold.
Financial stocks, like JP Morgan, are considered leading indicators of market crashes because they have historically led the way down, so when a financial giant announces a 25% drop in revenues, it could mean big trouble for other sectors is coming soon.
Prophetic Warning Fulfilled
Today’s financial shift is exactly what Ali Winters warned about on January 21 2016 when she posted on her Watchman on the Wall blog on February 17 when she posted on her blog:
“February 23 will bring a shaking to your nation. The financial sector will see a shift in power. Yes, great calamity.”
Then two days later she posted:
“February 23 will bring a shaking in your nation. The financial sector will see a shift in power. Market downturn – meltdown, financial crisis. ‘Corporate easing’ (I clearly heard this term several months ago and had no idea it’s meaning until 2/11/16 when Holy Spirit gave me the meaning). Corporate easing is the relaxing of power corporations have on business, relinquishing that power to the government. It will not be a pretty picture as business’ begin to topple; struggling to maintain control many will lose it all. Monsanto and IBM collide with government in power struggle for control.”
Ali’s warnings, which were also shared in my post, Stock Market and Dollar Might Both Get Punched Hard This Week. came to pass yesterday with the downward shift in the financial sector. The steep drop in revenues at JP Morgan is evidence that a shaking has come to our nation. It was enough to trigger crisis warnings from the technical indicators, which I believe marks the beginning of a new season of financial losses for investors. The time of calamity arrived and the initial pain was felt.
This shift also confirms what I heard regarding the sign I was given to watch for, President Obama’s authorization of $1.2 billion in military spending, which was fulfilled two weeks ago on February 9. God told me that would be a turning point in the markets. So we are getting a series of confirmations that the long term trends are now reversing, but they don’t change on a dime. The shifting has started, but we have to back away from the trees to see the forest because long-term trends are obscured by short-term volatility.
Along these lines, the following insight was shared in a comment posted today by Financial Consultant Julz Wanton.
“Put yourself in God’s shoes, if He chooses to reveal a day to His children (which is an honor and one we should never expect) which day should He give? If the markets are to crash over the following days, weeks, or months, the day I would most want to know is the first day of the downturn so I can get prepared for it. Knowing the day when people are rioting and the corporates are being taking over by the government is not much good to us, by then the financial collapse has already occurred, wealth has already been destroyed and we would have totally missed it.”
We all seem to have a natural inclination to assume the worst whenever we hear a prophetic warning. So when we hear the word ‘calamity’ we picture a mushroom cloud over New York City. Then when it turns out to be anything less than that, the temptation becomes too much for some ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing, so they attack whoever dared to step out and speak what God told them to speak. Amazingly, these wolves always believe they are serving God by devouring His sheep with slander and false accusations.
I looked up the definition of ‘calamity’ and found this: “misfortune or disaster, a grievous affliction, a disastrous event marked by great loss and lasting distress and suffering.”
Yesterday’s events revealed great misfortunes in our financial system as it became evident there was nothing holding it up but smoke and mirrors. The shifting promises to bring great loss, grievous affliction, lasting distress, and suffering to many people as markets fall.
February 23 and The Story of Esther:
I was not being a good watchman when Ali sent me her warnings about February 2 and 3 with her instructions to watch the day carefully because I did not watch or even pay attention to the news. I would have missed it completely if not for a couple of faithful watchmen who took the time to send the information to me. I believe God went the extra mile to help me see the fulfillment of those events because they were signs pointing to what was coming on February 23. I don’t believe it was any coincidence that He chose February 2 and 3 to point to February 23.
There were a lot of things happening yesterday that were easy to miss without God’s help. For example, it was a Jewish feast day, Purim Katan. According to Jonathan Cahn and others, every major economic crash has occurred precisely on Jewish feast days, so I don’t believe the selection of February 23 was a coincidence.
Purim is a celebration of how God delivered the Jewish people through the courage of one woman, Queen Esther. When Esther was informed that her actions could get her killed, she replied, “If I perish, I perish.” (Esther 4:16)
With that in mind, consider my email correspondence with Ali Winters on February 19. After I discovered the fulfillment of her prophetic warnings about February 2 and 3, I wrote to her, “I thank God for your boldness in speaking dates. Not many people are that bold!”
She replied, “My friend, in fear and trembling I post what I truly believe Holy Spirit says. I have promised my LORD that I will faithfully stand as a watchman on His wall and stand I will. Each time he gives me a date, I almost throw up, it really is HARD for me to write, but I am His and if I perish, I perish.”
Ali did not know February 23 was Purim Katan. She was not trying to quote Queen Esther, yet God revealed she has the same heart as Esther because she spoke the words of Esther. This is the heart of someone who takes no regard for her own life as she speaks forth whatever God gives her. Perhaps God has raised up Ali for such a time as this because after counting the cost, with fear and trembling, she proceeds anyway. I believe anyone who does that deserves special recognition because it is rare. So many shrink back in fear of losing their reputation or their jobs or whatever. When God speaks to them, they remain silent. They pass by His opportunities, so He passes by them, giving their assignments to someone else.
I replied back to Ali, “I love that last line, “if I perish, I perish.” That is the secret to overcoming in this life!”
The wolves seek to devour her, but to me she is a true heroine.
Where Do We Go From Here?
Even though the market is now moving down does not mean it will stay down. I believe it will hit a bottom and come right back up again, possibly even hitting new highs for the year. I believe this for the following reasons.
First, I was given four signs to identify when we are close to seeing big crash and three of them have happened, but I am still waiting for the fourth, which is increased tensions between the American people. I believe the final sign will begin to manifest prior to the big crash, so this current move down cannot be it.
Second, on February 15 I was shown the sequence of future price movements for USD/CHF in a dream about karate fighters. See my post, Karate Fighters Reveal Future Forex Price Movements. The fight scenes revealed a few small moves up followed by a big move down followed by a much bigger move back up. We have already seen the first part fulfilled with small moves up, so the big move down comes next, which fits perfectly with the new downward shift in the stock market because the dollar often moves in the same direction. After the big move down, I saw fast moves way up, so I am expecting to see similar upward movement in the stock market at the same time for the same reason.
Third, if the stock market makes a big move down followed by a bigger move up that would complete the giant W pattern in the stock market index, which has been forming since August 2015. Technical analysts call this pattern a triple-top reversal because it often precedes market crashes. So I believe we are going to see history repeat itself, even if the W starts to look like it is sliding over the edge.
Fourth, Z3 Administrator Rob Perrett shared the following insights in a comment posted two days ago.
God has been using the vertical motion/movement in my dreams to show the DJI movement, I’ve been tracking this for a few months and its quite accurate. Last night I had a dream where in one part I rappelled out of a helicopter onto the ground. So I know that the DJI is going to have a very sharp drop sometime this week. I haven’t had success yet in picking the exact pricing points or timing, but given its going to be straight down, I’ll get out as soon as it stops falling.
Secondly, the 4th leg of the W I also know is coming. On the 26th Dec and then 28th Dec I had dreams about DJI “going to a new high and then falling”, “the number xx9xx”, so I think/guess this is going to be 17900. At the time they really threw me off as DJI was at 17600 so I was long when it fell in January. However thus far none of my dreams have come up empty and the extended wait for fulfilment is similar to last year when I shared about USD/CHF going back up to 98.2, which took weeks to be fulfilled, but it was.
God is in the process of transferring financial resources into His kingdom and we have a part to play. I have a good friend here who pastors a church living with no income, and God provides miraculously for him every single month. Another guy I just met has been traveling Asia for one year with no money, just going where God sends Him. His clothes haven’t worn out and he’s not thin so I know God is taking care of him too. God always provides in many different ways, I’m glad to be a part of it all in this particular way too.
Like Rob, my plan is to take my profits when it hits bottom, then get back in with more shares after it goes back up.
Conclusion:
A financial power shift has occurred. For those who are spiritually dead or asleep, the calamity has already started. However, God is giving insights to those who follow Him closely. The same shifting bringing correction to the unrighteous is bringing great blessings to the righteous who have been prepared for this time to advance God’s kingdom in the earth.
I agree with the comment posted regarding the 188.88 drop in the Dow yesterday. The number 8 represents new beginnings and we just got four of them in a row! A new season has arrived. It is the season when darkness falls upon the world, but light arises on God’s people (Isaiah 60:1-5).
Just as the Lord spoke to Matt Smith recently, “The time has come for Me to bless you mightily.”

I had a dream last night that I was standing on a hill overlooking an airport where planes were doing “touch and go” exercises. The first plane (which I knew in my spirit) was chinese completed the touch and go. Although very shaky it did complete the exercise. The next plane which was an American airlines plane landed and was disembarking on the runway. A third plane, which was goldish and reddish (in my spirit I knew it to be Dutch) came in, touched down then began slide out of control. It slid into the American plane and the two exploded. I was standing there with my sister and told her we should go help. Just then a fireball from the explosion came flying through the air and hit the emergency vehicles that were coming to save the people. I looked up to make sure there were none others when I saw a missile fly over my head and go into the apartment complex I had been staying in. The missile was about two feet long and white with red rectangles from the base to about a third of the way up. I remember so many people screaming for help with one lady begging her husband to kill her and do it right away so she could be with her daughter that just died in the crash. Dream ended and I woke up suddenly. As I laid in bed asking the Lord for understanding, it suddenly dawned on my that the planes doing “touch and go” were representative of nations economy (dollar?) that had a near crash but were able to take back off. The American plane landed (very hard I might add, but did not crash). The Duestch plane landed hard, tried to take back off but spun out… Read more »
Thanks for sharing this awesome dream Kathy! Just to clarify, was the plane that crashed Dutch or Deutsche?
Talking about the financial markets, I was just re-reading everyone’s comments around a potential march 3-4 crash when I saw Tom DeMark on CNBCs Marketwatch this past Thursday projecting a market downturn in the month of March. The link below has the article and his 4 minute embedded video appearance towards the bottom of the page.
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-tom-demark-is-predicting-an-ugly-fall-for-the-sp-500-in-march-2016-02-25
Great stuff Jemba! Thanks for sharing this. In this Feb 24 interview, he said, “The next two or three weeks is probably a better range of when this slump might take hold. If it doesn’t fall in the next two or three weeks, we’ll have to rethink the scenario.”
So he is still holding to his projection for an 8-11% drop in the market and he sees it happening very soon, during the first half of March. That would certainly be a big punch!
Another article on Friday Feb 26, “According to DeMark, Friday’s session is critical and could determine whether or not he sticks to his call.” http://www.marketwatch.com/story/demark-sp-set-to-fall-8-to-10-in-march-2016-02-26-1046450
Well, now we know Friday closed down for the day, so I assume he is still sticking with his call.
Waiting on the Lord patiently is a process everyone who walks into the destiny God has for them has to go through. There are no short cuts. We have to abandon our timetables and say, “Lord, your will not my will” because there is an appointed time for everything God does. First comes the promise then the wait. I know it can be frustrating sometimes but we have to ultimately know that the God we serve is honest, trustworthy, reliable, and stable. Abraham waited 11 years for his own seed after receiving the promise from God and got tired and tried it his way. He would wait another 14 years after the Ishmael mistake. Jesus as a 12 year old boy at the temple was so full or revelation and Godliness yet God made him wait another 18 years before calling him to full time ministry though he probably got tired of waiting at some point along the way. So personally it doesn’t matter if we have to wait 2 more weeks, or 2 more months, or 2 more years for these prophecies to be all fulfilled. Spiritual giants who have walked before us in the scriptures have demonstrated that we can also wait patiently if we hold firm by faith. I just know that time will come upon us suddenly like a thief in the night and those will be gambling with their own intellect versus the word of God will be shut out of God’s financial plan like Saul because he couldn’t wait one more day for prophet Samuel. There’s a reason it says those that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.
Thanks for that encouraging word Jemba! You are a blessing.
Thanks Jemba, this blessed me so much! Thanks for taking the time to share this encouraging message .
Still, “market meltdown” did not happen regardless of influence of the demons or not. Therefore, we cannot rely on any of this in the short term for trading or positioning. It seems the Lord is only speaking on long term investments, like FAZ, silver and yes the usd….. I had a prophetic dream back on 9/14/14. That was right at the time the usd started busting out of its trading range. The dream told us to hold usd and silver. Being anti usd, I couldn’t discern it, but now we know, the dollar went ballistic. Based off that, I later bought silver…. we will see great returns, but this short term trading from prophetic signs has utterly failed us. I think we all need to take a step back and recognize, these prophetic signs are no good for short to even mid term trading, but very soon, they are all gonna converge to come to pass and I think it begins in the spring, then closer to the jubilee, like september. Until then, I think we get the W maybe up to the 17,200s, then a deep correction
I understand your point, but I don’t agree with the conclusion because prophetic words are not the all same. Some reveal long term trends while others reveal short term movements. There is a learning curve, which can be frustrating, but I think it would be a mistake to give up because God is speaking to us and we need to hear what He is saying. I believe He does things in a way that is designed to keep us depending on Him every step of the way, which is a good place to be.
Strange observations to share, please draw your own conclusions… I have heard it said that prophecy often deliberately lacks key elements such as dates because God knows His children are not the only ones listening and reading. We know the devil is constantly looking to thwart the plans of God and very specific prophecies with dates make it easier for him to direct those under his influence to do just that. This is a highly effective strategy because it not only prevents or delays a specific blessing but it also discourages those who put their hope in that prophecy. Ali shared a specific date Feb 23 in her prophecy and the turning of the markets occurred right on schedule and there was an acceleration to the downside that followed. All the technical indicators were there I firmly believe we were about to observe a market capitulation to the downside. The rapid bursts of buying that suddenly reversed this down move, on absolutely no news flow, looked very much like market manipulation. I have since read several articles confirming that the alarming irrational rally was indeed manipulation driven by large VIX and Oil future transactions. These contracts give the Fed directed manipulators the best bang for their buck. Selling VIX futures and driving down S&P volatility forces brokers to buy back the equity futures they had sold as hedges against the put options owned by the market. Likewise buying oil futures which are currently extremely correlated to equity markets encourages market participants including programmed trading systems to buy equities. Given the enemy has influence over those that control our financial markets it’s not a huge leap to think he is capable of manipulating the market at the exact moment a key prophecy like this was being fulfilled. It does lead to… Read more »
Interesting points to consider. Thanks for sharing! I believe the main point is we cannot look to short-term fluctuations to measure a shift in a six-year old trend. It requires a long-term analysis to see the turning point, which is now hidden from our physical eyes, but visible to our eyes of faith. I believe we have reached the turning point based on the multiple confirmations, which I documented. In time, I believe the skeptics will believe it too.
Confirmation that a financial shift has occurred:
“The most important part of the US economy – the services sector- has”ground halt” in February 2016. according to financial analytics firm Markit.
The PMI fell to 49.8. This is the first real contraction in the service sector since late 2009 when the index was created.
Markit said the data show a “significant risk” of the entire US economy falling into a contraction in the first quarter of the year. … Seeing signs of contraction in services sector account for at least two thirds of US economy is even more troubling.

Thanks Sonia!
I believe the lack of exact details filters out those who are in it for a quick personal “lottery ticket” without being called on the Lord to use this money for His kingdom. God allows this to test our faith. If we read a word and act on it because we feel He is speaking to us, then we need to hang on to it and not lose our faith on each fluctuation. He uses this to have us depend on Him. Also, those who are in it for selfish reasons, will no longer listen because they will consider these words as failed prophecies and will ultimately not benefit from God’s plan. I speak this from personal experience and have to daily examine my motives. If it’s the Lord’s money which He blesses us to use for a time of famine and hard times, then why should we be upset whether the market goes up or down? It’s His so let Him deal with it but seek His face so that we are hearing His specific instructions. Prayer is required as well to have spiritual discernment. There are many voices out there. We benefit from sharing our thoughts on this forum but we all see in part and it is up to us to seek what the Lord is personally speaking to us through this site. I believe all selfish will be tested and fail. Thanks to all who contribute. I too have learned a lesson to not jump at every word I read without seeking interpretation. Otherwise it’s hit and miss. God is using this situation so that we learn His voice and learn to take all things to him, not so we can all get rich trading. Blessings to all of the faithful saints.
Great word Mark B !
Thanks Mark!
Very true, well said
Well, it looks as though feb 23rd was not the market meltdown or the days following were anything fulfilled…… one has to wonder if the fallen ones have doomed us. .. they’re always at it.
That is not true. The fallen ones have not doomed us and Feb 23 was a confirmation of a major turning point in the long-term trend. Short term fluctuations do not reveal long-term trends. This has been confirmed in multiple ways, which I have documented here: http://z3news.com/w/ringside-update-karate-fight/
Sorry but I can’t understand. You find that Feb. 23 was a confirmation of the “financial shift” based on… a -1% loss in the market?
There are only two options:
– We reached a top: in that case you’re right, we will soon crash in no more, no more than 1st of March, because even 7 days are really distant from Feb. 23rd, in terms of markets trading and prophecy fulfillment.
– We have no way reached a top: still long way to go up, no financial shift on 23rd, no prophecy fulfilled, and unreliability of Ali Winters.
It could be only one of the above options. Hopefully everyone will agree with this. It is like saying that 2+2=4.
Anyway:
“February 23 will bring a shaking in your nation. The financial sector will see a shift in power. Market downturn – meltdown, financial crisis.” Ali Winters
Feb. 23:
– Shaking to the nation? No.
– Financial sector shifted in power? No.
– Market downturn? No.
This should be enough to ring as an alarm bell.
It was not based on the market drop that occurred on the 23rd. The turning point was based on a prophetic warning received by Ali Winters, which was already confirmed by her warnings about February 2 and 3. This came by revelation long before the events of February 23. Please go back and read her prophetic warnings along with the multiple confirmations because that is the key to understanding what just happened.
A shift in a six-year-old trend cannot be measured by small fluctuations in a day or a week. Not sure where you came up with a one-week deadline because that makes no sense. Long term trends require a long term analysis, so the skeptics will have to wait and see whether or a shift occurred.
For me I already know the answer because I was told we reached a turning point in the markets when my dream about Obama authorizing $1.2 billion was confirmed on February 9. So God has twice confirmed the long term trend has shifted down and is leading us to a financial crisis. For more details on that see my post: http://z3news.com/w/prophecy-fulfilled-obama-authorizes-12-billion-military-defense-equipment/
For more details about what happened on February 23, please see my post: http://z3news.com/w/ringside-update-karate-fight/
Hey James, is there a particular reason for which all of this failed? You told us that we were going into bear starting from Feb. 23. You described the prophecy as fulfilled, but now the market is bullish again, so in my book this would be a fail. Everyone is asking me what happened, and I haven’t any answer to offer. Please explain. Thank you.
I can see how this could get confusing because it is hard to see the shift in the long term trend due to the short term fluctuations, but long term trends cannot be based on short term movements. I believe the turning point revealed to Ali Winters happened just like she saw because of the reasons I documented in this post and in my latest post: http://z3news.com/w/ringside-update-karate-fight/
We also need to try to separate what God is saying from what anyone else is saying. What He showed me in my recent karate fight dream was the dollar getting hit with a big punch. I was not shown any dates, but I was shown a sequence of events that appears to be right on track. Since the stock market often moves in the same direction as the dollar, we might see the stock market dropping when that happens. This theory is consistent with what Rob Perrett saw in a dream recently, which was included in this post. So hang in there!
He says his contacts confirm this on 2/23/16

Just read this re February 23 – giant double wave off Honolulu … “The initial swell brought wave faces of up to 70 feet in certain areas Monday, Hawaii News Now reports. A stronger-than-usual El Niño was fueling one of the strongest surf events in Hawaii in 50 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
In an unprecedented move, state officials shut down a 12-mile stretch of Kamehameha Highway, on the north shore of Oahu, in response to ocean surges that washed over the roadway. In addition to flooding, several areas experienced severe coastal erosion. A 30-foot stretch of beach on the north shore of Oahu reportedly disappeared overnight.”
