Shemitah + Jubilee Cycle Overlay
This indicator overlays significant biblical cycle events—Shemitah and Jubilee years—onto your chart, providing a unique perspective on historical and potential future market cycles. The Shemitah cycle occurs every 7 years, while the Jubilee cycle spans 49 years, both starting from a user-defined year (defaulting to 1917). Key features include:

Highlight Shemitah Years: Shades the chart background in orange during Shemitah years, with customizable color and transparency.
Mark Jubilee Years: Draws bold blue vertical lines on the chart for Jubilee years, with optional labels.
Event Markers: Places vertical lines and labels (e.g., "Shemitah" or "Jubilee") on a specified month and day (defaulting to September 10th) for each cycle event.

Customizable Inputs: Adjust the start year, cycle lengths, event date, colors, and visibility of highlights and labels to suit your analysis.

Ideal for traders and analysts exploring long-term economic or market patterns influenced by these traditional cycles, this overlay combines historical context with visual clarity. Use it on daily or higher timeframes for best results. The best markets to overlay this indicator on include major stock indices (e.g., S&P 500, Dow Jones), precious metals (e.g., Gold, Silver), cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), and debt markets (e.g., U.S. Treasury Bonds, Corporate Bond ETFs), as these markets often reflect macroeconomic shifts, debt cycles, and speculative behavior that may correlate with Shemitah and Jubilee cycles.

Rationale for Including Debt Markets

U.S. Treasury Bonds:

Treasury securities (e.g., 10-year or 30-year bonds) are sensitive to interest rate changes and government debt levels. The Shemitah cycle (every 7 years) has been historically linked to debt-related economic adjustments, while the Jubilee cycle (every 49 years) aligns with broader debt forgiveness or restructuring concepts, making bonds a prime candidate.


Corporate Bond ETFs (e.g., LQD, HYG):

Corporate bond ETFs represent corporate debt and are influenced by credit cycles and economic resets. The indicator could highlight periods of potential default risk or yield shifts tied to Shemitah or Jubilee years.


Relevance to Biblical Context:

The Jubilee year, as described in the Bible (Leviticus 25), involves the release of debts and return of land, directly tying it to debt markets. The Shemitah year also includes a release of debts every seven years, making debt instruments a natural fit for this indicator’s thematic analysis.
