Crude/Energy Project Early-Oct Low & New Surge into late-Oct ’26! XLE Concurs.
09-23-26 – “Crude Oil, Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil surged into mid-September when a myriad of short-term Cycle Progressions aligned – including three different magnitudes of low-low-(high; Sept 14 – 16, ’26) Cycle Progressions in Crude. That projected (at least) a 1 – 2-week high to take hold.
At the same time, Sept 15th was the intra-month uptrend timing target (mid-month) and the latest phase of a consistent ~40-day cycle in Crude.
That ~40-day cycle has timed a low (Feb 26) – low (April 8) – high (May 18) – low (June 26) – low (August 5) – (high; Sept 15, ’26)… and could time a future high in late-Oct ’26. That would also fulfill a ~23-week high-low-high-(high; Oct 23 – 30, ’26) Cycle Progression in Crude.
Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil remain strong and stretched their rallies into the week of Sept 14 – 18, ’26 – the convergence of a ~12-week low-low-low-low-(high), a ~6-week low-low-(high), and even a ~3-week low-low-(high) Cycle Progression. That set the stage for a 1 – 2-week high to be set.
The XLE fulfilled a ~5-week low-low-low-(high; Sept 8 – 14, ’26) Cycle Progression with its Sept 9/10th high, projecting future focus to the week of Oct 12 – 16, ’26 – when that ~5-week cycle next comes into play (and when a future high is more likely).“ TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!!
Crude & the products (Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil) continue to fulfill late-2025 & early-2026 projections for a massive rally in 2026, possibly stretching into 2Q 2027. The GSCI (heavily weighted in energy) corroborated that, projecting an initial surge – from mid-Dec ’25 into mid-April ’26 – and then a second surge into mid-Oct ’26… as part of an over-arching advance from 3Q ’25 into 2Q 2027.
On an intermediate basis, Crude and the products are fulfilling projections for the latest surge to occur in the first half of September ’26 – potentially peaking around mid-Sept ‘26. That would reinforce weekly Cycle Progressions (including a unique ~40-day/~6-week C.P.) that project a future rally into late-October ’26 – when other larger-magnitude weekly & monthly Cycle Progressions converge (and could time a future 1 – 2-month peak).
Late-Oct/early-Nov ’26 is the ideal time for a blow-off peak that would corroborate future (2027) cycle highs.
