Crude Nearing Time (Oct 26 – 30 ’26) For Culminating Spike High!
10-28-26 – “The GSCI ($GNX; Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) remains below its early-Sept ’26 peak – a high that fulfilled the recurring ~18 – 19-week low-low-low-low-high-(high; Sept 1 – 7, ’26) Cycle Progression while remaining below – and further validating – the April ’26 top set in that index.
That does not, however, show signs of weakness… only hesitation at a much higher plateau.
In between, the GSCI dropped back to its rising monthly 21 High MAC and bottomed precisely at that level of 3 – 6-month support while fulfilling a geometric ~6-month/~26 – 27-week high-low-(low; June 15 – 26, ’26) Cycle Progression. That could time a future low in mid-to-late-Dec ’26 (and then future highs in Jan ’27 & April/ May ’27… see HCP diagram & excerpts on page 2).
But here’s the important part…
During that decline, the GSCI never neutralized its monthly uptrend, never neutralized its weekly uptrend, and never neutralized its intra-year uptrend. In fact, it retraced right to the Jan ’26 high – a pivotal intra-year level of multi-month support – and immediately reversed higher, resuming its uptrend.
On a fractal-like basis, that index could be mimicking what it did between early-March and late-June ’26. At the time, it culminated an 11 – 12-week rally and then set a subsequent high – with a higher weekly close but slightly lower intraweek high – ~7 weeks later. It then dropped sharply for 7 – 8 weeks – completing an overall ~15-week decline.
In early-Sept ’26 (Sept 10, 6 months from the preceding March 9th intraday peak), the GSCI culminated another 11 – 12-week rally and then set a subsequent high – with a higher weekly close but slightly lower intraweek high – 1 day shy of 7 weeks later. It could now drop (relatively sharply??) for 7 – 8 weeks – completing an overall ~15-week decline.
If so, it would bottom in late-Dec ’26, along with the next phase of that ~6-month Cycle Progression. That would also arrive about 1 year (~360 degrees) from the Dec ’25 low.
While that could be driven by energy prices – with Crude currently fulfilling multi-week & multi-month Cycle Progressions that peak on Oct 23 – 30, ’26 – there is another ‘inflationary commodity’ that has also been congesting at a historically-high plateau but could be preparing for a new advance [reserved for subscribers]…
Crude Oil, Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil are diverging as Crude fulfills the outlook for a peak on Oct 23 – 30, ’26 – the latest phase of a consistent ~40-day low (Feb 26) – low (April 8) – high (May 18) – low (June 26) – low (August 5) – high (Sept 15) – (high; Oct 23/26, ’26) Cycle Sequence and a reinforcing ~23-week high-low-high-(high; Oct 23 – 30, ’26) Cycle Progression. A daily close below 96.40/CLZ is needed to initially signal a multi-week peak.” 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-to-late-Oct ’26… as part of an over-arching advance from 3Q ’25 into 2Q 2027.
On an intermediate basis, Crude fulfilled projections for a penultimate peak (peak before the ultimate peak) in ~mid-Sept ’26 as part of a series of progressive peaks… and fulfilled analysis for a subsequent low in early-Oct ’26. That was projected to spur a new surge into Oct 26 – 30, ’26 when a powerful convergence of weekly Cycle Progressions – including the next phase of that unique ~40-day/~6-week Cycle Progression – align… align and could/should time a 1 – 2-month peak.
Oct 28 – 30, ’26 is the ideal time for a blow-off peak that would corroborate future (2027) cycle highs, including related GSCI cycles in 1Q & 2Q ‘27.
