Crude Reinforces Outlook for Early-Oct Low; New Surge into late-Oct ’26 Projected!
09-26-26 – “Energy markets corrected but remain strong… Crude Oil, Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil retreated in the past week with Crude dropping right to its weekly HLS (extreme downside target at 86.46/CLZ) as it twice neutralized the daily uptrend. Crude would not turn that daily trend down until a daily close below 86.43/CLZ.
This comes after all three 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 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. The midpoint on Oct 5th could reinforce late-Oct ’26 cycles. For now, the daily trend should be the determining factor.
Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil also stretched their rallies into Sept 14 – 18, ’26 – fulfilling ~12-week low-low-low-low-(high), ~6-week low-low-(high), and ~3-week low-low-(high) Cycle Progressions. That also set the stage for 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-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.
