Crude & Energy Markets Surging; Successive Highs Likely in Sept & Oct ’26.
09-05-26 – “Gold & Silver fulfilled the outlook for surges into late-August ’26… Energy markets surged into late-August/early-Sept and are near cycle peaks…
Gold & Silver surged into the final week of Aug ’26 – when Cycle Progressions projected a multi-week peak to take hold and spur a sharp pullback after Gold & Silver had also attacked upside price targets, where a peak was most likely…
One thing working against these metals is their daily trends, which turned down during the recent decline. They would need to turn back up – which cannot occur until Sept 9th at the very earliest – in order to validate the potential for a September rally back to the highs.
Otherwise, they could see a second decline into that same week (Sept 14 – 18, ’25) – fulfilling a myriad of contrasting timing indicators…
2 – 4 week & 1 – 3 month traders could have entered long positions in Dec Gold & Sept Silver futures in late-July at avgs of ~4092/GCZ & ~57.90/SIU in line with published trading strategies for July 27 – 31, ’26.
2 – 4-week traders could have exited Gold & Silver long positions in late-August ‘26, resulting in overall avg gains of about $51,000/contract in GCZ & about $52,000/contract in SIU.
1 – 3-month traders could have exited 1/2 of long positions near 4680/GCZ and 69.00/SIU – w/avg gains of about $59,000/contract in GCZ & about $55,000/contract in SIU.
The remaining 1/2 could have been exited on this past week’s open (avg exit near 4500/GCZ & 66.40/SIU) – resulting in overall avg. gains for the entire trade of about $50,000/contract in GCZ & about $50,000/contract in SIU. TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!!
Gold & Silver turned their daily trends down as they sold off from intermediate cycle highs. If they fail to turn their new intra-month trends up, a new decline into Sept 14 – 18th would be likely.
The XAU & HUI also surged into late-August, fulfilling almost all of what was projected from their mid-July ’26 lows. The July lows fulfilled analysis for a multi-month low to take hold – when a 19 – 20-week high-high-high-(low) & ~10-week high-high-high-high-(low) Cycle Progression converged with a contrasting ~9-week/~2-month low-low-high-high-low Cycle Sequence.
That projected initial rallies of 5 – 6 weeks, ideally stretching into August 25/26th. They topped on Aug 25th…
Crude Oil, Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil have surged into the cyclic period of Sept 3 – 8th, ~8 months from the Jan 7th low, 4 months from the May 6th low (part of a 4-month low-low-low-high Cycle Progression), 2 months from the July 2nd low (2-month low-low-high Cycle Progression) & 1 month from the Aug 5th low (1-month low-low-high Cycle Progression).
A high on Sept 4 – 11, ’26 would also fulfill a related ~5-week low-low-low-(high; Sept 4 – 11, ’26) Cycle Progression. Shorter-term daily Cycle Progressions (24 trading-day low-low-low-high & 12 trading-day low-low-high) pinpoint Sept 8/9th as the ideal time for a peak.
If a peak is set in the coming days, that could spur a correction into early-Oct ’26.
The GSCI (heavily weighted in energy) is showing similar signs but more likely to set a lower high (than its March/April ’26 highs) in the coming days. A high on Sept 4 – 11, ’26 would fulfill a ~10-week low-low-low-(high; Sept 4 – 11, ’26) Cycle Progression. “ TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!!
Crude & the products (Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil) continue to fulfill late-2025 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 another surge in the first half of September ’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 1 – 2-month peak.
Meanwhile, Gold & Silver – that come under pressure during Crude rallies – fulfilled ongoing analysis and trading signals that projected strong rallies into late-August ’26, when a decisive peak was expected to take hold. (The next peak in that sequence is not likely until early-Dec ’26.)
