DJIA Nearing Multi-Week Bottom. Preps for October Rally. Russell 2K Augurs Future Drop.
09-29-26 – “Stock Indices remain divergent as the DJIA, DJTA & Russell 2000 set new multi-month lows while the NQ-100 is within striking distance of new all-time highs (the cash index actually set a record high close on Sept 22nd). The spike lows are fulfilling multiple cycles that projected a multi-week (or longer) bottom for late-Sept ’26.
As explained in March ’26, the DJIA has set a multi-month low every 25 – 26 weeks (~6-month/ 180-degree cycle) since Oct ’23. That reinforced a myriad of timing indicators projecting a critical low on March 30, ’26… and then in late-Sept ’26.
It has now (initially) fulfilled both of those.
Sept 21 – 30, ‘26 also represents the midpoint of a related 51 – 52-week low-low cycle even as Sept 21 – 28, ’26 represents the fulfillment of an over-arching ~17.5-month/~76-week low-low-(low; Sept 21 – 28, ’26) Cycle Progression.
This is also fulfilling unrelated timing indicators like the expected action following a weekly trend reversal. Wave symmetry is also coming into play in the DJTA, which just completed a ~10-week decline that perfectly matched the time AND price of the preceding ~10-week rally.
It also broke down into a ~5-week low-high-high-high-low Cycle Sequence. That could prompt a 1 – 3-week rally in various indices That dovetails with expectations related to the NQ-100 & S+P 500 just attacking their weekly LHRs.
Once again, different indexes have different times when an October ‘26 high is most likely.
Cycle Progression Midpoints
A future high, in [reserved for subscribers] would also be in sync with the weekly trend patterns and with the midpoint of the cycle that helped time the June ‘26 peak in the NQ-100 (see HCP diagram above).
The Russell 2000 has been providing some of the most intriguing setups for the coming weeks. It turned its weekly trend down… At the same time, it is tracing out a negative weekly 21 MAC reversal sequence.
That sequence, the level of the weekly 21 Low MAC, the levels of the coming week’s 21 High MARCs, intermediate range resistance, the level of the late-July low (support turned into resistance), and three other developing indicators pinpoint 2930 – 2950/QRZ as pivotal resistance for the coming weeks…
3 – 6 month & 6 – 12-month traders and investors could have again lightened up on long positions in late-June/early-July ’26.” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
The DJIA peaked in early-August with other indexes peaking in mid-August – all projecting significant declines into late-Sept/early-Oct ’26! An October ’26 rebound could follow. The weekly trends should provide additional clues regarding what to expect throughout 4Q 2026.
On an intra-year basis, Stock Indexes reached and then surged from a powerful convergence of daily, weekly & monthly Cycle Progressions and timing indicators that projected a multi-month bottom on March 30, ’26. That set the stage for the remainder of 2026 and identified last-Sept ’26 as the most likely time for a future multi-month low to take hold in the DJIA.
That is one reason why an overall August/Sept decline was projected!
