Stock Index Cycle Progressions Portend Quick Drop from Jan 12th into Jan 21/22nd.
01-17-26 – “Stock indexes have entered the time when 2-Year & 4-Year Cycle Progressions – as well as corroborating weekly cycles – portend a new set of 3 – 6-month peaks. The NQ-100 has been leading a topping process but is still in need of two decisive and confirming negative signals that could occur during a drop into early-Feb…
The other indexes are initially fulfilling ~2-Year & ~4-Year Cycle Progressions that converge in Jan ’26 – the ideal time for a new 3 – 6-month peak to take hold. Mid-to-late-January ’26 is the latest recurrence of the ~1-Year, ~2-Year and the related ~4-Year Cycle Progressions.
The NQ-100 needs to give a weekly close below its weekly 21 Low MAC (~24,880/NQH) to signal a higher-magnitude top is in place and to project a new drop into early-Feb ’26. With the coming week’s HLS at 24,844/NQH, that is an intriguing level to monitor – leading into January 23rd.
The S+P 500 & NQ-100 fulfilled ~11-week/75 – 77-day Cycle Progressions that projected a peak on Jan 12 – 14, ’26. The NQ-100 also fulfilled a 26-day low (Nov 21) – low (Dec 17) – (high; Jan 12th) Cycle Progression. At the same time, the S+P 500 repeated a pattern in which it has set a 1 – 2-week (or longer) peak every ~10 trading days since its Oct 28/29th high.
The latest high sets the NQ-100 up to repeat the action seen after that Dec 10th high, which could spur a quick (initial) drop into January 21/22nd…
Stock indices spiked higher during the past week, fulfilling their intra-month uptrends by rallying into mid-month. The S+P 500 & NQ-100 topped a little early, fulfilling daily wave & Cycle Progressions targeting a high on ~Jan 12/13, ’26 as the S+P briefly spiked above its Oct ’25 high as the NQ-100 remained below successive peaks – while fulfilling/maintaining its daily downtrend. A quick drop into Jan 21/22nd would pave the way for a larger decline into early-Feb ’26.” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
Stock Indexes are fulfilling a myriad of multi-month & multi-year Cycle Progressions that project multi-month peaks to take hold in Jan/Feb ’26 and usher in new declines. The NQ-100 fulfilled multi-year upside objectives (timing & price) in late-Oct ’25 and set a likely 6 – 12-month peak at that time.
Other indexes are expected to set final highs in 1Q ’26 – some in January ’26 and others in February ’26 – as this overall topping process unfolds. Intermediate lows are projected for the days surrounding February 6/9th & March 6/9th, ’26… as part of this overall sequence. The NQ-100 is projected to set a series of 1 – 2 week lows on Jan 21/22nd, Feb 6/9, Feb 19/22 & March 6/9, ’26 as part of this process.
