Stock Indexes Diverging; Poised for Pullback & Oct 10/13th Low… Rally into Dec ’25 on Track.

09-24-25 – “Stock Indices are initially fulfilling the potential for a multi-week peak on Sept 22 – 26th – the latest phase of a ~2-month/~60-degree geometric cycle that has timed successive highs in late-Sept & late-Nov ’24, then in late-Jan & late-March ’25, and then in late-May & late-July 2025.

Reinforcing that is a ~1-month/~30-degree Cycle Progression that has repeatedly timed turning points on the 21st – 23rd of the month, creating a low (April 21) – low (May 23) – low (June 23) – high (July 23) – high (Aug 22) – (high; Sept 22/23, ’25) Cycle Progression.  (A high at this time could project a future high in late-Nov ’25 – 1 year from the major peaks in 3 – 4 of the main indexes.)

The DJIA spiked up to its weekly & monthly resistance & Raw SPRs (46,690 & 46,752/DJIA) on Sept 23rd – initially fulfilling these Cycle Progressions and intra-week/intra-month upside targets.  That could spur an initial drop into next week.

The DJTA could lead this sell-off as it remains below its late-July ’25 cycle peak and below its late-Aug ’25 subsequent high… If an initial low is seen by/on Sept 29th, it would perpetuate an ~8-week low-low-low-low-(low; Sept 22 – 29, ’25) Cycle Sequence.

A September drop below 15,000/DJTA would help it perpetuate a ~5-month high-high-low-high-high-high-low-high-low-(low; Sept ’25) Cycle Sequence… the midpoint of an over-arching ~10-month low-low-low-high-low-high-low-low (Apr ’25) – (low; Feb ’26) Cycle Sequence, dating back to May 2019.

The real key – for the subsequent 1 – 2-month outlook – would be whether or not the Transports can generate a weekly close below 15,054/DJTA on Sept 26th…

On a related note, the IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) just fulfilled an ~8-week low-low-low-(high; Sept 22 – 26, ’25) Cycle Progression while retesting its Nov ’21 & Nov ’24 highs.  ~245/IWM is a decisive upside range target that has been in place for several years and that could spur a reactive sell-off.

While this potential ‘triple top’ could be a harbinger of future higher highs (if the old adage holds true that ‘double tops hold, triple tops don’t’), it is also the ideal time for a reactive sell-off since it is a multi-year resistance level.

Similar to other indexes, a high at this time would project a future high in late-Nov ’25 – linked to those previous late-Nov (’21 & ’24) peaks.

On a shorter-term basis, the DJTA is reinforcing important clues.  With its Sept 17th intervening high, the DJTA perpetuated a 23 – 26-day high-high-high-high-high-high-high Cycle Sequence that is overdue for an inversion and a 23 – 26-day decline.

If that occurs now, it could spur an overall sell-off into October 10/13, ’25.  An initial decline (below 15,400) into Sept 29th – the midpoint of that short-term cycle – would corroborate that.”   TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!


Stock Indexes remain in overall uptrends, expected to extend into Dec ’25 – when a consistent ~13-month Cycle Progression next recurs.  A more significant peak is expected at that time, dovetailing with the latest phases of the ~2-Year Cycle and a related ~4-Year Cycle Progression.

The Russell 2000 just set a triple-top – a pattern that ultimately leads to new highs in the subsequent weeks or months.  The DJTA could reinforce that with an intermediate low in the coming week(s).  October 10/13th cycle lows should spur new rally.

 

The Sept 3, 2025 Weekly Re-Lay Alert reiterated the outlook for the rest of 2025 and expectations for a dangerous period between Dec ’25 and March/April ’26.  It stated:

 

9-03-25 – “…there is the pair of pivotal cycles in the second half of 2025 – both of which were/are likely to time the culmination of significant rallies and usher in critical tops.  The first of those was in late-July/early-August…

The second cycle peak arrives in Dec ’25 and has been cited in previous analysis regarding these two time periods.  Among other things, it is the next phase of a ~13-month low (Sept ’22) – low (Oct ’23) – high (Nov ’24) – (high; Dec ’25) Cycle Progression. 

Perhaps more significant is its connection to the ~2-Year Cycle and the over-arching ~4-Year Cycle.

The ~2-Year Cycle was examined frequently in late-2021/early-2022 – when a 6 – 12-month peak was forecast for Jan 2022.  At the time, it was fulfilling a ~2-Year low (Jan/Feb ’14) – low (Jan/Feb ’16) – high (Jan ’18) – high (Jan ’20) – (high; Jan 2022) Cycle Progression and projected to spur a 6 – 9 month drop.

Two phases later is ~January 2026 and closely dovetails with that Dec ’25 (~13-month) cycle peak.

That is also the next phase of the over-arching ~4-Year low (Jan ’14) – high (Jan ’18) – high (Jan ’22) – (high; January 2026) Cycle Progression…It would be a more ‘pure’ cycle peak if new highs were seen at that time…”  – End of excerpt from Sept 3, 2025 Weekly Re-Lay Alert
