Stock Indexes Fulfilling March 30th Projected Low; April Rally Forecast; DJTA Concurs.
03-30-26 – “Stock Indices are fulfilling the outlook for a large sell-off in March ’26, following multi-year Cycle Progressions that peaked in Jan/Feb ‘26. Both the weekly trends & weekly 21 MACs generated negative (multi-month) signals and could lead to initial multi-week lows in the current time frame.
They have stretched their declines into the late-March/early-April ’26 time frame – the ideal ~2-week period for a 1 – 2 month low to take hold after fulfilling projections for large sell-offs following Cycle Progression highs in Jan/Feb ’26. This would fulfill diverse Cycle Progressions, cycles & wave retracement targets in multiple indexes…
NQ-100 Leadership
The NQ-100 led this topping process, peaking in late-Oct ’25 while fulfilling a myriad of timing indicators and Cycle Progressions portending a major peak It meticulously traced out a weekly 21 MAC reversal sequence as other indexes set final highs & entered bearish cycles in late-Feb.
That index could help time an impending blow-off low. The current week would fulfill a ~22-week sell-off – a precise .618 division of the ~8-month/33 – 36-week low (Mar ’23) – low (Oct ‘23) – high (July ‘24) – high (Feb ‘25) – (high; Oct 20 – 31, ’25) Cycle Progression that pinpointed the late-Oct ’26 top.
On an intermediate basis, the NQ-100 set pivotal highs on July 31 & Oct 29, ’25 and Jan 28, ’26 – creating a geometric ~3-month/90-91 day high-high-(high) Cycle Progression. A subsequent 56 – 61-day sell-off would represent .618 – .667 of that cycle… and produce a low on March 30, ‘26 (+ or – 1 trading day).
A low on March 30 – April 3, ’26 would also fulfill a ~51-week low (Apr 24 – 28 ’23) – low (Apr 15 – 19, ’24) – low (Apr 7 – 11, ’25) – (low; March 30 – April 2, ’26) Cycle Progression.
All things (timing indicators) considered, March 30th is the ideal date for an intermediate low.
DJIA Corroboration
The week of March 30 – April 2, ’26 is one of two ideal weeks for the DJIA to set another multi-month low – which it has done every 25 – 26 weeks since Oct ’23. That would also fulfill an overlapping 51 – 52-week low-low-(low; March 30 – April 10, ’26) Cycle Progression.
It is attacking its 1 – 2-month (minimum) downside target near 45,000 – bringing a critical price factor into this equation and significantly increasing the potential for a multi-week low in late-March ‘26.
Weekly trends & HLS levels concur.
The DJTA (Transportation Average) is reinforcing this but from a different angle. It is the only primary index – of the six we routinely monitor – that has not turned its weekly trend down. Instead, it traced out a textbook ’a-b-c’ correction into March 13, ’26 – when its intermediate cycles bottomed.
From there, it turned its daily trend up (only index to do that in last few weeks) while rallying into March 25th – portending a quick, reactive 2 – 3 day pullback before a larger rally. The 3rd day of that reactive 2 – 3-day pullback is today – March 30th.
It has not even neutralized its daily uptrend, reinforcing the potential for a secondary low and the onset of a larger advance. The weekly trend indicator concurs, projecting a rally back to the highs.
A ~2-month low/high (April 8/9) – high (June 10) – low (Aug 11) – low (Oct 10) – high (Dec 11) – high (Feb 11) – (high; April 10/13, ’26) Cycle Sequence pinpoints April 10th or 13th as the ideal date for a top. A corroborating ~6-month low (April 8) – low (Oct 10) – (high; April 10/13, ’26) concurs.
Many other indexes have similar daily Cycle Progressions focused on April 10/13, ’26 for a top.
The action in the DJTA is also setting up for a perfect validation of the Natural Year opening range and Date of Aggression shift pattern. (See https://www.
NQ-100 Topping Process
The NQ-100 completed its weekly 21 MAC reversal sequence on March 2 – 6th, ushering in a sharp decline until it was able to reverse its weekly trend down. This further corroborates its Oct ’25 top…
The Nasdaq-100 set a multi-month peak in late-Oct ’25 – fulfilling a myriad of daily, weekly, monthly and even multi-year cycles and timing objectives. On a multi-year basis, that Oct ’25 peak completed the 5th ~3-year advance (since the March ‘09 low) – fulfilling an intriguing series of bull market (wave timing) symmetry with successive rallies in:
- March 2009 – March 2012
- June 2012 – July 2015
- August 2015 – August 2018
- Dec 2018 – Nov 2021
- October 2022 – October 2025
17-Year Cycle
2026 is a full 17-Year Cycle from the culmination of the previous (related) 17-Year Cycle stock market decline in 2009. There was/is a good chance another 30 – 50% decline could occur – and already has been fulfilled in several key stocks – in 2026.
There is another 17-Year Cycle that is related to this and is also worth reiterating. 2Q 2026 (~June ’26) is a full 17-Year Cycle from the culmination of the 2008/2009 recession and has been forecast – for over a year – to usher in the onset of a new phase of recession and possibly/likely stagflation.
Stock market action usually presages these occurrences since stocks typically anticipate economic events months in advance. The action of Feb/March ’26 has initially validated that and corroborated analysis in the Feb ’26 INSIIDE Track:
1-30-26 – “That brings us back to the 40-Year Cycle of Currency War that has been a focus of INSIIDE Track discussions for over a decade…
Prior to and since 2022, INSIIDE Track has repeatedly explained why this new phase should see the ‘demise’ – to one extent or another – of the US Dollar as global currency kingpin.
2025/2026 was projected to usher in a dramatic phase of that new 40-Year Cycle of Currency War – as reinforcing 17-Year Cycles joined forces.
One of those had to do with economic recessions and the likelihood for the next phase to include Stagflation. 17 years from 2009/2010 is 2026/2027 and the time when that challenge was/is likely to emerge and impact our economy. Along with that, there were other inflation-related 17-Year Cycles.”
— February ‘26 INSIIDE Track
3 – 6 month & 6 – 12-month traders and investors could have lightened up on long positions in Jan/Feb – in anticipation of a 1Q ‘26 sell-off. ” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
Stock Indexes have fulfilled multi-month sell signals generated on Feb 11 – 13th and then on Feb 25th. A final spike low is likely taking hold now – on March 30, ’26 (the date with the greatest synergy of daily & weekly Cycle Progressions and timing indicators)… and should be followed by a strong rally in April ’26. The S+P has attacked multi-month support and downside targets near 6419/ESM as the NQ-100 has done the same with its multi-month downside objective at ~23,200/NQ. The DJTA is reinforcing the outlook for a strong rally – initially into April 10/13, ’26.
The outlook for a powerful surge in energy prices (and GSCI) in 1Q ’26 coincides with that as inflation markets continue to portend trouble in 2026, potentially stretching into 2027. That was reinforced by mid-Jan buy signals & subsequent action in Crude & the products. Unleaded Gas is fulfilling Cycle Progression highs on March 30 – April 2, ’26 and a top is expected in this time frame.
