Stock Indices Fulfilling Projected April Surges; Could Extend into Late-April. Are Multi-Month Lows Intact?
04-11-26 – “Stock Indices fulfilled the outlook for a large sell-off in March ’26, validating projections for a multi-week (or longer) low to take hold in the days surrounding March 30, ’26… and are fulfilling the outlook for strong rallies…
There are two weekly timing factors that should also be considered. They could allow for a subsequent (divergent?) spike to higher highs in late-April ’26 in some indexes. The first is the weekly trend. It helped pinpoint the March 30th lows and signaled a reactive 2 – 3-week rebound…
The second is a consistent ~3-month/~90-degree high (July 28-31, ’25) – high (Oct 29, ’25) high (Jan 28, ’26) – (high; April 27 – 30, ’26) Cycle Progression in the NQ-100 & S+P 500 that could produce a rebound high – at least in those indexes – near the end of April ’26. That would also complete a 50% time rebound in those indexes…
Crude Oil, Unleaded Gas & Heating Oil surged dramatically into late-March ’26 fulfilling projections for a major low in early-Jan followed by a sharp 1Q ’26 surge. The early-Jan ‘26 lows fulfilled Heating Oil’s ~8-month low-low-low-low Cycle Progression and projected a 1Q ’26 rally.
Unleaded Gas surged into March 31st, when Cycle Progressions converged, fulfilling its Jan 5 – 9, ’26 outside-week/2 Close Reversal buy signal (and late-Jan weekly 21 MAC signal). It also completed a .618 rally in time.
At the same time, the XLE & XOI fulfilled multi-month Cycle Progressions by surging into late-March ‘26, including a ~23-month high (Jly ’18) – high (June ’20) – high (May ’22) – high (April ’24) – (high; Mar ’26) Cycle Progression & a ~6-month/ ~26-week high (Oct ’23) – high (Apr ’24) – high (Oct ’24) – high/low (Mar/Apr ’25) – high (Sept 22-26 ’25) – (high; Mar 23 – 27, ’26) Cycle Sequence.
That also came within a few days of precisely fulfilling a ~6-year high (2Q 2008) – high (2Q 2014) – high (2Q 2020) – (high; 2Q 2026) Cycle Progression. That broader cycle would still allow for additional highs in the coming months, but corroborates the other cycles just cited.
On a broader basis, Unleaded Gas has a consistent ~4-year cycle that timed peaks (at least 6 – 12 months & often 1 – 2 years in duration) in May – July 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 & 2022… projecting a similar peak in May – July 2026.” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
Stock Indexes fulfilled multi-month sell signals generated on Feb 11 – 13th and then on Feb 25th. The 2-Year, 4-Year & 17-Year Cycles combined to project a sharp decline in 1Q 2026… and a culminating low in the days surrounding March 30, 2026 – when the greatest synergy of Cycle Progressions and timing indicators converged.
All three primary indexes attacked multi-month downside targets (~45,000/DJIA, ~6419/ESM & ~23,200/NQ) – fulfilling price objectives for the first half of 2026. Many tech stocks fulfilled 17-Year Cycle projections for 30 – 50% declines and are also signaled multi-month bottoms.
That ushered in a potential multi-month bottom in sync with an uncanny geometric cycle in the DJIA and the textbook scenario for the ~8-Month Cycle Progression in the NQ-100. The NQ-100 projects an overall surge into late-April ’26 that could be the first phase of an overall advance into July ’26, in sync with NQ-100 & DJIA discussions of the past two months. Price action needs to corroborate.
The outlook for a powerful surge in energy prices (and GSCI) in 1Q ’26 coincided 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 could stretch a more significant peak into May – July ’26 – when broader monthly Cycle Progressions peak.
Why Did March 30, ’26 Likely Time Multi-Month Low in Stock Indexes?
How Does This Validate & Reinforce July ’26 Cycle Progressions?
What Does DJIA ~6-Month/~180-Degree Cycle Portend for 3Q 2026?
