Stock Indices Reach Multi-Month Downside Targets; Portend Multi-Month Lows & Sharp Rallies!
03-31-26 – “Stock Indices stretched their declines into the late-March/early-April ’26 time frame – the ideal 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. The weekly trends and HLS indicators focused on this week – March 30 – April 2, ’26 – as the ideal time for an intermediate low.
The NQ-100 fulfilled the minimum necessary for a blow-off low, dropping right to its multi-month downside target while fulfilling 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 a daily 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 was the ideal scenario and represented .618 – .667 of that cycle – projecting a low on March 25 – March 30, ’26.
As discussed last week, that made March 30, ’26 the most synergistic with regard to both weekly Cycle Progressions. A low on March 30th 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.
So far, that is what the NQ-100 has done.
In addition, March 30, ’26 was the minimum time objective for the DJIA to set another multi-month low – which it has done every 25 – 26 weeks since Oct ’23. It attacked its 1 – 2-month (minimum) downside target near 45,000, corroborating those timing indicators and pinpointing the ideal time for a low.
Today’s rallies provided initial validation to that scenario but the indexes would need to turn their daily trends up and neutralize their daily 21 MACs to signal that (at least) a 1 – 2 week low is forming. The DJIA, S+P 500 & NQ-100 quickly surged to their weekly resistance levels and need to close above today’s highs to reinforce a developing low.” 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 (March 30, ’26 was/is 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 and possibly into late-April ‘26. That could be the onset of an overall advance into July ’26, in sync with NQ-100 & DJIA discussions. Price action needs to corroborate.
Multiple timing indicators pinpointed late-March/early-April ’26 as the most likely time for multi-month lows to take hold – with the DJIA, S+P 500 & NQ-100 powerfully corroborating that outlook and now attacking Major downside targets. Many tech stocks already fulfilled 17YC projections for 30 – 50% declines and are also signaling multi-month bottoms.
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 an initial top is expected in this time frame. May – July ’26 is when broader monthly Cycle Progressions peak.
