Stock Indices Reinforce March 30th Multi-Month Lows & Potential April Surges!

04-08-26 – “Just as stock market plunges do not arrive without warning, stock market rallies are usually presaged by multiple factors.  In the current case, the DJTA was a critical ‘outlier’ that projected a surge to new all-time highs in April ‘26 – from March 30th into April 10/13, ’26.  That was explained in multiple publications, including the April ’26 INSIIDE Track:

3-30-26 – “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… The NQ-100 led this topping process, peaking in late-Oct ’25 while fulfilling a myriad of timing indicators and Cycle Progressions… 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…

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… 

Stock Indices fulfilled the outlook for a large sell-off in March ’26, validating the outlook 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 into [reserved for subscribers]…

There is an interesting analogue that has been developing in the DJIA… that bears monitoring since it has many intriguing aspects to it.  It has to do with similarities to the last time the DJIA (and other indexes) turned the weekly trend down…[reserved for subscribers]…”  TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!


Stock Indexes fulfilled multi-month sell signals generated on Feb 11 – 13th and then on Feb 25th.  The 2-Year4-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?
