Stocks Fulfill August Rally & Prepare for September Swoon; NQ-100 Weekly Trend in Focus.
08-08-26 – “Stock indexes are fulfilling projections for a surge from July 29th into the first half of August with August xx/xx pinpointing the ideal time for the next multi-week peak to take hold. A couple key indexes (NQ-100 & Russell 2000) should help clarify what to expect after that time…
Stock indices have rallied sharply after fulfilling the outlook for a spike low on July 28/29th (when the NQ-100 fulfilled its primary downside target near 27,400/NQU) and the onset of a subsequent 1 – 3 week rally that should spur multiple indexes to new all-time highs.
The late-July lows fulfilled a ~4-month low-low-(low) Cycle Progression that already included significant bottoms in late-Nov ’25 & late-March ’26.
It projects multi-month focus to late-Nov ’26.
(An intervening low at the midpoint – in late-Sept ’26 – is also a possibility.)
That low was/is forecast to trigger an overall rally into the first half of August… That is corroborated by the fact most indexes have already reached or exceeded monthly resistance levels (intra-month upside targets).
Stock indices remain strong and are fulfilling projections for rallies from July 29th… One key filter will be whether or not they close above their August 3rd – 5th highs in the coming days.” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
The NQ-100 set a multi-month (or longer) peak in June ‘26 in lockstep with what was described in 1Q ’26. It quickly triggered reinforcing sell signals that projected an overall decline into late-July ’26 and to multi-month support at ~27,400/NQ… followed by a reactive 2 – 3-week rally in August ’26. The NQ-100 attacked ~27,400 on July 29th – precisely fulfilling that analysis.
This decline is ‘casting shadows ahead’ to September ’26… and then to an even more decisive period in 4Q ‘26!
On an intra-year basis, Stock Indexes surged from a powerful convergence of daily, weekly & monthly Cycle Progressions and timing indicators that projected (well in advance) a multi-month bottom on March 30, ’26. That set the stage for the remainder of 2026 and provided some revealing clues for Sept – Nov ‘26 – including the likely timing of future multi-month lows. As described in late-March ’26:
3-30-26 – “Stock Indices are fulfilling the outlook for a large sell-off in March ’26… 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… 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… it turned its daily trend up… 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.”
