Stocks Spike Lower in August 20 – 22nd Cycle Lows; Portend Multi-Month Low.

08-22-25 – “Stock indexes rallied sharply after the NQ-100 fulfilled the outlook for a quick, sharp drop into Aug 20 – 22nd and a (minimum) 1 – 2 week low at that time.  The tech-laden index dropped into Aug 21st and then spiked lower and reversed higher on August 22nd – leaving its daily uptrend intact.

It precisely fulfilled a geometric ~1-month/~30-degree low-low cycle – from the April 21, May 23 & June 20/23 lows – with Aug 20/21st pinpointing the latest phase of a related low-low-low-(low; Aug 20/21st) Cycle Progression in the NQ-100.

August 21st was also the earliest the NQ-100 could turn its daily trend down – a setup that often times a multi-day low, whether or not that daily trend turns down.  In this case, the fact the daily trend did not turn down portends a rally back to [reserved for subscribers]…

Multiple price factors helped pinpoint the recent low.  The daily trend indicator was one of them and was corroborated by the NQ-100 spiking down to (and briefly below) its weekly HLS – the extreme downside target for this past week.

It did that while almost perfectly matching the magnitude of the previous late-July/early-August pullback.  The daily HLS indicator (attacked on Aug 20th, increasing the likelihood for a low and reversal higher on August 21st or 22nd) added to the synergy projecting that recent low.

Also, as stated multiple times over the past 2 – 3 weeks, a multi-week low on August 20 – 22nd – if fulfilled as anticipated – would reinforce [reserved for subscribers]…

In the interim, the NQ-100 is providing another near-term scenario that would reinforce this broader, overall one.  After attacking & holding its weekly HLS this past week, the NQ-100 is primed to spike up to an opposing weekly LHR in the coming week(s)…”   TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!


Stock Indexes fulfilled projections for quick, sharp drops into August 20 – 22nd – the ideal time for the latest intermediate low.  That is expected to trigger a new 2 – 4-week and possible 2 – 4-month advance (into Nov/Dec ‘25) IF specific criteria are met in late-August & early-September.  (Another 16 – 18-week rally – if it begins in late-August – would mature in late-2025 when more significant cycles peak.)

~8-Week & ~16-Week Cycle Progressions are bullish and next recur in late-Sept & late-Nov ’25.  Monthly trend indicators are being reinforced by intra-year trends turning up in multiple indexes… providing another bullish factor into late-2025.

Gold cycles also bottomed at the same time and portend a new rally into Oct/Nov ‘25.  Platinum & Palladium are similar.
