It looks like a mid session top today near 7820 SPX cash. The 3 TD cycle has shifted by 1 hour. 

The 15 TD cycle was looking at 30 min before mid session for a top. The new moon (early Oct 10) is drawing the market higher.

The heavy short positions may be forced to cover as that happens a lot when you have a crowded trade. There was heavy put buying yesterday on the AI sector.

This will help the market fall harder Monday as the shorts cover their positions today and go neutral. The smart longs will likely liquidate and go to cash after mid session. The exception will be those few who really know what is going on, as the astros this weekend may imply a Trump surprise (Mars made a sextile Uranus Rx early WED). I see SPX 7507/08 by early Monday very possible. Then the 7990's by OCT OPEX.

Oct  9, 2026     4:55 AM   Mercury 10 Scorpio 55 quincunx Saturn Rx 10 Aries 55    Today's News Michigan Survey

Uh, oh, Venus Rx is in the fixed sign of Scorpio and joins the new moon in Scorpio Sunday night.

Oct 13, 2026    10:04 AM   Sun 20 Libra 15 sesquiquadrate Uranus Rx  5 Gemini 15   This may indicate both Trump (Sun sign in Gemini), Putin (Plague?) (Libra) or maybe Netanyahu (Globalist Warmonger) or other notables whose Sun sign is also in Libra may help cause this mini meltdown.

he Sun is in Libra and so is the moon today & will be with the New Moon this weekend. New Moons are notable for being near important tops. The moon changes into Scorpio late Sunday night, so watch out for a catalyst, the waves and cycles are telling me this, not just the astros .

On the SPY (which trades before and after the cash market) we had an "a" wave and then a "b" wave pull back. We are in a "c" wave, which will act more like a final 5th wave (the way it used to act).

The cash SPX indicators are moving up and a ways away before it gets 

overbought.

This timing cycle may also indicate when THE Final TOP may occur next week on OPEX Oct 16, which includes Mars trine Saturn Rx & Pluto changes direction from Rx (Retrograde) to Staionary Dx (Direct).

Oct 16 is also within the 10 TD orb for a major top with the SUN opposite Saturn Rx seen last Sunday when Venus also turned Stationary Rx (Venus Rx happens near corrections and bear markets and won't turn direct again until Nov 13, when Mercury will also go direct after turning Rx on Oct 23). These are important timing tools! I see two important lows: Nov 11 and 17 and then up into late Nov/early Dec before we see more selling into January and ultimately into early March. The biggest part of the crash will likely be Oct 16-Nov 11, IMHO for what it's worth.

I will be buying way out of the money puts today for Monday only. I bought a couple of at the money call contracts yesterday that expire today. I will share how much I bought and how much I made this weekend and Monday. I will then be going long calls into OPEX.

are buying in the real estate sector with full hands. Can anybody here confirm or deny ? Is there anybody who has got information about that ? I would guess if that is true, it means nothing good for the stock market

in 2027. Western national debts are enormous in some key countries, the AI sector is in a bubble and if these two realities start to fall, he crypto currency market will implode. All the ingredients are there for a big big 

bear market because for sure you cannot pay debts making bigger debts and when this Ponzi scheme starts to crumble, AI and cryptos will fall with it. Only thing that I tend to believe is that there should be a 

last trip to the upside for the stock market, before the crisis materializes.    

This is one way the market sniffs out tail risk. The VIX was at 15.77 a little while ago while the VVIX, which measures the volatility inside the Vix, was at 88.9. A ratio of 88.9/15.77=5.6 ratio, that's elevated no doubt. That tells us that the cost of crash protection is high(VIX spike) So, while regular volatility is cheap, hedges against the Vix spike are expensive. We all see what's happening in the bonds market. Its the right time for election volatility to  start. Oct. 2nd saw the highest credit spreads,.312, since obliteration day. Now, I see Crypto is getting pounded. The first things to look for, that might precede a spike is HYG breaking down below $76.39, and the 10 year rising over 5.36. That doesn't mean it will happen but odds start increasing it will.

 I looked at the 22-spikes last year, VIX pricing is the close to the same, but bonds and credit are weaker. The good news 9is we will only see a spike in the VIX to upper 20s maybe 30. The bad news; my Fearless Forecast has been really close so far, it calls for a drop for two weeks, then a bounce in to the election, then down800-1000 point until the end of the year and aVIX spike to the upper 50s. Looking around everybody still expects the "Grind" in to year end to be favorable. The traditional big rally. Most people don't capitalize on shorts, so it wouldn't bother me if I am wrong. I'll play it either.way. I expect the Hyper scaler earnings to cause volatility, the quality isn't there. They have gotten a pass so far and are worse than Joe 6 pack suspects. Time to get honest? I have a lot to say about this and will try and find time to post (JMHO)

Oil may get down to the 75 dollar level by early November. Long term Martin Armstrong's AI says over 200 dollar oil is coming, he expects war to escalate in 1st quarter 2027 and keep going into 2028, Europe will lose the war, go bankrupt and breakup in 2029. The USA will also break up into 3 countries by 2034 after his major pi cycle date of 2032.95.  China will become the financial center of the world and largest economy after 2032. Western Canada will break away from Eastern Canada with the largest deposit of recoverable oil in the world.                                                                                                      Alberta possesses the largest total oil endowment on Earth — more than Saudi Arabia or Venezuela. As emerging extraction technologies mature over the coming decade, a far greater portion of Alberta’s resource will become recoverable, ultimately surpassing Saudi Arabia’s recoverable reserves.
Current estimates place Alberta’s total oil‑in‑place at 1.8–2.2 trillion barrels. With advanced extraction methods such as solvent‑only recovery, electromagnetic heating, and in‑situ upgrading, Alberta’s future recoverable reserves could reach 300–900 billion barrels — making Alberta the world’s largest source of commercially extractable oil.
This represents tens of trillions of dollars in long‑term economic value, especially if global oil prices rise as projected by analysts such as Martin Armstrong. Alberta’s resource wealth is so large that its future political autonomy will inevitably become a central national issue.

#2 Saudi Arabia 170–200B barrels

#3 Venezuela 75–120B barrels.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

The QQQ/$NDX/$COMPQ continue to make new ATH's, while the $SPX is less than 1% away. It's only a matter of time before the Dow catches up to all the fun happening in these nosebleed seats. We're going higher, much higher. 

Remember, all dips are buying opportunities. While 2-3% pullbacks aren't out of the question, the trend is up and remains up until proven otherwise. Therefore, a meaningful top is not going to happen until there simply aren't anymore bears left to fight the trend. I don't see that happening until the markets are at least 20-30% higher from current levels. 

Watch the sky!
