The CPI came out a little hotter than expected, and futures are down some off of previous highs. Keep in mind that this is an X wave and they can be very erratic!

The possible SPX cash range today: SPX 7830 to 7710.  7710 minimum is still expected sometime today then much higher into Friday to at least SPX 7887.

people walking in t-shirt, here at the latitude of Austria more or less. Never seen before. The weather of June in advanced October. When I was a kid we used to play football outdoor, our hands were 

red in October and violet in November, due to coldness. Now we are in t-shirt. Great.......   

The troops are shooting the generals (fromer tech leaders) and that is why the SPX is flat as it is a hybrid index. My target for WED is SPX 7533. The VIX (volatility index) is primed for a large move up and it is positively diverging (NEG for market).

It looks like to me that WTI Crude is about to shoot up to $116 by WED. I know that the CPI comes out WED, but I don't think that will be the catalyst for the drop.

Today is Columbus Day and Banks are closed and so is the bond market.  Liquidity tends to be low on this day.

By Oct 29th, I see the SPX well up over 8000 (8030/40 range).

The current astros:

Oct 10, 2026     5:31 PM   Venus Rx  7 Scorpio 21 square  Mars  7 Leo 21

Oct 13, 2026    10:04 AM   Sun 20 Libra 15 sesquiquadrate Uranus Rx  5 Gemini 15

With OIL prices looking primed to skyrocket over the next two days, the above astros look warlike. I said before that Putin (Libra) may be involved and likewise Trump (Gemini). I can't rule out the Zionist Netanyahu (Libra) either, as he is pissed that Trump is taking Russian PM Putin's side over Ukraine's Zelensky, as Trump is trying to get diesal prices down before the election on Nov 3.

So far, Zelensky says Putin is still attacking them. Zelensky is an Aquarian. His moon is in Leo, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Leo, Uranus in Scorpio.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which is Rx now and in Gemini. His Venus is also in Aquarius and is now in Scorpio. Mars is in Leo right now.  His Jupiter is in Gemini with Uranus now and his Uranus is in Scorpio where Venus is right now. Last week, Mars in Leo made a harmonius sextile to Uranus Rx and then Trump tries to make this deal. This looks more like Zelensky and Putin here, than Netanyahu.

Currently, there are members of Congress who are ticked at Trump for trying to do this, but clearly neither they or European leaders are telling the truth about this situation that the globalist beast sytem had set up, namely the clear violation of the 2014 Minsk Agreement. Russia is not the aggressor, but only defending their people in the Donetsk region.

We are in a CID (change in direction) due around the new moon Oct 9/12.

it seems that Europe and the US are no longer on the same side with regards to Russia. 

The next move from Ukrainian government will be probably the complete destruction of all Russian refineries which thing they are already currently doing 

According to my turn probability summation system, the days this coming week with the highest odds of seeing a turn in or acceleration of the current trend in the DJIA are Monday October 12th and Friday October 16th.

Last week the Monday the 5th turn window was probably just part of the end of the previous week's turn window in blue, and the Wednesday the 7th turn window only tagged a minor mid-week low as shown in red in the marketwatch.com plot excerpt below, so both were pretty much duds.  Last week's crash risk window obviously was also a dud, so all in all a pretty lousy week for the system.  

As I noted above the crash window once again struck out, but it will have another time at bat around the election in the first week of November.  A black swan of one sort or another is almost guaranteed that week, so maybe the battered crash system will stand a better chance then of hitting one out of the park.

On Wednesday and Thursday of this coming week we will get the latest BLS magic inflation numbers.  Despite what the BLS will probably report, the high cost of low living in America is starting to bite folks where the sun don't shine.  Sooner or later I suspect this will have serious consequences, maybe in the first week of November noted above.  Since neither inflation report day is a turn window, I assume both bits of data will be tame and more or less in line with expectations.  Next Friday Fed Head Kevin will step up to the mic and deliver his take on the state of inflation.  Given the turn window that day, maybe he will provide a little market excitement. 

Recently spikes in the Put/Call ratio have done a pretty good job of tagging bottoms and tops in the S&P as shown in green in the plot below.   Currently it's once again pointing higher, but if Monday's turn window is worth its salt, that should be short lived.
