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.

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

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

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.
