The 17-Year Cycle Redux?
01-05-26 – 2026 presents a unique opportunity – from a cycle perspective – to provide dual fulfillment to one of the most intriguing and consistent multi-year cycles addressed (continuously) in this publication:
The 17-Year Cycle.
In late-2024/early-2025, INSIIDE Track detailed expectations – based on that cycle and a myriad of corroborating Cycle Progressions & timing indi cators – for stocks & stock indexes to suffer a multi-month plunge of 20 – 30% and bottom in late-March/early-April ‘25.
That would fulfill the ongoing 17-Year Cycle of Stock Market Declines dating back over a century AND set the stage (’4-Shadow’) for a potentially more challenging time in 2026.
At the time, the forecast was for stocks to plummet into early-April ‘25 but then rebound rapidly. A rally to higher highs – based on monthly trend indicators & 21 MACs as well as multi-year Cycle Progressions – was the ideal scenario.
That would lead into 1Q 2026 – when the 2-Year Cycle & 4-Year Cycle would return to portend new declines. What could trigger this?
