International and Market Overview
The U.S. inventory market stays resilient and is prone to keep agency into January 2026. October is commonly a bullish month seasonally, however we anticipate a big turning level round October 17–19, adopted by a minor correction that unfolds into early November. This October excessive shouldn’t be mistaken for the ultimate high however slightly as a vital punctuation level within the unfolding cycle.

On the similar time, Jupiter squares the Solar on October seventeenth for optimism as Jupiter prepares to enter Most cancers, bringing each optimism and overextension. Then again, the Solar in Libra (Oct. 17 – Nov. 17) usually coincides with wavering confidence and weaker management. Essentially the most difficult section arrives in Swati Nakshatra (Oct. 23 – early Nov.), when indecision and volatility usually peak.

Wanting additional forward, notable struggle cycle home windows seem in mid-January 2026, June 2026, and once more throughout Oct. 17–31, 2025, when the Solar is at its weakest in Libra.
