Market Update — May 25, 2026

The E-mini futures appear to have made a double top near the May 14 high. That is important because this high is developing directly into a tight cluster of lunar timing dates, price-square projections, and planetary longitude cycles.

The Lunar Time Cycle dates shown below identify important pivot windows on May 25 and May 31. Since May 25 falls on a Monday, the expectation is that Tuesday could mark the high, followed by a retreat into Friday, May 29.

The primary square ends on June 1, and the next Lunar Time Cycle date is May 31. These two dates are very close together, which strengthens the case that the market should carve out a low near Friday, May 29, or into the June 1 completion of the primary square.

The March 30 low at 6316 also produces another important timing relationship:

The 6316 price level can also be converted into a time value by dividing it by 1440 minutes in a day:

This places May 26 in the mid-range of the 7/8 division heading into the end of the square, while May 30 aligns with the completion of the primary square. This gives us another timing cluster surrounding May 26 through June 1.

The Moon’s North Node also shows an important longitudinal speed change on May 23, 2026. This date falls directly inside the same timing window, adding another layer of confirmation to the May 22 through June 1 cluster.

Mercury’s longitudinal speed is also changing on March 26, 2026. This adds another important planetary timing marker to the overall structure, especially because it ties back into the March 30 low and the later Mercury projection into May 26.

The next Moon Apogee date is June 1, which arrives right at the end of the primary square. That should mark an important low, especially if the market follows through with weakness during the coming week of May 26 through May 29.

The main point is that this is not one isolated date. We now have several independent timing methods all pointing into the same zone: May 22, May 23, May 25, May 26, May 29, May 31, and June 1.

When multiple timing methods compress into the same window, those dates deserve attention. My working view is that strength into Tuesday should be treated cautiously, with the potential for the market to retreat into the late-week window and complete a low near May 29 through June 1.
