Current Puetz Crash Window: Aug 22 – Aug 31 According to Stephen Puetz’s research, major market crashes have historically clustered after the first full moon following a solar eclipse — when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse. Important note: While the biggest crashes tended to fall inside these windows, not every window produces a crash. Puetz himself emphasized: “Not every eclipse turns into a crash… you need a bubble to have a crash.” Window = 6 days before to 3 days after the lunar-eclipse full moon. Markets often peak 2–4 days prior, then selling can intensify for 2–4 weeks. Last solar eclipse: Aug 12, 2026 Next lunar-eclipse full moon: Aug 28, 2026 PS: This is solid research, but it is not my crash prediction.
