Cyclic analysis is an approach to financial markets that assumes prices do not move only randomly or in straight trends, but incorporate recurring oscillations — cycles — with recognizable periods and phases.
Initial draft — to be expanded with charts, video, and Emiciclo teaching material.
Definition
A market cycle is a movement that repeats over time with a certain periodicity. Cyclic analysis aims to:
- Identify dominant cycles on an instrument or index
- Measure period and amplitude
- Determine the current phase (expansion, crest, contraction, trough)
- Estimate timing of upcoming turning points
Why it matters
- Provides a time framework complementary to trend and momentum
- Helps contextualize entries and exits
- Combines with other forms of analysis (it does not replace them)
