A quién sirve esta entrada — Phasing analysis produces a map of dated lows: this is its handwriting. One glance at the diamond stack and you know which cycle just touched bottom — and hence how much push sits underneath.
Fuente: JM Hurst's Cycles Course (Cyclitec, ≈1973) and the Hickson / Sentient Trader tradition. A course convention — it does not appear in the 1970 book.
The convention
In phasing analysis every identified trough is marked with a diamond under the bar of the low:
| Mark | Meaning |
|---|---|
| One diamond | The trough of one specific cycle |
| A stack of diamonds | Synchronized lows of several cycles (the synchronicity principle in action) |
| A taller stack | A longer cycle just bottomed → more push coming |
| The lowest diamond in the stack | The shortest cycle of the conjunction |
The stack is the graphical version of Ch. 8's nest of lows: when all cycles bottom together, the diamond column is tall — and that is where the book bought Screw and Bolt.
How it is used
- The first diamond comes from phasing's entry: the dominant cycle's trough.
- The extension fills the chart backward and forward with the shorter cycles' diamonds.
- The completion climbs the hierarchy: every long low must rest on a stack of short lows — no stack, revise the phasing.
The operational reading is immediate: the height of the next expected stack says how far the move born from it can go; its expected date comes from the model's current wavelengths.
Summary card
| Element | Value |
|---|---|
| Mark | Diamond under the low; stacks for synchronized lows |
| Reading | Tall stack = long-cycle trough = more push |
| Kinship | Ch. 8's nest of lows, made systematic handwriting |
| Source | Cycles Course ≈1973 — not the 1970 book |
