Market cycles are the basic foundation of how I invest and guide others in learning how to invest also.
There are 5 Phase within a full market cycle:
Accumulation: Flat price range - Low end of cycle
Early Bull Trend - Price breaks out above accumulation range
Parabolic Run - Price velocity accelerates to the upside
Volatility/Fast Crash - Price corrects with a greater percentage than seen before within current cycle
Slow Grind - Low volatility as price continues to the downside. Typically ends in capitulation
