Cycle Trading

Stocks printed a bearish reversal on Tuesday.

Tuesday was day 27 for the daily equity cycle. That places stocks 3 days shy of their timing band to seek out a daily cycle low. Stocks formed a bearish reversal after breaking out to a new high on Tuesday. The bearish reversal eases the parameters for forming a swing high. A break below 2472.99 will form a swing high to signal that stocks have begun their daily cycle decline.

As we discussed here last week, even if stocks form a daily swing high to begin their daily cycle decline the bigger picture is that stocks are in a daily uptrend. This uptrend is characterized by peaks above the upper daily cycle band and lows forming above the lower daily cycle band. So even is stocks decline into a daily cycle low, they will remain in their daily uptrend until they close below the lower daily cycle band.
