Reading the market cycle end to end
Consolidation, expansion, retracement, and reversal are one repeating loop, not four separate setups.
Phases of price: reversal
A reversal needs a swept terminal pool, a failed continuation, and a broken protected swing, not just a deep pullback.
Phases of price: retracement
A retracement continues the leg it interrupted, and the protected swing holding is the only proof that matters.
Phases of price: expansion
Expansion is displacement with conviction, and the first pullback into what it leaves behind is the trade.
