The Market Participant Cycle for Stocks

One of the most important aspects of the stock market is the Market Participant Cycle. This is a cycle that creates the long-term, mid-term and short-term trends. Each Market Participant has a completely different price and trend pattern on stock charts. Identifying which Market Participant(s) are in control of price is crucial for selecting when to buy or sell a stock.

The most important Market Participants are the Dark Pools. There are 14 Market Participant groups that trade or invest in the stock market. If you read or hear retail news that states: "Investors are worried about..." you need to ask yourself WHICH Market Participant are they talking about?

The market is NOT a herd mentality. That only occurs within the retail groups who do not understand or even know about the Market Participant Cycle.
