Engulfing Cycle 2.0

## Cycle-Phased Price Action Tool — Overview

This indicator highlights **high-impact moments** in price action by combining a **candlestick-based trigger** with a **cycle-phase timing approach** and broad context filters.

### What it aims to do

* Emphasize situations where price shows a **clear shift in control** between buyers and sellers.
* Reduce noise by focusing on signals that occur in **more meaningful timing windows** within a repeating market rhythm.

### Context & quality checks

* Signals are conditioned by a general **directional environment** filter, so they’re less likely to appear against unstable conditions.
* A momentum “sanity check” helps avoid entries when price looks **too stretched**.
* Activity/participation can be used as confirmation to prioritize **stronger reactions**.

### Cycle timing logic

* The indicator tracks market swings and assigns each moment to a **phase** of the current move.
* It prioritizes two key phases:

* an **early phase**, where new movement often starts to form,
* a **mid phase**, where continuation or decisive turning behavior is more likely to show up.

### How it’s used

* Treat signals as **attention markers**, not automatic entries.
* It works best when combined with basic structure reading (levels, ranges, and obvious swing areas).

### Best conditions

* Markets with **clean swings** and repeatable movement patterns.
* Less effective in extremely choppy, compressed ranges where timing signals can cluster.

*For educational use only. Always test across symbols and timeframes before relying on it.*
