I noticed an interesting chart that shows economic cycles and helps identify periods for earning. The idea is simple, but useful for understanding market dynamics.
Everything is broken down into three key periods. The first is the years of panic, when crises happen and prices fall. The second is periods of prosperity with high prices, when it’s worth selling. The third is tough times with low prices—ideal for buying assets.
The theory is based on cyclical market patterns. These periods repeat at certain intervals, which makes it possible to forecast conditions. People often mention an 18-year cycle in real estate or an 80-year debt cycle—such schemes are linked to the works of Kondratiev, Kleya, and Gann. Of course, this is not scientific proof, but it’s very useful for analysis and strategy planning.
Right now, I’m looking at the current crypto market data. Bitcoin is holding at around 80.47K, up 0.93% over the day. BNB shows 682.70, up 1.75%. Ethereum is at 2.25K, but with a slight drop of 0.21%.
It’s interesting to observe how these earning periods show up in real market movements. If you believe in cyclical theory, understanding these rhythms can help you navigate buying and selling moments better. Of course, everyone decides for themselves whether to believe in such cycles, but ignoring historical patterns would be a mistake.
