Descriptive, not a guaranteed forecast

What is Action Reaction Lines?

Action Reaction Lines is a geometric or ratio-based charting tool used to map proportional relationships in price or time. It creates reference levels from chosen anchors; those levels are analytical conventions rather than fundamental valuation inputs.

Action Reaction Lines matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss mapping proportional price and time levels. These tools impose structured ratios or angles on a chart so analysts can compare retracements, extensions and time relationships consistently.

How to read Action Reaction Lines

Read Action Reaction Lines as a map of reference levels created from explicit anchors. If the anchor points change, the geometry changes, so the analyst should be able to explain why those particular points were selected.

What Action Reaction Lines does not tell you

The term should be read as descriptive chart language rather than as a self-contained forecast. Different analysts can apply discretionary frameworks differently, so reproducibility requires explicit rules and anchor choices.

Use in bonds, rates and macro markets

They are discretionary charting frameworks rather than fundamental fixed-income models; BondStats presents them as chart terminology, not as validated forecasting rules.

BondStats interpretation rule

Technical chart structures are context, not certainty. BondStats does not present a candlestick, drawing tool, indicator reading or chart pattern as a standalone investment recommendation. Where a concept depends on discretionary anchors or parameter choices, those choices should be made explicit.
