What is Cycle High?

Cycle High is a wave, cycle or harmonic charting concept used to organize market swings into recurring sequences or proportional relationships. It is interpretive rather than a deterministic pricing model.

Cycle High matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss wave and cycle interpretation. These frameworks provide a vocabulary for sequencing swings and comparing proportional relationships across price and time.

How to read Cycle High

Read Cycle High as a structured hypothesis about swing sequence or proportionality. Alternative counts or anchors are often possible, which is why independent market evidence is important.

What Cycle High does not tell you

It focuses on an upper price, range or participation reference and should be read relative to the surrounding timeframe. Different analysts can apply discretionary frameworks differently, so reproducibility requires explicit rules and anchor choices.

Use in bonds, rates and macro markets

They are interpretive technical-analysis frameworks, not deterministic models of rates or bond valuation, and should be presented with explicit uncertainty.

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.
