The 80-Day Clock

Where the S&P 500 sits in the cycle its own rhythm fits best — updated from end-of-day data.

Loading the current read… (end-of-day data)

Deterministic estimates from delayed end-of-day data, for study — the same public read as the Cycle Deck. Not signals, not advice, not a prediction. An "average" cycle is exactly that: real cycles run long and short.

What the end of a cycle means (the method, in brief)
  • The trough window. As the count matures, the method stops hunting longs and starts watching for the nest of lows — the cluster where the 20, 40 and 80-day cycles bottom together.
  • The one line. The 20-day FLD — median price pushed forward half a cycle. How price crosses it at a cycle's end is the whole read, and it's teachable in a week.
  • The cascade. A real turn shows up as 20, then 40, then 80 — the visible record of a whole market turning, in order.
  • Flat is a position. Inside a straddled trough the method's rule is to stand aside. Knowing when not to trade is half of what the clock is for.
