Market Cycle Dynamics

Definition

Market cycle dynamics describe the recurring patterns of expansion and contraction observed in the prices of digital assets. These dynamics typically involve phases such as accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown, driven by shifts in investor psychology, supply and demand, and macroeconomic conditions. Understanding these cycles helps participants anticipate broad market movements and position themselves accordingly. Each phase is characterized by distinct behaviors from different investor cohorts, influencing price action and liquidity.
