TimeCycleLab is a research publication on the cycle work of Terry Laundry — the framework known as T-Theory — and bringing it into a quantifiable form.
1) The cash build-up in the S&P 500 here still looks like it’s forming. In T Theory a build-up isn’t finished until the volume oscillator stops making descending peaks — and right now I’d read this one as incomplete, still laying down the left side of the T.
2) My expectation: it resolves, the S&P spikes higher to end at the July volume-oscillator T. That’s the construction’s natural right-end date — the cash accumulated on the left side fuels the rally across the matching span on the right.
3) After that is where it gets interesting. In T Theory, once a T’s time span is set, there are only two ways its right side can resolve. The bullish T uses the built-up cash to carry the S&P higher. The bearish T takes the same build-up, but the money never comes back in — investors stay in a selling mood — and the right side collapses.
4) The character of the Ts looks like it’s shifting toward that second kind. So — unless something news-driven emerges that changes the picture — I’d expect a more meaningful decline in the S&P to follow the July peak, not another leg up.
5) We’re approaching a very interesting window. Summertime first, winter eventually. When the character of the Ts starts to turn, the calendar tends to start mattering more. Watching closely.
