Time Cycle
Of The Financial MarketNo Candle Stands Alone — Every One Belongs To A Bigger Chain
No Decision Happens At A Single Point
Time Cycle theory, as taught by MJ Pipal, says that reading the market on just one timeframe is always incomplete. Every chain has two dimensions — the first shows what's on the screen right now, the second decides what should follow that pivot.
What You See On The Chart
This is raw price action — whichever timeframe is open, its candle pattern and pivot. It's a single snapshot, not the whole story.
The Chain That Decides What's Next
Every timeframe connects to the next one through a fixed sequence. That sequence determines which universe the market moves into after the pivot.
"Time Cycle plays a major role in market analysis because we can never make a decision at just one point in time. What we see is the first dimension, and the second dimension will decide what should happen in the first — and this chain helps us understand that."
Two Universes — Top And Bottom
Timeframes sitting on the high pivots of the zigzag belong to one universe, and the ones on the low pivots belong to another. They're named separately so the chain is easier to follow.
Top Universe
The upper points on the zigzag — from 1m all the way to 1Y — all belong to this universe. Click any timeframe to see what its next step excludes.
Bottom Universe
The lower points on the zigzag — from 3m to Decade — follow a completely separate sequence, with its own chain.
