market-cycle-oriented

Try to reveal hidden cyclicality, rhythm, or alternating phases in the price-volatility structure. Avoid simple moving-average crossovers or standard trend indicators; seek higher-level temporal dynamics.

Market Cycle Exploration

Investigate periodic or phase-shift patterns from OHLCV sequences:

• smooth transformations of returns or log(price) to reveal cyclical oscillations;
• phase difference between short-term and long-term smoothed price signals;
• normalized curvature of cumulative returns or EMA trajectories;
• alternating volatility compression/expansion interpreted as "cycle turns";
• dynamic amplitude measures (e.g., ratio of short/long energy in returns).

Encourage creativity: discover alternative representations of cyclical energy, hidden harmonics, or state oscillations beyond conventional moving averages.
