market cycle


Definition
Periodic up-down, high-low movements that happen in all markets; any price that goes up must come down too. In stock markets, a market cycle is said to be complete when the Standard & Poor composite index (S&P 500) is 15 percent above the lowest point or 15 percent below the highest point. The stock market cycle is a leading indicator of business cycle, and mirrors changing investor sentiments.
