This image is the Chinese Zodiac cycle layered with a Stop / Caution / Go framework. Every year rotates through the same 12 animals. What changes is who’s winning, who’s early, and who’s late. - 🟢 Green (Go) years = expansion, momentum, risk-on behavior - 🟡 Yellow (Caution) years = chop, fakeouts, distribution - 🔴 Red (Stop) years = contraction, fear, resets Markets don’t move randomly — human behavior is cyclical. Liquidity, risk appetite, greed, and fear repeat… just under different narratives. Most people lose because they treat every year the same. Veterans adjust position size, time horizon, and aggression based on the phase. You don’t fight the cycle. You align with it. Remember this chart. It won’t tell you what to buy — but it will tell you how aggressive you should be when you do.
