When Three Market Cycles Collide: Why Now Is an Ideal Entry for Portfolio 18

In trading, opportunity often arrives when multiple favorable cycles converge—and that’s exactly where the Stock Index Portfolio 18 stands as we head into the last full week of June and the end of Q2. By aligning three powerful timing signals, we’re positioned for a lower-risk entry with favorable upside potential.
1. Portfolio Cycle: The “12 for 12” Streak
Over the past 12 months, the Stock Index Portfolio 18 has produced positive returns from the 21st calendar day through the second trading day of the following month—every single time. Historical data confirms that this “12 for 12” pattern has been a repeatable cycle that has shown up consistently in recent months.
Why it matters: Initiating a portfolio at a proven seasonal inflection point can markedly reduce initial drawdown and set the stage for strong gains.
2. Drawdown Cycle: Entering at a Sweet Spot
Rather than chasing an equity peak, we prefer to start when our systems are in drawdown. That “dip” often provides better risk/reward: you’re buying when sentiment is cautious, not euphoric. Today, the Stock Index Portfolio 18 has triggered a drawdown‐entry alert—an ideal juncture for new capital deployment.
Why it matters: Beginning on a controlled drawdown means your initial exposure is inherently protected; upside from here tends to feel a lot smoother.
3. Market Cycle: Post-Congestion Breakout Looms
June’s been a chop-fest. Price action has spent weeks trapped in a narrow range. As month-end and quarter-end converge, history tells us congestion begets breakout. Whether it’s a swift trend or a counter-trend pivot, our strategies (V-Reversal, Gap Continuation and more) are built to capitalize on the move, whichever direction it takes.
Why it matters: Extended congestion sets the stage for outsized swings—your entry timing here can capture the lion’s share of the initial thrust.
