Most traders focus on individual candles and patterns, but price often unfolds in larger cycles. The Quarterly Theory of Price Action explains how a single candle can be divided into four distinct phases, each representing a stage of accumulation, expansion, manipulation, and distribution. Understanding these quarterly cycles helps traders read market structure more effectively, identify higher-probability setups, align with institutional order flow, and gain a deeper perspective on price action across all timeframes. Whether you’re trading forex, stocks, indices, commodities, or crypto, this concept can change the way you interpret charts and market behavior.
