Akhil Patel: There are other cycles at play that drive stock market movements. However, the major bull and bear market in stocks fit within the main phases of the 18 year cycle. For example a study of market history shows that following the cycle peak in property, the Dow Jones falls by around 45 – 55 per cent. The important point is that stocks always crash first (before the end of the property cycle) and they always recover first (as a leading indicator of the coming recovery and then boom).
