Written by Christopher Hall, AdvDipFP | Authorised Representative, AFSL 526688 | Updated April 2026 Analysis sourced from Gary Glover (AR 259215) Repeating stock patterns — the tendency of the same stock to form the same setup across multiple market cycles — are one of the most overlooked edges in momentum trading.

Midterm Election Year Stock Market Cycles: The Complete Guide for ASX Traders in 2026
The midterm election year stock market cycle is a recurring seasonal pattern in which US equity markets peak around April, weaken through to October, then recover into year-end. This cycle has repeated across the majority of midterm years since 1950. In 2026, a specific variant has activated — the B-cycle inversion — in which markets sold off INTO April rather than topping there.
