When analyzing the 'Emotional Cycle,' why is a 'Selling Climax' considered the end of the panic phase and the start of a new cycle?

  1. The stock's P/E ratio hits a 20-year low, making the stock look 'undervalued' by nearly every fundamental metric available.
  2. Market-makers are required by exchange regulation and listing rules to immediately halt any further decline in a stock following a climax print.
  3. The ultra-high volume indicates that the last of the weak holders have capitulated and their stock has been transferred to professionals.
  4. The news cycle finally turns entirely positive again across every media outlet, allowing analysts to justify a sustained and healthy mark-up phase.
