Pentarch is the flagship. The one indicator that, if you could only choose one, would give you the most complete picture of market structure. It is called The Sovereign because all other analysis begins here—with understanding where you are in the cycle.
Most indicators tell you what happened. Pentarch tells you where you are—which phase of the market cycle is currently unfolding, and what comes next if the pattern completes.
This is not prediction. This is recognition. The cycle exists whether you see it or not. Pentarch simply makes it visible.
The Five Phases
Markets move in cycles. This is not theory—it's observable fact, repeated across every asset class, every timeframe, every market condition. The names change. The structure doesn't.
Pentarch maps five distinct phases:
The eternal cycle: Accumulation → Markup → Distribution → Climax → Decline
Touchdown TD
What it means: Selling exhaustion. The market has been falling, sellers are depleted, and smart money is quietly accumulating. This is the early reversal signal at cycle lows—the moment when fear peaks but the bottom is forming.
Ignition IGN
What it means: The uptrend has sparked. Momentum shifts upward with conviction. This confirms that accumulation is complete and the markup phase has begun. Buyers are in control.
Warning WRN
What it means: Hidden weakness in rising prices. The market is still going up, but the internal structure is deteriorating. Smart money is distributing—selling into the strength while retail chases. This is the signal most traders miss.
Climax CAP
What it means: Buying exhaustion. The top is forming. Volume spikes as late buyers rush in, but institutional selling absorbs it all. Euphoria peaks. The ceiling has been reached.
Breakdown BDN
What it means: The downtrend begins. Structure breaks. The markup phase is definitively over, and gravity reclaims what greed lifted. Sellers take control.
Why This Matters
Knowing where you are in the cycle changes everything about how you trade.
If you're in TD (accumulation): You don't sell. You wait for IGN confirmation, then look for entries. The risk-reward is optimal here—you're buying what smart money is buying, at prices they're willing to pay.
If you're in WRN (distribution): You don't buy breakouts. That "strength" is a trap. Smart money is selling into it. You either exit longs, tighten stops, or start looking for short setups.
If you're in CAP (climax): You definitely don't buy. This is where retail gets destroyed—chasing the top, buying the euphoria, holding through the reversal. Pentarch shows you the ceiling before you hit it.
"Pentarch does not predict. Pentarch reveals. The cycle exists whether you see it or not."
The Four Layers
Pentarch doesn't just show signals. It integrates four analytical layers into one coherent view:
1. Regime Bars — The colored candles that show the current market state at a glance. Green means bullish regime. Red means bearish. You can see the trend without thinking.
2. Pilot Line — A dynamic trend line that acts as your guide through the cycle. When price is above it, bulls have control. When below, bears. Crosses are potential inflection points.
3. NanoFlow Crosses — Micro-signals that show momentum shifts within the larger cycle. These are the tremors before the earthquake—small moves that hint at what's building beneath the surface.
4. Event Signals — The TD, IGN, WRN, CAP, BDN labels themselves. The definitive phase markers that tell you exactly where you stand in the cycle.
Each layer can be toggled independently. Some pilots want everything visible. Others prefer minimal. Pentarch adapts to you.
Non-Repainting: The Critical Guarantee
Here's where most cycle indicators fail: they repaint.
Repainting means the indicator changes its historical signals after the fact. That "perfect" buy signal you see on the chart? It wasn't there when the candle was live. It appeared later, after the software knew what happened next. It's hindsight disguised as foresight.
Pentarch is 100% non-repainting. Audited. Verified. Every signal you see in history is exactly what appeared when that candle closed. We're so confident in this that we offer a $100 bounty if you can prove any repaint.
What you see is what you would have seen. No tricks. No lookahead bias. Just honest signals.
Reading The Sovereign
Here's how experienced pilots use Pentarch:
Step 1: Identify the current phase. Is the last major signal TD? IGN? WRN? CAP? BDN? This orients everything that follows.
Step 2: Check the regime bars. Are they green or red? Is this aligned with the phase signal, or is there conflict? Alignment increases conviction.
Step 3: Watch for NanoFlow crosses. These are early warnings of momentum shifts. A NanoFlow cross against the current regime often precedes a phase change.
Step 4: Wait for confirmation. Don't front-run the signals. A TD in progress isn't the same as a TD confirmed. Patience protects capital.
Step 5: Combine with The Seven. Pentarch tells you the phase. Volume Oracle confirms institutional participation. Janus Atlas shows the key levels. Plutus Flow validates the pressure. The system works together.
"The first lesson of the void: The cycle is eternal. Learn to read it, or be consumed by it."
The Sovereign's Lesson
Pentarch teaches one fundamental truth: the market moves in cycles, and those cycles are readable.
You don't need to predict the future. You need to recognize the present. You need to know whether you're standing at the beginning of a move or the end of one. Whether smart money is accumulating or distributing. Whether the trend has strength left or is running on fumes.
This is what The Sovereign provides. Not certainty—the market offers no certainty. But clarity. Structure. A map of where you are in the eternal cycle.
All other decisions flow from here.
I am the cycle. The cycle is me.
