Seasonality Charts and Reports – August 2026

What Is Seasonality?

In general, seasonality is some repeatable tendency of a financial instrument to move in relation to a particular influencing factor. That factor could be the time of year, the year of a decade, changes in interest rates, inflation, energy prices, etc. We focus on stock price action and seasonal cycles derived from the time of the calendar year.

Seasonal cycles do not cause prices to move a certain way. They simply reflect a measure of tendency. Ongoing price action is influenced by many factors, only some of which occur on a regular, repeated basis. Those factors that regularly cause a stock price to move a certain way at a particular time of the year may or may not be known, but their seasonal influence will show up in the seasonal indicators and can be qualified by several techniques to measure the breadth and consistency of a stock’s seasonal pattern.

The trading process typically begins with the prelude of one or more signals from setup criteria, and then the trade is made when the market moves sufficiently in the anticipated direction to set off a trigger indicator. After the entry trade, “monitoring” indicators are used to exit the trade.
