Using 38 years of EUR/USD data, this article explores how markets shift between recurring behavioral regimes such as compression, expansion, acceleration, exhaustion, and transition. Through phase-space reconstruction, volatility analysis, and nonlinear modeling, the study suggests that markets may behave less like random walks and more like adaptive systems with changing internal structures.
