Bond yields and stock prices

I found this useful pattern between bond yields and stock prices. It can be recognized over a period of 6-12 months.

  1. Rising bond yields are followed by a peak in the stock market.
  2. A peak in the stock market is followed by lower bond yields.
  3. Lower bond yields are followed by higher stock prices.
  4. Higher stock prices are followed by higher bond yields.
  5. Go to 1.

Right now yields are rising. We are in step 1. above. They will continue to rise until the market shows a visible decline.

Dear Dr. Dagnino,
In this cycle, I see that the stock prices peak during step 1. When will they start their decline and continue to decline?
I am confused because step 3 again shows that the lower bond yields are followed by higher stock prices.
