Gold Coast's last year of price cycles
Gold Coast prices jumped 5 times in the 365 days to Mon 9 Nov, and a cycle ran a median of 30 days from one jump to the next, the middle half from 9 to 72 days. The last 4 completed cycles rose a median 26.4 c/L from the low to the peak in about 10 days, then fell 7.3 c/L to the next low. Prices stayed within 2 c/L of the low for a median 4 days.
| Low | Peak | Rise (c/L) | Cycle length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200.89 Sept | 209.511 Sept | +8.7 | 5 days |
A cycle starts when the city average jumps at least 8 c/L above its low of the three days before, and at least 4 c/L more than the capitals' median moved, so a market-wide rise is not a cycle; it runs to the next such jump. Prices are the city daily average on those days.
What usually happens after a peak
Past 4 cyclesSource: FuelRadar (fuelradar.com.au)
6 days after their peak, the last 4 Gold Coast cycles since Mar 2026 sat a median 6.8 c/L below the peak, the middle half from 7.1 below to 2.3 above.
