Since in "cloud hands", your arms only move in one direction, the general term for circular movement arms should be called "分手(Fen Shou) - separate hands".
By moving your arms in circle with different directions, you can separate your opponent arms
1. both upward,
2. both downward,
3. left arm upward, right arm downward.
4. left arm downward, right arm upward.
For 1 and 2 Okay then I misunderstood a bit. After considering what you had just wrote, I would not be interested in that type of technique. the reasons being, It is impossible to coordinate Dantian powered arms that are simultaneously traveling in different directions.
It is in conflict with itself.
3 and 4 is okay. Silk reeling has both arms doing opposite circles there is basically no difference from cloud hands. But they are timed in such a way that the body can be used without being broken.
Edit .
Actually I do have techniques with both hands up or down that are powered by Dantian rotation. The timing is only slightly off which allows the Dantian to rotate freely and not be in conflict with either arm. So even 1 or 2 is also fine
