Top 10 Wow! Cycles In Financial Markets: September 2025

Our scanner has been busy uncovering stationary cycle gems in stocks, cryptocurrency, indices and more over the last year or so. Here we select 10 of the very best Wow! signals on offer at the moment.

For more on how we detect periodic features in financial markets please see Hacking the Uncertainty Principle: Time Frequency. You may also wish to read our guide on how to interpret charts on Sigma-L, below is the first part:

Understanding Charts on Sigma-L: Essentials

With that pre-amble out of the way, below are 10 of the most coherent, daily resolution signals in financial markets at the moment, presented in no particular order!

There are many more very good signals and it was a hard task to distill into just 10. I have tried to include instruments across a wide range of sectors to reflect the remarkable ubiquity of coherent cycles in all markets. All of these were detected by our cycle scanner in the first instance, which is available for intraday trading (live stream) and individual posted analysis in our discord. Membership of which can be obtained by contacting me on X (@tradinghurst) via DM.

The charts below all display a full time frequency analysis showing the detected dominant cycle within the bandwidth of the spectrogram.
