Legends of Market Cycles Analysis Convene at Cycles in the City '26

Foundation for the Study of Cycles

Cycles in the City '26: The next chapter in cycles analysis is underway.

In an intimate and highly interactive setting, some of the most respected names in market cycles analysis gathered at Cycles in the City ’26 to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore the forces shaping markets, economies, and society.

Market legends and leading researchers including Larry Williams, Michael Howell, John Bollinger, Peter Borish, Harry Dent, and many others shared decades of hard-won insight — offering timely perspectives on debt and liquidity cycles, market turning points, trading psychology, and long-term economic patterns.

FSC leaders and longtime contributors including Dr. Richard Smith, Lars von Thienen, Jake Bernstein, Ray Tomes, Andrew Pancholi, Bill Sarubbi, and Ron William also took part, adding depth to a program that bridged both markets and science.

But as many attendees noted, the conference was about more than the presentations. It was about the conversations — in the hallways, over meals, and in breakout sessions — where ideas were tested, relationships deepened, and a stronger cycles community took shape.

From the main stage to the dinner table, Cycles in the City ’26 was more than a conference. It was a signal: The work of cycles research is accelerating, and the next chapter is already underway.
