Looking Into The Market’s Future With TradeSmith’s Seasonality Expert

By Mike Burnick

Good evening, Insiders! Mike Burnick here.

It’s been a volatile year for the stock market. Between semiconductor volatility, the impact of the U.S./Iran conflict on oil prices, and all the headlines in-between, it can be easy to feel as though the market is fully random – or worse, rigged.

Many investors have just thrown up their hands and stopped trying to make sense of it.

But here’s the thing – the market isn’t as random as it looks. Not even close. 

Strip away the headlines and all the background noise, though, and you’ll find that plenty of stocks, commodities, and other assets move according to predictable cycles that repeat year after year.

That’s the idea at the core of TradeSmith’s powerful Trade Cycles Seasonality tools – our breakthrough system that digs through decades of price history, running the numbers and isolating the patterns strong enough to trade into consistent profits. 

Our team of researchers and developers have been hard at work updating and upgrading the Trade Cycles system. And just last week, our CEO Keith Kaplan went live to host the Breakthrough 2026 event to unveil what they’ve been working on. 

As we continue to refine our seasonality tools, I wanted to learn more about how things have been going for those traders engaging with seasonality and cycles on the regular. That’s why I called up William McCanless – editor of Trade Cycles, and our very own seasonality expert – to get the scoop.

He walked me through the latest highlights, and gave me a crash course on how our Trade Cycles tools helped land winning trades on oil, silver, and more. Get all the details below:

It was great sitting down with William for this dive into seasonality – and if what he shared today has you intrigued, then there’s an upcoming market signal you won’t want to miss.

On Thurdsay, July 23, our system has flagged a major seasonality reset for the market – one that has historically triggered some of the highest-accuracy signals of the year.

That’s why if you haven’t caught Keith’s Breakthrough 2026 replay, I’d urge you to do so.
