Could Proxima Centauri be driving the 7-year stock market cycle?

In 2016, astronomers discovered a clear ~7-year stellar cycle in Proxima Centauri — the closest star to our Sun (4.24 light-years away).

Key point: its stellar spots are much denser and far stronger than sunspots on our Sun.

Activity lows: 2002 → 2009 → 2016 (next: 2023, 2030,...)
Activity highs: 2006 → 2013 (next: 2020, 2027,...)

These line up strikingly with several major stock-market cycle troughs.

The data sample is still limited, and any physical mechanism at that distance is hard to imagine... yet the timing is hard to ignore.

Coincidence?




16-Week Cycle in Markets

The ~16-week cycle (≈112 calendar days / ~80 trading days) shows up clearly in many instruments, including SPX.

What’s driving it?

Many cycle analysts look to the solar system for stable periodicities.

Mercury’s synodic period is 115.9 days — strikingly close.

Is there a real link?

And if so, what’s the mechanism — direct, or indirect via subtle modulation of solar plasma/activity?

More questions than answers at this point.
