Socionomics is a new theory of social causality that offers fresh insights into collective human behavior. Over twenty years of empirical research demonstrates that social actions are not causal to changes in social mood, but rather changes in social mood motivate changes in social action. Socionomics supports this research with the hypothesis that humans’ unconscious impulses to herd lead to the emergence of social mood trends, which in turn shape the tone and character of social action. This perspective applies across all realms of social activity, including economic, financial, political and cultural.

It seems there is a pattern..And we know this from centuries - Leonardo of Pisa discovered the famous Fibonacci Sequence in 12th Century.
Fibonacci sequences appear in biological settings, in two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, such as branching in trees, the fruitlets of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.
So how the story continues?
Ralph Nelson Elliott an accountant who developed the Elliott wave principle concept in the 1930s: he proposed that market prices unfold in specific patterns, which practitioners today call Elliott waves. Elliott argued that because humans are themselves rhythmical, their activities and decisions could be predicted in rhythms, too.
Maybe future will tell how correct this theory is..
