statistical analysis / trend repetition

060427 statistical analysis / trend repetition
Is there a direction can be pointed in to figure out the period of a the
fluctuation for a price range. i.e. where I "might" have amplitude, am
looking for something along lines of frequency of repetition (for
non-predetermined amplitude).

would guesse that some measure tool would take into account amplitude, if
picking maximum amplitude is desired, then greatest frequency, with the
greatest amplitude. - and - if you will, the reverse. the greatest
amplitude, with the greatest frequency.

Might this be a statistical analysis tool, or some combination?
(note: understand specialized amplitude formula, other than what have may
be necessary).

Thanks.

english description of an example, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
