here's a displaced noise version, endless possibilities between changing the various distortion noise settings. This one isn't quite as pointy but you could probably address that with the gradient before doubling up the Knots 10 times or so. This gradient is very even. Maybe even some bigness and contrast over the top of the gradient / distort, possibly even feathered in and out with a layer mask.
A fun thing for just a few minutes set up. File below
