How Your Brain Tricks You Into Making Bad Trading Decisions!!!Hello everyone! Hope you’re doing well. Today, we’re diving into a crucial topic—how your brain can work against you in trading if it’s not trained properly. Many traders think they’re making logical decisions, but subconscious biases and emotions often take control.
Our brain operates in two modes: intuitive thinking (fast, emotional, automatic) and deliberative thinking (slow, logical, analytical). In trading, intuition can lead to impulsive mistakes—chasing price moves, hesitating on good setups, or exiting too early out of fear.
To improve, traders must shift from intuition to deliberation by following structured plans, back testing strategies, and practicing emotional discipline. In this discussion, we’ll explore how to overcome these mental biases and make smarter trading decisions. Let’s get started!
Most traders face common mistakes—exiting winners too early, letting profits turn into losses, holding onto bad trades, or making impulsive decisions. Why? Because our brain isn’t wired for trading. In everyday life, instincts help us, but in trading, they often lead to fear, greed, and denial.
Your Brain Operates in Two Modes
Just like in daily life, where we sometimes act on reflex and other times think things through carefully, our trading mind also operates in two distinct modes: intuitive thinking and deliberative thinking. Intuitive thinking is fast, automatic, and effortless. It helps us make quick decisions, like braking suddenly when a car stops in front of us. However, in trading, this rapid decision-making often leads to impulsive actions driven by emotions like fear and greed. This is why many traders enter or exit trades without a solid plan, reacting to market movements instead of following a strategy.
On the other hand, deliberative thinking is slow, effortful, and analytical. This is the part of the brain that carefully weighs options, follows rules, and makes logical decisions—like when solving a complex math problem or planning a trading strategy.
Our intuitive brain is designed to make quick and automatic decisions with minimal effort. This is the part of the brain that helps us react instantly to situations—like catching a falling object or braking suddenly while driving. It relies on patterns, emotions, and past experiences to make snap judgments. In everyday life, this ability is incredibly useful, saving us time and energy. However, when it comes to trading, this fast-thinking system can often lead us into trouble.
For example, a trader might see the market rising rapidly and instinctively think, “This can’t go any higher! I should short it now.” This reaction feels obvious in the moment, but it lacks deeper analysis. The market could continue rising, trapping the trader in a losing position. Because intuitive thinking is based on gut feelings rather than structured reasoning, it often leads to impulsive and emotionally driven trading decisions. In the next slides, we’ll explore how to counterbalance this instinct with deliberative thinking—the slow, logical approach that leads to better trading decisions.
Unlike intuitive thinking, which reacts quickly and emotionally, deliberative thinking is slow, effortful, and analytical. It requires conscious thought, logical reasoning, and careful consideration before making a decision. This is the part of the brain that helps traders analyze probabilities, assess risks, and make well-informed choices rather than acting on impulse. While it takes more time and effort, it leads to better trading outcomes because decisions are based on data and strategy rather than emotions.
For example, instead of immediately reacting to a fast-moving market, a deliberative trader might pause and think, “Let me check the higher time frame before deciding.” This approach helps traders avoid unnecessary risks and false signals by ensuring that every trade is well-planned. The most successful traders operate primarily in this mode, following a structured process that includes technical analysis, risk management, and reviewing past trades. In the next slides, we’ll discuss how to train our brains to rely more on deliberative thinking and reduce emotional reactions in trading.
Take a moment to answer these two questions:
A bat and a ball cost ₹150 in total. The bat costs ₹120 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
If 5 machines take 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would 100 machines take to make 100 widgets?
At first glance, your brain might immediately jump to an answer. If you thought ₹30 for the first question or 100 minutes for the second, you’re relying on intuitive thinking. These answers feel right but are actually incorrect. The correct answers are ₹15 for the ball (since the bat costs ₹135) and 5 minutes for the second question (since each machine’s rate of production stays the same).
This exercise shows how intuitive thinking can mislead us when dealing with numbers and logic-based problems. The same happens in trading—snap decisions based on gut feelings often lead to costly mistakes. To improve as traders, we need to slow down, double-check our reasoning, and shift into deliberative thinking. In the next slides, we’ll explore how to strengthen this skill and apply it to trading decisions.
Did Your Intuition Trick You?
Let’s review the answers:
Answer 1: The ball costs ₹15, not ₹30! If the ball were ₹30, the bat would be ₹150 (₹120 more), making the total ₹180, which is incorrect. The correct way to solve it is by setting up an equation:
Let the ball cost x.
The bat costs x + 120.
So, x + (x + 120) = 150 → 2x + 120 = 150 → 2x = 30 → x = 15.
Answer 2: The correct answer is 5 minutes, not 100 minutes! Since 5 machines take 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, each machine produces 1 widget in 5 minutes. If we increase the number of machines to 100, each still takes 5 minutes to produce a widget, so 100 machines will still take 5 minutes to make 100 widgets.
Most people get these answers wrong because their intuitive brain jumps to conclusions without thinking through the logic. This is exactly how traders make impulsive mistakes—by relying on gut feelings instead of slowing down to analyze the situation properly. The key lesson here is that we must train ourselves to pause, question our first reaction, and shift into deliberative thinking when making trading decisions.
Why is Intuitive Thinking Dangerous in Trading?
Intuitive thinking is great for quick decisions in everyday life, like catching a falling object or reacting to danger. However, in trading, this fast-thinking system becomes a problem because it takes shortcuts, ignores probabilities, and acts on emotions rather than logic. When traders rely on intuition, they often react impulsively to price movements, overestimate their ability to predict the market, and make decisions based on fear or greed rather than strategy.
For example, a trader might see a market rapidly rising and instinctively think, “This can’t go any higher—I should short it!” without checking key levels or trends. Or, after a few losses, they may feel the urge to take revenge trades, hoping to recover quickly. These emotional reactions lead to poor risk management and inconsistent results. To succeed in trading, we must recognize these intuitive traps and learn to replace them with a structured, logical approach.
Let’s look at some common mistakes traders make due to intuitive thinking:
Shorting just because the market has risen too much: A trader might see a sharp price increase and feel like it’s too high to continue, instinctively thinking, “This can’t go any higher; it’s due for a drop.” However, the market doesn’t always follow logical patterns, and this emotional reaction can lead to premature trades that result in losses.
Buying just because the market is falling: Similarly, traders may feel compelled to buy when the market falls too much, thinking, “It’s too low to go any further.” This belief, without proper analysis, can lead to buying into a downtrend or even catching a falling knife, resulting in significant losses.
Taking tips from social media without analysis: Many traders fall into the trap of acting on market tips or rumors they see on social media or trading forums. These decisions are often made without proper research, relying purely on gut feelings or herd mentality.
If you've ever taken a trade just because it "felt right" without fully analyzing the situation, chances are your intuitive brain was in control. These emotional decisions are natural, but they often lead to costly mistakes. The key to improving your trading is learning to slow down, analyze the situation carefully, and avoid rushing into trades based on impulse.
Why Deliberative Thinking Matters
Deliberative thinking is the key to becoming a successful trader because it encourages us to assess probabilities, reduce impulsive trades, and ensure well-thought-out decisions. Instead of acting on gut feelings, traders who use deliberative thinking take the time to analyze market conditions, trends, and risks. By calculating probabilities, reviewing different scenarios, and sticking to a solid trading plan, they can make more rational decisions that are grounded in logic, not emotions.
This slow, methodical approach may seem counterintuitive in a fast-paced market, but it’s what separates successful traders from those who constantly chase the market. The best traders don’t act on impulse; they analyze, think critically, and then trade. This approach leads to consistency in trading, as decisions are based on a systematic process rather than emotional reactions. By training your brain to operate in this way, you’ll improve your decision-making and reduce the likelihood of impulsive, emotional mistakes.
Let’s look at a real-world example of how intuitive thinking can trap traders:
The market rallies from 26,800 to 28,800, and as the price starts to pull back, lower lows form on the hourly chart. Many traders, relying on the short-term price action, decide to short the market, thinking the rally is over. However, when you zoom out and check the daily chart, you notice that there’s no clear reversal signal—it's still showing an overall uptrend.
Despite this, many traders act impulsively based on what they see on the smaller time frames, only to watch the market rally another 500 points, trapping those who shorted the market.
This is exactly how intuitive traders get trapped—by making decisions based on the lower time frames without considering the bigger picture. Deliberative thinking would involve checking higher time frames, assessing the trend, and waiting for a proper confirmation before entering a trade. By training yourself to think this way, you’ll avoid getting caught in market traps like this one.
One of the best strategies for avoiding impulsive mistakes is to always check daily or weekly charts before taking a trade. While it’s tempting to act on short-term movements, smart traders zoom out to get a clearer picture of the market's overall trend. By analyzing higher time frames, you can see if the market is truly reversing or if it's simply a temporary pullback within a larger trend.
It’s important to look for confirmation of trends before acting. If the higher time frames show an uptrend, but the lower time frames show a temporary dip, it may be wise to wait for confirmation before making a trade. Don’t rush based on short-term movements; give yourself time to assess the bigger picture and make decisions based on a well-thought-out analysis rather than emotional reactions.
Remember, successful traders understand that the higher time frame offers critical insights into market direction. By incorporating this approach, you’ll make more informed, consistent trading decisions and avoid getting trapped by short-term fluctuations.
Shifting from intuitive to deliberative trading takes practice, but with consistent effort, you can train your mind to make better decisions. Here’s how you can start:
Review past trades – Were they intuitive or deliberate? Reflecting on your previous trades helps you identify whether your decisions were based on impulse or careful analysis. Understanding the reasoning behind your past trades can help you improve future ones.
Ask ‘Why?’ before every trade: Before entering any position, take a moment to ask yourself, “Why am I taking this trade?” This forces you to think critically and ensures that your decision is based on analysis rather than emotions.
Use probabilities, not gut feelings: Deliberative thinking is based on probability, so focus on statistical analysis and historical patterns rather than relying on your gut. This might include checking your risk-to-reward ratio or waiting for confirmation signals from multiple indicators.
Follow a structured trading plan: A solid trading plan with clearly defined rules and guidelines will help you make logical, consistent decisions. When you follow a plan, you’re less likely to make emotional, impulsive trades.
By implementing these steps, you’ll gradually train your mind to operate more deliberately, leading to more disciplined and profitable trading. Remember, trading is a skill that improves with practice, so take the time to develop your deliberative thinking.
A great historical example of intuitive thinking gone wrong is the Dot-Com Bubble of the late 1990s. During this time, many companies added “.com” to their names, capitalizing on the internet boom. Investors rushed in blindly, often buying shares of these companies based purely on the excitement of the market and the fear of missing out (FOMO).
However, many of these companies had no real business model or clear path to profitability. Investors, driven by emotional excitement and herd mentality, ignored the fundamentals—such as profitability, cash flow, and market demand. As a result, the market eventually collapsed, wiping out traders who didn’t take the time to analyze the companies' real value and business models.
This is a perfect example of intuitive investors acting on emotions and hype without real analysis—and losing big. To avoid this trap, it’s important to apply deliberative thinking, focusing on thorough research, fundamental analysis, and careful assessment of market conditions. This case study shows the importance of not jumping into investments based on emotional impulses but making decisions grounded in solid analysis.
To become a successful trader, you must shift from relying on intuitive thinking to embracing deliberative thinking. Here’s how you can start making that transition:
Avoid easy, obvious trades: If a trade feels too easy or too obvious, it’s often a trap. The market is complex, and quick decisions based on gut feelings usually lead to impulsive mistakes. Take the time to think through your trades, even if they seem like a “sure thing.”
Develop patience and discipline: Patience is key in trading. Instead of reacting immediately to market moves, wait for the right setups and confirmations. Discipline ensures you follow your plan and don’t get swept up in the moment.
Learn to think in probabilities: Trading is about probabilities, not certainty. Start thinking in terms of risk and reward, and assess the likelihood of different outcomes before entering a trade. This shift in mindset will help you make more rational, logical decisions.
Be skeptical of ‘obvious’ trade setups: If a trade seems too perfect or too easy, it’s worth questioning. Often, the most obvious setups are the ones that lead to losses. Always do your due diligence and question your assumptions before pulling the trigger.
By making these changes, you’ll develop a trading mindset that focuses on thoughtful analysis, patience, and probability, rather than emotional, impulsive decisions. The goal is to think deeper, be more strategic, and avoid rushing into trades based on intuition.
Now that we’ve covered the key principles, it’s time to take action.
Start by reviewing your past trades. This is crucial for identifying whether your decisions were based on intuition or deliberate thinking. By reflecting on your trades, you can spot patterns and areas where you may have made impulsive decisions.
Next, identify your intuitive mistakes. Think about trades where you acted quickly or without full analysis. Were you influenced by emotions like fear or greed? Understanding these mistakes helps you avoid repeating them in the future.
Finally, commit to making deliberate decisions going forward. Before you place your next trade, take a step back. Analyze the market, assess probabilities, and follow your trading plan. This shift to a more thoughtful, disciplined approach is what will help you become a more consistent and successful trader.
Your next trade is an opportunity to put these principles into practice. Let’s focus on making smarter, more deliberate decisions from here on out!

Gann Astro Trading: Psychology & Patience in Intraday Gold TradeIn this trading idea, I will provide a detailed breakdown of the live trade I executed on Monday, January 12, 2024, on gold, using advanced mathematical modules of Gann Astro. This trade was entered precisely at the market low, as I had calculated the timing of the low formation three hours in advance.
While the trade setup was accurate, it took over 7 hours for the price to reach the target. In this breakdown, I will explain the complete trade analysis with supporting data, charts, and visuals. Additionally, I will dive into the psychological aspects of holding a trade for an extended period, maintaining patience, and interpreting price action as a delivery algorithm. I'll also discuss observing liquidity buildup in real-time and the mindset required to stay composed while navigating market movements.
Significant points of this Gann Astro trade are as below
- Detailed breakdown of the live gold trade executed on Monday, January 12, 2024, using advanced Gann Astro mathematical modules.
- Trade entry was made precisely at the market low, calculated 3 hours in advance.
- Explanation of the trade setup with supporting data, charts, and visuals.
- Insights into the psychology of holding trades for an extended period (this trade took over 7 hours to reach the target).
- Understanding price action as a price delivery algorithm and observing liquidity buildup in real-time.
- Discussion on maintaining patience and composure during prolonged trades.
As shown in the charts, the reversal time for gold was calculated 3 hours in advance using Gann Astro Trading principles and mathematical modules. The reversal occurred at 8:00 AM New York time, as observed on the 90-minute chart, where I anticipated the price to form a low.
Now, you might wonder why the 90-minute timeframe was chosen. This ties into the universal concept that everything vibrates at a specific frequency, including markets, aligning with the significance of 3-6-9, as extensively discussed by Gann.
Knowing the exact reversal time eliminates uncertainty in trading, which directly enhances trading psychology. This clarity allows for patience and composure, avoiding impulsive actions. The ability to stay calm and wait for a setup to align with your analysis is an art mastered by only a few traders.
Most traders operate out of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), often taking uncertain trades that fall under the category of gambling. True success in trading lies in patience, discipline, and the ability to observe the charts without acting prematurely. These traits separate professional traders from the majority who struggle to maintain consistency.
BUY ENTRY IN GOLD LONG TRADE WITH GANN ASTRO
After waiting for 3 hours, the market reached my calculated time and price level, aligning perfectly. As Gann emphasized, when time and price are equal, the market must reverse. With this principle, I executed a trade on gold using Gann Astro techniques in intraday trading. This is where the true challenge of trading begins—not in entering the trade, but in maintaining patience until the price either hits your stop loss or your profit target. Many traders fail at this critical stage due to a lack of discipline and risk management, trading without stop loss or proper planning. To trade successfully, one must approach the market with precision, patience, and a sound strategy.
Key Points:
1. Stop Loss is Essential:
- Trading without a stop loss is equivalent to gambling with hard-earned money.
- A solid risk management strategy is non-negotiable for long-term success.
2. Risk Management Rules:
- Always limit risk to 1% of your account per trade.
- Never over-leverage or expose yourself to unnecessary risk.
3. Learn to Stay Patient:
- Patience is a core skill in trading—waiting for the market to hit your levels and then staying disciplined in the trade.
- Avoid impulsive decisions driven by fear or greed.
4. Avoid Common Pitfalls:
- Many traders lose their entire capital within weeks due to poor risk management and lack of preparation.
- Focus on learning proper risk management before entering live markets.
By incorporating these principles, you can significantly improve your chances of success and build a sustainable trading career.
Patience in trading is a skill that requires not just discipline but also a deep understanding of how to manage emotions while observing the market's algorithmic price delivery in real-time. One of the most effective ways to stay focused is by minimizing the psychological triggers that impact your decision-making. Colours like red and green can strongly influence your mood and perspective during trading, which is why I switched to black-and-white candles when I started trading back in 2019. This change eliminates the emotional bias caused by colour psychology. Additionally, hiding your profit and loss figures while trading is another powerful way to stay emotionally neutral. Seeing how much you are making or losing can trigger fear of loss or overconfidence, which may lead to impulsive decisions. Removing these distractions helps you maintain clarity and focus during your trading session.
Key Points:
1. Eliminate Colour Psychology:
- Switch to black-and-white candles to avoid emotional biases caused by red and green colours.
- This reduces the impact of visual triggers on your mood and decision-making.
2. Hide Profit and Loss Figures:
- Turn off the display of your profit and loss numbers on the trading platform.
- This prevents emotional reactions like fear of loss or overconfidence from influencing your trades.
3. Stay Focused on Price Action:
- Concentrate solely on the market's price delivery without distractions.
- Train yourself to analyse the market algorithm objectively without emotional interference.
4. Build a Calm Trading Environment:
- Create a setup that minimizes external triggers and focuses on clear decision-making.
- Practice mindfulness and emotional control to remain patient and disciplined.
By implementing these steps, you can enhance your trading psychology and improve your ability to read the market with greater clarity and precision.
Once you master the foundational skills of managing emotions and maintaining patience, the real challenge begins—understanding the price delivery algorithms and their underlying intentions. The market operates on an algorithmic framework, where price delivery is designed to build liquidity and then seek it. To identify this process, you need to observe where liquidity is being left in real-time, which is often around old highs and lows. These areas act as targets for the algorithm as it seeks to capture liquidity. In the chart, I have marked the live formation of liquidity in the market, illustrating how the algorithm builds and targets these zones. By understanding this process, you gain an edge in predicting the market's next moves.
Keeping a detailed record of every trade, you take is crucial for long-term success in trading. Use software tools to record live trades and store the data systematically. This practice allows you to review your past performance, analyse what worked, and identify areas for improvement. Journaling is an essential habit in trading, as it not only tracks your progress but also accelerates your learning curve. The most successful traders consistently review their past trades, assess their strategies, and refine their approach to stay ahead in the game.
It’s been 6 hours since I entered the trade. I was patient and have mastered the art of trading psychology. With Gann Trading astro techniques and years of trading experience backed by data, I’ve honed my mindset for consistent success. For new traders, here are 10 ways to improve your trading psychology:
1. Cultivate Emotional Discipline.
Mastering trading psychology begins with controlling emotions like fear and greed. Recognize emotional triggers and respond with logic, not impulsivity.
2. Develop a Trading Plan.
A well-structured trading plan helps eliminate emotional decision-making. Include entry, exit, and risk management strategies to stay disciplined.
3. Practice Risk Management.
Never risk more than a small percentage of your capital on a single trade. Knowing your maximum loss tolerance minimizes stress and preserves mental clarity.
4. Keep a Trading Journal.
Record every trade, including rationale, outcomes, and emotions. Regularly review the journal to identify patterns and areas for improvement.
5. Focus on Process Over Outcome.
Prioritize consistent execution of your strategy rather than obsessing over profits. This shift in mindset builds confidence and long-term success.
6. Learn to Accept Losses.
Losses are a natural part of trading. Accept them as learning experiences rather than personal failures to maintain a positive mindset.
7. Practice Visualization and Mental Rehearsal.
Visualize different market scenarios and how you will respond. Mental rehearsal prepares you for stressful situations and improves decision-making.
8. Stay Patient and Avoid Overtrading.
Wait for high-probability setups that align with your strategy. Overtrading often stems from impatience and leads to unnecessary mistakes.
9. Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle.
Take care of your physical and mental health. Regular exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate rest are essential for maintaining focus and emotional stability.
10. Seek Continuous Education.
Stay updated with market trends, refine your strategies, and learn from experienced traders. An informed trader is a confident and less emotionally reactive trader.
Once you follow all these steps, the market rewards you with good trading profits. Just like in this chart, I entered at the low and exited at the top by practicing patience and executing trades only with a Gann astro and mathematical edge. This disciplined approach ensures consistent results and builds the foundation for long-term trading success.
1. Gann's Principle: Time is More Important than Price.
Understanding the timing of market movements is crucial, as time often dictates the outcome of trades more than price levels.
2. Everything in the Universe Vibrates on Specific Frequencies.
Market trends and patterns are influenced by universal vibrations, making it essential to align trading strategies with these natural cycles.
Predict market HIGH/LOW with Gann Astro Trading Calculated Gold’s Reversal 6 Hours Before It Happened Using Gann Astro Techniques
OANDA:XAUUSD
On December 24, I calculated a reversal in gold 6 hours prior to its occurrence, utilizing Gann Astro techniques and mathematical models. This analysis allowed me to identify key turning points in the market based on time rather than price.
Many traders focus solely on price, but Gann’s principles emphasize that time (Y-axis) is the dominant factor driving market movements. For this calculation, I incorporated the Ascendant as a critical element in my intraday trading approach, demonstrating the significance of aligning market analysis with time functions.
Key Observation:
The market reversed at exactly 10:30 AM New York Time (UTC-5), aligning perfectly with the pre-determined time calculated through Gann Astro techniques.
On the 45-minute timeframe for gold, the chart confirms the reversal occurred precisely at the calculated time. This underscores the reliability of time-based analysis over traditional methods that often focus on price alone.
Why Time is More Important than Price:
1. Time is constant and unaffected by external manipulation.
2. Highs and lows in the market are governed by fixed time cycles.
3. Price, being variable, is a secondary function delivered based on time.
By switching to the 15-minute timeframe, the precision of these calculations becomes even more evident. This highlights how time-based analysis reveals market behaviour that might otherwise appear random.
Gann Intraday Techniques in Action:
The Gann Astro methodology integrates planetary positions and mathematical principles to forecast turning points in the market. The principle "time is more important than price" is consistently validated, showing that market reversals are governed by time cycles rather than unpredictable price movements.
On December 26, after the market reopened, the price fulfilled its movement to key liquidity zones identified earlier. This demonstrates how time cycles dictate the market's behaviour, with price aligning naturally to these pre-determined movements.
Advanced Insights:
- The Y-axis represents time, the immutable factor.
- The X-axis represents price, which is secondary and can be influenced.
Most traders fail in the market because they only focus on PRICE. However, according to W.D. Gann's principles, TIME is MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE. Big institutions can manipulate price movements, but TIME is a fixed entity that cannot be altered.
The attached graph illustrates a fundamental yet overlooked concept:
1. Y-Axis → TIME
2. X-Axis → PRICE
In reality, every high or low in the market is pre-determined by TIME, not price. Gann's Astro methods use planetary positions, ascendants, and advanced mathematical calculations to predict EXACTLY when the next HIGH or LOW will form in intraday markets.
Key Insights:
1. TIME as the Guiding Factor:
- The market operates like a clock, where each move happens ON TIME.

Below, I’ve outlined the step-by-step analysis of my LIVE trade on GOLD using the Gann Astro principles and advanced mathematical calculations. This is a testament to how TIME, not just price, drives market movements, allowing you to predict turning points with exceptional accuracy.
The chart clearly demonstrates how I calculated the price reversal a solid 4-5 hours in advance using the Gann Intraday Astro technique. The exact time of reversal was determined to be 6:45, purely based on TIME. Watch closely as I executed the trade relying solely on this precise calculation. This is further proof that TIME is the real driver, while PRICE remains an illusion manipulated by the market.
LIVE TRADE ENETRY - TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE
The real truth lies in TIME, not PRICE—because TIME is fixed, and PRICE is just an illusion manipulated by the market.
NOW let's understand how markets turn on TIME -
.
By applying Gann-inspired mathematical and astro models, I pinpointed key times when market highs and lows are likely to occur. The principle of "TIME = PRICE" suggests that market reversals happen when time and price align. While price can be manipulated, time remains constant, making it a more reliable tool for accurate market forecasting.
GANN INTRADAY TRADING - "The Hidden Truth: Why Gann's TIME Over PRICE Wins in Trading"
In this chart, you can see the market reversing exactly at 21:05, a TIME I calculated in advance using Gann's astro intraday techniques. The method applied here is Squaring the Range—a concept rooted in understanding the range as the time zone where the price remains confined between two major HIGHs and LOWs.
Using advanced mathematical principles in Gann astro analysis, I was able to determine the precise future reversal point. This allows me to approach my trading desk only at the calculated time and execute trades with confidence. This highlights why TIME outweighs PRICE in importance—while prices can be manipulated, TIME remains a constant and reliable indicator for market reversals.
"GANN INTRADAY TRADING - Exposing Market Algorithms: Gann's TIME Secrets Revealed"
In earlier times, markets were primarily influenced by market makers, but now, price delivery is controlled by algorithms designed to enhance liquidity. With the massive influx of participants in today’s market, these algorithms play a critical role in maintaining liquidity flow. Despite these changes, the core principle remains intact: the market still moves based on mass psychology.
Here’s another example showcasing a bullish scenario using Gann techniques.
In this bullish setup, the focus is on identifying key time cycles when the price delivery algorithm aligns with Gann's mathematical principles. By leveraging time-based calculations, I pinpointed the exact moment when the market began expanding upward, indicating a strong bullish movement.
Conclusion:
Understanding and applying time-based principles provide traders with a disciplined, research-driven approach to market analysis. By focusing on time rather than price, one can uncover the natural rhythm of the markets and align their strategies accordingly.
Time is the constant that governs all market movements, as W.D. Gann emphasized: “Time is more important than price.”
Why Is Time More Important Than Price, as Explained by Gann?In the trading world, most market participants focus solely on price while overlooking the critical element that governs market movements: time. Time is fixed, immutable, and unaffected by external manipulation, unlike price, which can be influenced by institutions and market forces. By understanding the concept that "time is fixed, price is an illusion," traders can unlock a method to predict intraday highs and lows with unparalleled precision. This is the essence of the Gann Astro methodology, which reveals the market's natural rhythm and turning points based on time.
The attached graph illustrates a fundamental yet overlooked concept:
Y-Axis → TIME
X-Axis → PRICE
In reality, every high or low in the market is pre-determined by TIME, not price. Gann's Astro methods use planetary positions, ascendants, and advanced mathematical calculations to predict EXACTLY when the next HIGH or LOW will form in intraday markets.
Key Insights:
1. TIME as the Guiding Factor:
- The market operates like a clock, where each move happens ON TIME.
- Highs and lows form according to fixed celestial cycles, not random price moves.
2. Price Delivery Algorithm:
- Price follows a delivery system that respects TIME.
- Without understanding TIME, traders become gamblers.
3. Intraday Gann Astro Example:
- With calculations based on ascendant planetary alignments, TIME of specific turning points in intraday markets can be predicted.
- Example from the chart:
- At (2,1), a TIME-driven HIGH forms.
- At (4,-1), a LOW forms based on pre-determined calculations.
4. What Gann Astro Does Differently:
- Combines planetary positions and mathematics to forecast turning points.
- Helps traders trade WITH CONFIDENCE instead of guessing.
- Predict highs/lows hours before they happen.
Now here is the Gann Intraday Trade Example.
You can clearly see on the chart that the TIME for the price reversal was already calculated using Gann Astro principles and advanced mathematics. I precisely identified the reversal time at 07:45, and you can verify this on the software screen. This highlights the power of time-based analysis, where price movements align perfectly with pre-determined time calculations, offering a clear edge in the market.
And now observe when the price was delivered — it formed a strong reversal precisely at the TIME I calculated, 07:45. Is this just a coincidence? Absolutely not. This is the real way the market algorithm delivers price. TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE, and this proves the unmatched accuracy of time-based analysis over conventional price-focused methods.
Why Traders Lose Without TIME Knowledge:
1. Traders rely on price patterns, indicators, and technical setups, ignoring the foundational concept of TIME.
2. TIME is constant and unchangeable, while price can be manipulated.
3. Without mastering TIME, traders are reactive instead of predictive.
Here’s another LIVE trade I successfully completed this week. The trade was precisely calculated 5 hours in advance, demonstrating the power of Gann Intraday Astro Trading.
Below, I’ve outlined the step-by-step analysis of my LIVE trade on GOLD using the Gann Astro principles and advanced mathematical calculations. This is a testament to how TIME, not just price, drives market movements, allowing you to predict turning points with exceptional accuracy.

This is further proof that TIME is the real driver, while PRICE remains an illusion manipulated by the market.
LIVE TRADE ENTRY - TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE
The real truth lies in TIME, not PRICE—because TIME is fixed, and PRICE is just an illusion manipulated by the market.
The power of time-based analysis lies in its ability to expose market manipulation and predict market moves before they happen. Time, unlike price, is the key to decoding the market clock and identifying the exact moments when highs and lows form. With a deeper understanding of this principle, traders can remove guesswork, anticipate market movements, and align themselves with the forces that govern price delivery algorithms. The result is a disciplined, research-backed approach that replaces gambling behavior with a structured trading edge, offering a new perspective on intraday market success.
Most traders fail in the market because they only focus on PRICE. However, according to W.D. Gann's principles, TIME is MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE. Big institutions can manipulate price movements, but TIME is a fixed entity that cannot be altered.
GANN TRADING LESSON: TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE GANN TRADING LESSON: TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE – W.D. GANN’S METHODOLOGY - The principles of W.D. Gann's trading methodology continue to intrigue and challenge traders worldwide.
At the core of Gann's approach lies the harmonious relationship between price and time, encapsulated in his concept of "squaring."
This principle emphasizes balancing movements in price with corresponding movements in time, thus uncovering the rhythmic and periodic nature of the markets.
Understanding Time Balance in Trading
Gann emphasized the significance of time balance, which involves aligning the duration of a market movement with its magnitude.
This balance is critical because markets, according to Gann, inherently strive to return to a state of harmony, even after experiencing disharmonious phases.
Recognizing these patterns enables traders to anticipate turning points and identify optimal trading opportunities.
The Concept of the Initial Impulse
Gann’s methodology suggests that every market movement begins with an “initial impulse,” which sets the stage for subsequent trends.
This impulse, whether periodic or rhythmic, forms the foundation for future market behavior. Periodic movements repeat after fixed intervals, while rhythmic movements grow proportionally to the initial impulse.
Understanding and marking these impulses on price charts is a vital step in applying Gann’s techniques.
The Series 144 and Squaring Principles
Gann frequently referenced the significance of numerical series, particularly THE 144 SERIES . He argued that price movements often align with values derived from this sequence.
For instance, the duration of an initial impulse may correspond to one value in the series, while subsequent reactions adhere to multiples or subdivisions of this value.
Squaring, a cornerstone of Gann’s theory, involves matching price ranges with equivalent time periods. This can be applied in various forms:
Squaring the price range: Balancing the maximum and minimum price range over a specific time period.
Squaring the minimum price: Equating the duration of a move with its lowest price point.
Squaring the maximum price: Aligning the time elapsed with the highest price point.
Periodic and Rhythmic Movements
According to Gann, markets exhibit both periodic and rhythmic behaviors. Periodic movements repeat after a set number of time units, while rhythmic movements expand or contract in known proportions.
Identifying these characteristics is crucial for marking trends accurately and predicting future price action.
Key Considerations in Applying Gann’s Method
Inharmonious Market Behavior: Gann acknowledged that markets often deviate from ideal structures but emphasized that they ultimately revert to harmony. Recognizing these deviations and their eventual corrections is central to mastering his method.
Critical Points of Strength: Gann’s theory highlights the importance of key levels, such as 50% retracements, as points where price and time converge.
Templates and Extreme Values: Gann’s approach involves overlaying templates based on extreme highs and lows for specific time units (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) to track market behavior accurately.
The Law of Vibration
Central to Gann’s teachings is the “Law of Vibration,” which posits that all market movements follow universal laws of motion and rhythm.
By studying the past and present, traders can predict future price action with remarkable precision. This principle underpins the repetitive nature of market trends and cycles, reinforcing Gann’s assertion that history repeats itself.
Gann’s Legacy
Gann’s work, often regarded as esoteric, challenges traders to elevate their understanding of market dynamics. His insights into the interplay of time and price continue to inspire new generations of traders to uncover the “Creator’s plan” in financial markets.
While applying his methods requires patience and meticulous study, the rewards are profound for those who master the art of balance and harmony in trading.
Conclusion
By embracing the principles of time balance, the initial impulse, numerical series, and the Law of Vibration, traders can uncover patterns and cycles that enhance their market predictions.
Although Gann’s techniques require dedication and a willingness to delve into intricate concepts, they offer profound insights for those who persevere. His legacy endures as a testament to the potential of blending analytical precision with universal principles, making his methods a timeless guide for mastering market rhythms.

How I Execute Trades Using Gann’s Square of 9Here in this example, I have used the Square of 9 method to predict a potential market reversal and executions. W.D. Gann, a legendary trader and analyst, is renowned for his pioneering techniques in financial markets.
Among his tools, the Square of 9 stands out as a remarkable system to predict market turning points with precision. In this blog, we’ll explore the fundamentals of the Square of 9, how it works, and how we can use it to improve timing and decision-making in the markets.
What is the Square of 9?
The Square of 9 is a spiral-based numerical grid where numbers are arranged in a square, starting from 1 at the center and spiraling outward. Each number on the grid has angular relationships with other numbers, which Gann believed could forecast significant market movements.
For instance:
Numbers at the same angles (e.g., 39, 67, 105, 150) share a relationship that can signify potential turning points in the market.
By marking these numbers and aligning them with trading days, we can identify key dates for potential price reversals.
Core Assumptions in Price Dynamics
Gann’s methods rely on two key assumptions:
Repetition in Price and Time: Price tends to follow specific patterns or laws over defined intervals of time.
Structured Alternation: The up-and-down movements of price are not random; they alternate in a structured, periodic manner.
These assumptions form the foundation for analyzing price action through tools like the Square of 9.
How to Use the Square of 9
Step 1: Identify Key Market Extremes
Begin by locating significant highs or lows on a price chart. These extremums act as the starting point for your calculations.
Step 2: Calculate Calendar Days
Count the number of calendar days between:
Two highs,
Two lows, or
A high and a low.
Step 3: Locate the Number on the Square of 9
Find the calculated number (e.g., 39) on the Square of 9. Then, mark other numbers that lie on the same angle or corner, such as 67, 105, or 150.
Step 4: Predict Turning Points
Mark these numbers as potential future dates. On these dates, observe the market closely for signs of reversals or continuations.
Practical Example
Now let's Analyse GOLD. In this example we will take a daily candle that is making an all time high. From that high we will count the very next extreme high or low. How many trading days it takes to reach that price point and make a reversal? - 40 Trading days.
Now we will look for the number 40 in Gann square of 9 table. and the very next probable execution or reversal we will get after 70 days according to the table.
We see sharp price movement after 70th day and then at 180th day where we can place our order and execute with other confirmations.
Benefits of Using the Square of 9
Enhanced Timing: Pinpoint potential reversal dates, helping traders refine entry and exit strategies.
Objective Forecasting: Use a structured approach to reduce emotional decision-making.
Improved Accuracy: Combine the Square of 9 with other technical tools for more reliable predictions.
Conclusion
The Square of 9 is a powerful tool for traders who seek to integrate time and price analysis into their strategies. By understanding its mechanics and applying its principles, you can anticipate market turns with greater confidence.
As with any trading tool, practice and observation are essential. Study past market movements using the Square of 9 to develop your intuition and skill. With dedication, you’ll unlock the potential of this fascinating method and take your trading to the next level.
HOW I CALCULATED GOLD'S LOW WITH UNMATCHED ACCURACY USING TIME ? What you're seeing on the chart is far from the typical retail trading methods—those that rely on indicators, support and resistance, or supply and demand. The approach you're being introduced to uses advanced mathematics and Gann Astro principles to calculate the upcoming highs and lows in the market , providing an edge that most retail traders will never experience.
This method isn’t something you’ll find on other social media platforms where people post generic, formulaic content. What you're seeing here is how the most sophisticated traders—like interbank traders—operate. They don’t rely on retail strategies; they use something much more refined and accurate. Sadly, about 95% of retail traders end up losing money because they chase trends based on outdated methods. It’s time to break free from that cycle.
I've spent over five years developing this method using Gann's principles, which include the planetary movements that govern market cycles. Gann himself used two primary methods: one for swing trades and one for intraday. The intraday calculations, in particular, are much more complex. But after years of hard work, I cracked the code.
For swing trades, Gann used planetary movements, particularly those of slower-moving planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These planets move slowly, providing insight into longer-term price swings. On the other hand, the fastest-moving "planet" in astro-trading is the Moon, which completes a full cycle in about 28 days and can signal price reversals every 2-3 weeks. However, for intraday trading, we need something faster. That’s where the Ascendant comes in.
On the 2nd of December, at 13:15, I accurately predicted a key low point using this method. To do this, I used a reference point from a past low on December 1st at 01:00, and through precise calculations (with the help of software that streamlines manual calculations), I was able to forecast the upcoming low. As expected, the market reversed right at that point, and the price never fell past it.
Understanding the Time-Related Prediction for December 2nd Trade:
On December 2nd, at 13:15, I accurately predicted a key low point in the market using a method rooted in Gann Astro and advanced mathematics. Here’s how I calculated it:
Past Reference Point: To forecast the low for December 2nd, I first identified a crucial reference point from the past—the low that occurred on December 1st at 01:00 . This point served as the base from which the market’s price action shifted dramatically, altering its algorithmic delivery.
Time Precision and Software Aid: Using this reference point, I applied precise calculations, aided by software that makes manual computation more efficient. This allowed me to predict the upcoming low on December 2nd with remarkable accuracy. The forecasted low for December 2nd was calculated in terms of both time and price.
Market Reversal Confirmation: As expected, the market reversed at the exact point I predicted, never falling past it. This was not a random guess—it was based on the intersection of time and price, using advanced techniques that few retail traders have access to.
This is just a glimpse into how powerful Gann Astro and mathematics can be. By understanding how time and price align, you can predict highs and lows with unparalleled accuracy. Whether for intraday or swing trading, you’ll know exactly when the market is going to turn—down to the minute or the day. This method gives you a precision that retail traders simply can’t match.
This method is incredibly powerful because it combines both time and price predictions—something most traders miss. By learning how to use these methods, you can predict market highs and lows with near-perfect timing, which is key for both intraday and swing trades.
If you want to learn how to apply this method in your own trading, D M me for a one-on-one session.
How to calculate upcoming HIGH/LOW in market with time ?OANDA:XAUUSD
This Gann Astro Trading Lesson demonstrates one of the most revolutionary trading concepts introduced by W.D. Gann: "When Time and Price Become Equal, the Market Must Reverse." Through the integration of advanced astrological principles, mathematical precision, and deep market understanding, this method highlights the supremacy of time over price in market forecasting.
What Happened in the Chart?
1. Identification of the Low (27th November, 20:35)
Using a combination of Gann’s astrological tools and mathematical calculations, a significant market low was identified. The Ascendant (ASC) value, 123.09, became a key parameter to project the forthcoming reversal point. This low acted as the starting point for determining when time would align with price.
2. Projection of the Market High (28th November, 7:05 AM)
By applying precise calculations, the upcoming high was forecasted with remarkable accuracy. The market began to consolidate at this point, respecting the time projection and halting further upward movement.
3. The Role of New York Open (28th November, 9:30 AM)
The market did not break the predicted high before 9:30 AM. This delay was attributed to the presence of high-frequency trading algorithms (HFTs) that dominate price action during key market opens. As anticipated, once the New York market opened, the price reversed sharply, demonstrating the dominance of time cycles over simple price observations.
Why the Market Reversed?
Time and Price Equality:
The calculated time of 7:05 AM aligned perfectly with the earlier low, signaling a reversal point in the market. This alignment of time and price creates a "vibrational balance," a critical moment when market energy resets.
Algorithmic Impact at Market Open:
The consolidation near the projected high was not random—it reflected the preparation of institutional algorithms that execute trades in large volumes at the New York open. As anticipated, once the market opened, price reversed sharply, driven by these high-frequency trades.
Why TIME Is Superior to PRICE in Trading
Markets Follow Time Cycles:
Most retail traders focus on price patterns, trend lines, or indicators, but fail to recognize that price moves in accordance with time cycles. Price is merely a result, while time acts as the governing factor behind market reversals, trends, and consolidations.
Retail Traders’ Common Mistake:
Without an understanding of time cycles, retail traders view markets as random or speculative. They often chase price, buy during rallies, and sell during declines—moves that are counter to natural time-based market rhythms.
Gann’s Teachings on Time:
Gann taught that markets are ruled by universal laws of vibration, heavily influenced by planetary movements and time-based intervals. When time becomes equal to price, markets undergo a significant shift. Failing to understand this makes retail traders vulnerable to losses.
Lessons for Traders
Time Is the Key to Consistency:
Understanding time-based market mechanics removes randomness from trading. It enables traders to predict movements with high precision, often down to the minute, as shown in this example.
Avoid the Pitfalls of Price Chasing:
Retail traders lose money because they rely solely on price-based strategies. Without incorporating time, they are reacting rather than anticipating, leading to poor decision-making and losses.
Mastering Gann’s Principles:
W.D. Gann’s work proves that markets operate under natural laws. By mastering time cycles, one can forecast market highs and lows well in advance, achieving a level of precision that transforms trading from speculation to science.
If you're tired of inconsistent results, losing money, and treating the market like a gamble, it’s time to unlock the ultimate trading methodology. This is your opportunity to dive into the most advanced, precise trading techniques that blend W.D. Gann's principles, astrology, and advanced mathematics to decode the market’s hidden structure. You will learn to calculate time and price equality for any market, forecast highs and lows down to the last minute, and identify market reversals with unmatched precision.
This approach proves that the market is not random—it follows a disciplined, predictable order rooted in time, making it the ultimate edge over traditional trading strategies. By mastering these techniques, you will break free from the common retail trader mistakes and gain the ability to anticipate market moves with accuracy, long before they occur.
This is not gambling or speculation—it is the science of understanding market dynamics through time’s supreme influence over price.

GANN TRADING LESSON - TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICETIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE: The Astrological Perspective Behind Gann’s Methodology
When William Delbert Gann emphasized that TIME is more important than PRICE, he was tapping into something much deeper than conventional market analysis. While many traders focus on price movements alone, Gann understood that the market operates in astronomical cycles, where TIME governs much more than just price fluctuations. Astrology—particularly the positions and movements of celestial bodies—played a pivotal role in shaping his market predictions.
In this lesson, I’ll explain how TIME, as influenced by astrology, is crucial to understanding market movements. These cycles, when understood properly, offer predictive power far beyond just analysing price levels.
Astrological Influence on Time:
1. Planetary Cycles and Market Behavior:
Gann didn’t just rely on conventional time intervals or geometric patterns. He utilized planetary alignments and aspects (the angular relationship between planets) to time his market entries and exits. Astrology is a tool that provides insights into the cycles of energy that influence all aspects of life, including financial markets.
- Saturn’s Influence: Saturn governs structure, discipline, and long-term cycles. Gann recognized Saturn’s influence in the market's periodic retracements and consolidations. Understanding the Saturn cycle (approximately 29.5 years) can offer insight into long-term market trends and reversals.
- Jupiter’s Influence: Jupiter represents expansion and growth. Its cycles (around 12 years) highlight moments of market optimism and bullish phases. A conjunction or favorable aspect of Jupiter can signal market rallies.
- Mars and Venus: The positions and aspects of Mars (action, aggression) and Venus (value, attraction) provide insights into the market’s volatility and emotional impulses. These planetary movements help explain rapid market changes, both bullish and bearish.
2.Timing the Market with Planetary Transits:
A planetary transit occurs when a planet moves over significant points in a chart, influencing market behavior. Gann was able to calculate how these planetary transits affected market cycles, and he applied this knowledge to forecast market turning points.
- Mercury Retrograde: Gann was particularly attentive to Mercury retrograde periods, as these can disrupt market communication and create confusion. Traders often see slowdowns or reversals during these phases. Gann applied Mercury’s influence to identify market retracements and reversals.
- Lunar Cycles: The Moon, with its 28-day cycle, affects emotions and market sentiment. Gann considered the lunar phases—new moons and full moons—as critical turning points in the market. The waxing and waning of the Moon corresponds to periods of growth and decline.
3. Astrological Timing in Market Cycles:
One of the most powerful tools in Gann’s approach was understanding the relationship between planetary positions and market movements. By using astrological charts, Gann identified perfect alignments of planets that coincided with price action on the market. For example, a planetary conjunction could signal the start of a new market cycle, while a planetary opposition might indicate a peak or bottom.
- Planetary Aspects: Key aspects between planets, such as conjunctions, squares, and oppositions, signal moments of market tension or harmony. These moments coincide with sharp price movements, either breakouts or reversals.
- The 360-Degree Cycle: Gann's deep study of planetary harmonics showed that the 360-degree cycle used in astrology is mirrored in the market. He mapped out specific points in the market based on the planetary cycles and their corresponding aspects to price levels.
Astrology in Practice: How Time and Celestial Events Shape Market Movements:
1. Astrological Alignment with Market Events:
- I look for planetary alignments that occur near key market highs and lows. These alignments give me an exact timing window for potential market changes. For example, Mars square Pluto often brings about periods of intense volatility, which could signal a sharp price movement in either direction.
2. Using Lunar Phases for Predictive Power:
- During new moons or full moons, I adjust my timing strategies. These phases, when aligned with market cycles, help me anticipate turning points. I make trade decisions based on these phases, particularly when a new moon or full moon coincides with significant planetary aspects.
3. Timing Market Entries Based on Planetary Cycles:
- I don’t focus solely on price levels but rather on timing. For example, during a Jupiter-Saturn aspect, I may take a longer-term position as this phase suggests growth after a period of contraction. Conversely, when planets like Saturn or Pluto are forming harsh angles, I may expect a correction or a trend reversal.
4. Calculating Time Cycles Based on Astrology:
- The math and geometry behind Gann’s teachings are intricately linked to the celestial bodies. Using astrological charts, I can pinpoint exact time frames when market changes are most likely to happen. The orbital periods of the planets are key to this predictive analysis.
Conclusion: Integrating Time and Astrology for Precision in Trading:
By understanding time cycles through an astrological lens, I’ve unlocked a deeper level of market prediction. The key takeaway is that the market doesn’t move randomly — it’s influenced by celestial cycles, and timing these cycles accurately can provide you with a predictive edge. Gann’s methods of combining advanced mathematics, sacred geometry, and astrology allow us to predict market highs, lows, and turning points with precision.
Once you master the art of reading astrological cycles and apply them to your trading, you can move from being a reactive trader to a predictive one, capturing market movements before they happen. This is where the true power of TIME comes into play, as it becomes the ultimate tool for successful trading.
BTC 6 MONTH OUTLOOK- PRE BULL MARKETThis is a composite of quite a few systems, but the screen here has been reduced for ease of reading. The economic sentiment right now is not favorable so a pullback of BTC is very likely. This is not signaling a weakness in crypto, but just the overall uncertainty in investors in ANY market. Look for the BTC pullback end of March early April. Securities and Banking are seeing difficult times. The safest market may be Crypto (ie Bitcoin). It doesn't mean Bitcoin won't have it struggles (It will), but its promise is to safeguard those who hold it from the ever present uncertainty of the BANKING sector which is a whole different topic.
On this chart you will find secondary support/resistance lines here (dashed blue lines). Hard resistance and supports (sold blue lines). The yellow line is a projection that I am seeing for BTC over the next 6-8 months. I do think once we exist the Gann Box that we will be in a full blown BTC Bull market. For now some intermediate tops and bottoms will be seen. Not in a bull market yet, but soon so stack up! I am! Buy Low- Sell High

Sacred Trading
In light of the recent Mercury retrograde cycle, we have observed significant market movements that align with key zones, suggesting potential reversal points.
Let me clarify: while I acknowledge the historical correlations between planetary movements and events, I do not base my trading decisions on astrology, nor do I consider myself an astrologer. This analysis is simply a brief exploration of astrotrading over a two-day period, aimed at sharing my observations and experiences.
Over the weekend, I studied various planetary constellations and noted that certain alignments seem to influence market reversals. The key constellations are:
Sextiles (60°): Often indicate three peak patterns.
Trines (120°): Suggest rectangular trendline patterns, typically flatter than 45°.
Conjunctions (0°): May signal immediate reversals depending on the planets involved.
Squares (90°): Typically align with 45° angle trendlines within a square.
Oppositions (180°): Indicate the start of new planetary cycles.
The most significant planetary influences include:
Full Moon and New Moon phases
Mercury transits and conjunctions
Venus/Moon angles
Mars/Moon alignments, which can cause market volatility, irritability (notably in the current cycle)
Occasionally, Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus can also have a reversing influence.
This exploration is a homage to Mercury, the messenger of god, and an attempt to share insights with you guys.
Complete analysis of TON💎Hello dear friends, I hope you're all doing well.
As you can see on the chart, after nearly two years of sideways movement, TON has broken resistance, experienced a pullback, and grown by 70%.
Now, where might TON's growth go from here?
Given the highly professional team and the billion users of Telegram, the mid-term target for this coin is likely $20.
What's the reason behind this?
There's a pattern in the market that has repeated in some well-known coins.
1. Matic:
Almost two years of sideways movement and a 47,000% adventure.
After breaking the resistance and pullback, it hit the $2.7 target in 109 days.
2. CHZ: Sideways for 17 months and a 25,000% movement.
After breaking the resistance and pullback, it hit the 87-cent target in 56 days.
In my opinion, TON has built such a strong ecosystem that its own significant movement will begin sooner or later. For example, the creation of the NOTCOIN project has introduced millions of people to TON's capabilities, and sooner or later, it will be listed on exchanges as Telegram's meme coin.
Time analysis:
The first significant timeframe is from April 15th to April 29th.
We are likely to witness the listing of NOTCOIN on exchanges during this period.
The second significant timeframe is from September 12th to September 24th.
This period may involve potential downturns.
The only reason that can stop a 25,000% wave is the high number of tokens (5 billion).
I'd be happy to share your opinion with me. Your likes, follows, and comments give me energy.
Here is intraday swing forecast for GOLD, heading towards 2300As we expected in 2023, we know any limited supply commodities will lead to an All Time High caused by FEDs monetary policy
When we combine with Gann Method on how he predict everything, we know it will really happens for sure.
Now we can see that GOLD and BTC will reach All Time High as soon as possible
Watch the time and date we have mentioned in the analysis, time will control as swing reversal while price will control market behavior. While yellow line in Gann Fan act as fair value slope, so price will be back on that yellow line before it change its direction
Gold could make 1948 as its peak. Buy in the dip!Hi, everyone!
Long time no see..
as i expected there's no severe recession ahead until 2026,
just a few banks and tech startup companies collapsed but not causing a crazy global economic fraud like in 2008...
this time is much more like 1999-2003 dotcom bubble, yes economic activity might be a little bit struggling, but not as insane as 1929 or 2008
I think gold could make its third top (2072) or double top (1948) before its going down to 1000s.
According to my Gann Angle and Gann Level - Fibonacci Combo, at least gold will reach 1948 in just a few days. Best advice i could give to you was BUY IN THE DIP!
Gold still pretty strong because it is still running at average of 2x1 angle or 200pips/daily bar.
Trend changes will only occur when it reaches horizontal SnR (fibo was the most accurate, so far..) and 1x1 angle or 100pips/daily bar (the yellow diagonal line)
I did a color coding on the gann angle to make a fast recognition, strong angle as light green to dark green -- mid level as yellow -- weak level as light red to dark red
Also on the fib/gann level combo, i color coded 61.8 and 38.2 with yellow as an important level that mostly cause a reversal
So, lets break it down..
17/21 March 2023 (Most Important) - I expect the first 1948 top will happen at this day before the news release
22 March 2023 (Most Important) - A 5 days down after the fed's hiking their dollar interest rates, i expect a bearish bias bottoming at 1893 or 1909 or 1917. But sometimes people getting greedy and this could inverted.
27 March 2023 (Important) - I expect Gold has reach 1948.2 level -- but since its weekly stochastic didn't crossover yet, i expect a continuation with a slight reaccumulation at around that area. But because fed rate hikes, i don't know what's gonna happen next
28 March 2023 - Some 2 days of bullish continuation
That's my current expectation for future weeks ahead, i don't give any responsibility in terms of capital loss or etc cuz i could be wrong
Trade safety, and Cheers!
