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. - 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. And now observe when the price was delivered — it formed a strong reversal precisely at the TIME I calculated, 07:45. TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE 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 execution of 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. 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.” Educationby GannAstroTrader4436
THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG: Yesterday we wanted the pull back to go higher and said we would be looking for price to attempt the 2630-35 region with the extension of the move into the 2640-45 region before a potential RIP. Our Red boxes activated higher which we shared with the wider community giving a target of 2650 and our algo suggested 2660 so we continued to long. Now, we have support below at the 2645 region and below that 2640. We're too high to attempt long, so we'll look at the level above during the session to come and a potential short opportunity will hopefully present itself. Until then, a very decent opening on the markets. KOG’s Bias for the week: Bearish below 2640 with targets below 2610✅, 2604✅, 2596✅ and below that 2580 Bullish on break of 2640 with targets above 2655✅ and above that 2665❓ RED BOXES: Break above 2625 for 2630✅, 2635✅ and 2638✅ in extension of the move Break below 2613 for 2604✅ , 2597✅ , 2592 in extension of the move Please do support us by hitting the like button, leaving a comment, and giving us a follow.

Lingrid | GOLD Potential EXIT from the CONSOLIDATION ZoneOANDA:XAUUSD moved higher and is currently testing the previous week's high. It has broken out of the consolidation zone, and notably, the price has also broken and closed above a trendline that acted as a resistance zone for more than three weeks. I believe the price is targeting a retest of the weekly high at 2,665. However, I anticipate that the market may experience a pullback before continuing its upward trajectory. Looking left on the chart, we can see that the price has bounced off this support level several times in the past, reinforcing its significance. Therefore, it would be prudent to wait for confirmation of further movement. My goal is resistance zone around 2663 Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻Longby LingridUpdated 202083

Gold Price Analysis: Bullish Momentum Hinges on 2630 SupportOANDA:XAUUSD began the year on a positive note. After testing the 2600 support level several times before the New Year, the price rose and reached a high of 2666 on Friday. Currently, the price is undergoing a normal correction following the 600-pip rally and, at the time of writing, XAU/USD is testing support around 2635. To sustain its bullish momentum, the price needs to reverse upward and reclaim the 2650 level. If this occurs, bulls could anticipate further continuation toward the 2700 resistance zone, with interim resistance levels at 2666 and 2680. However, if the price falls below 2630, the 2600 level will once again be exposed, and Gold could remain range-bound. For now, I remain bullish as long as the 2630 support level holds.Longby Mihai_IacobUpdated 6629
The Unseen Edge: How Mastering Psychology Turned a L into a WThe Unseen Edge: How Mastering Psychology Turned Losses into Lifelong Success What if the secret to trading wasn’t just about charts, numbers, or strategies, but the battle happening inside your mind? From small-town dreams to navigating the fast-paced world of London’s financial markets, this is my journey of conquering fear, overcoming greed, and discovering that true trading success begins with mastering yourself. How Psychology Transformed My Trading Journey I never imagined I'd be where I am today. Growing up in a small town in Eastern Europe, trading was as foreign to me as the distant skyscrapers of New York. But life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths, and mine led me to the bustling financial hubs of London and, eventually, to a deep understanding of the psychology that underpins successful trading. From the moment I set foot in London, I was captivated by the energy of the city, especially its financial district. It was here that I first encountered the world of trading, and I was immediately intrigued. The idea of turning a modest sum of money into something significant was both exhilarating and daunting. But as I dove into the markets, I quickly learned that trading is not just about numbers and charts, it's about understanding the complex interplay of human emotions and behaviors. My early forays were marked by the same mistakes that many novice traders make: letting greed and fear dictate my decisions. The Early Days: A Tale of Greed and Fear My journey began with a naive optimism. I had read a few books on trading, watched some tutorials online, and believed I was ready to conquer the markets. With a small inheritance from my grandmother, I opened my first trading account and plunged in. At first, the markets were kind to me. I made some profitable trades, and the rush of adrenaline was intoxicating. Greed took over, and I began to think I had found the secret to easy wealth. I increased my position sizes, convinced that my streak of luck would never end. But, as they say, what goes up must come down. The market turned, and my profits vanished. Fear set in, and I made desperate decisions—cutting winners too soon and letting losers run. My account balance plummeted, and I was left with nothing but regret and a burning desire to regain what I had lost. The Turning Point: Embracing the Power of Psychology After that devastating loss, I could have quit. Many do. But something inside me refused to give up. I began to reflect on what had gone wrong. I realized that my emotions were driving my decisions, not logic or strategy. I was a prisoner of my own mind. Determined to turn my trading career around, I started educating myself—not just about the markets, but about myself. I read books on trading psychology, attended seminars, and sought out mentors who had walked the path I was now on. One of the most impactful lessons I learned was the importance of self-awareness. I began keeping a trading journal, not just to track my trades, but to document my emotions before, during, and after each decision. I noticed patterns: when I was overconfident, I took on too much risk; when I was fearful, I pulled out of trades too early. I realized that my emotions were my biggest enemy, and that I needed to develop a mental framework to keep them in check. I started practicing mindfulness and meditation, which helped me stay calm and focused during volatile market conditions. I also began to develop a trading plan and stuck to it, no matter how tempting it was to deviate. The Power of Mental Toughness As my understanding of psychology deepened, I began to see the markets in a new light. I realized that trading was not just about analyzing charts and indicators, but about understanding human behavior, my own and that of other market participants. I learned about concepts like loss aversion, confirmation bias, and herd mentality, and how these psychological traits could influence market movements. I began to recognize these biases in my own thinking and developed strategies to counteract them. One of the most significant breakthroughs for me was the development of mental toughness. Trading is a high-stress activity, and the ability to withstand pressure is crucial. I trained myself to stay disciplined, even in the face of adversity. I learned to accept losses as a natural part of the trading process and to focus on the long-term rather than getting bogged down by short-term fluctuations. A Journey of Lifelong Learning and Giving Back Today, I am a successful trader, but I don’t see myself as a master of the markets. Instead, I view trading as a lifelong learning process, where psychology is the key to sustained success. I continue to study psychology, not just in the context of trading, but in all areas of life. I understand that personal growth and self-improvement are integral to my trading career. I have also become a mentor to others, sharing my knowledge and experiences with those who are just starting out on their own trading journeys. My story is a testament to the power of psychology in trading. It is a reminder that the markets are not just a battle of strategies and techniques, but a battle of the mind. Those who understand this and work on their psychological edge are the ones who truly succeed. In the end, my journey from a small town in Eastern Europe to the financial markets of London and beyond is not just a story about trading; it’s a story about self-discovery, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. And it all started with a simple realization: the most important market to master is the one between your ears.Educationby BTM-LEO555
HelenP. I Gold will fall to trend line and then start to growHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. After looking at the chart, we can see how the price some time traded near the resistance level, which coincided with the resistance zone and then rebounded up to 2790 points. Then the price started to decline and soon broke the resistance level, making retets, and continued to fall next. After this, the price dropped to the trend line, breaking the support level as well, but later it turned around and rose higher than this level and broke it again. Later, Gold rose to the 2715 resistance level, after which made the correction and then some time traded in consolidation, after which quickly backed up to the resistance level. Next, XAUUSD dropped to the support zone, where it reached the trend line and then rebounded up at once, but soon it fell back to the trend line. A not long time ago Gold rebounded from the trend line and started to grow, therefore I expect that XAUUSD will decline to the trend line one more time and then continue to move up next. For this reason, I set my goal at 2680 points. If you like my analytics you may support me with your like/comment ❤️Longby FirstNameHelen3311
GOLD → Resistance retest before falling FX:XAUUSD is consolidating and deliberately approaching the resistance 2667. The upward market structure is focused on a breakout of the resistance. But the other question is whether the breakout will happen, because the sticks in the form of economic data have been in the wheels for a long time now Based on the market behavior, we can assume that before the possible fall there may be a liquidity grab and a retest of the key resistance, as buyers became more cautious after the discouraging data on inflation in China and hawkish Fed meeting minutes. To be honest, gold's current rise is not clear to me as there is no reason for it except for Trump's tariff plans towards multiple countries. Fundamental data is negative, there is no new news from hot spots, the dollar is rising, global inflation is rising, the Fed has become hawkish, there are so many nuances providing resistance to the metal. Resistance levels: 2667, 2675 Support levels: ascending line, 2656 Technically the structure is bullish and in the short term I am waiting for an attempt to break the resistance 2667. In this case a retest of the zones of interest 2675, channel resistance or 2692 from which a correction can be formed is possible. Regards R. Linda!Shortby RLindaUpdated 2246

Gold Outlook: Higher Lows Signal Continued Upside PotentialYesterday was a pretty volatile day for gold, with the price briefly dropping to 2615. However, bulls quickly regained control, pushing the price back above the 2635–2640 support zone and establishing a higher low in the broader trend. Currently, the price is stable above this key support level and is challenging interim resistance at 2650. A successful break above this resistance could open the door for a move toward 2680, with further upside targets at the significant 2700 level and the technical resistance at 2715. I remain bullish as long as yesterday's low at 2615 remains unbroken.Longby Mihai_Iacob1130
