This is the SPY (S&P 500 ETF) for the week of Jan 9th, 2013. On a full lot, that’s almost $9,000 in one swing move.

Uranus conjunct with Earth and the Sun.

The two vertical lines represent two planetary events in the week of April 4th, 2015. Let’s look at some examples outside of cryptocurrencies (because cryptocurrencies are still so new).

Every instrument is sensitive to certain planets.

Planets that form conjunctions with the Earth and Sun on a time cycle DO cause large moves.

Planets themselves do nothing but looks pretty in a telescope, if you have a telescope.

Regarding planets and cycles and formations, etc, let’s just go over three things regarding planets. In a lot of ways, Gann was probably more logical than anyone else who has studied the market and its mechanics. Where some think Gann is a bit nutty, Gann would probably regard those who dismiss as illogical and shortsighted. Gann also believed in a God that created structure and order in everything.

Afterall, a technical chart is just a visual representation of the psychology of the participants. Another thing he knew was that the moon and the planets have a strong effect on human behavior. Gann knew time was the cause of price action. It’s like the guy was a genius up until he started talking crazy about planets, astrology and the Bible. He was light years ahead of anyone else and still is.” Then when you discuss Gann’s application of numerology in the Bible and the use of celestial movements (planets, think astrology) people regard Gann as a lunatic. I’ve heard people say, “Oh, Gann, that man was a genius, I use his methods all the time. It’s a part of his analysis that gets disregarded and dismissed as silly.

It’s a part of his analysis where, for whatever reason, people look at Gann’s work in amazement at one moment and then conclude that he was some kind of insane, mad hatter, wack job in a suit. However, there is one part of this Founding Father of Technical Analysis that has been misunderstood. His ability and discovery of applying time, price and momentum into a perfectly squared chart have shown consistent results as well as abnormally high positive expectancy wins. His application of Geometry into forecasting and identifying human behavior at certain price levels is nothing short of astonishing. Gann’s approach to the market understand how logical and precise his methods are.

This post is about to get all sorts of… weird. Prepare thy tin-foil hats and late night circa 2003 1-800 fortune telling commercials.
