This post will highlight the use of lines generated by angles. Not trend lines, as trend lines require two known points on a chart, where as angles require only one known point and a angle degree to draw a line. The question then becomes how is the angle degree determined.

There are two theories: Gann Angles and Ney Angles. Gann angles are a fixed set of degrees (see below) and these degrees are based loosely on astrology and the regular cycle of planets around the sun. Gann said price would move between these angles as the angles acted as like critical support and resistance.

Gann Ratios to Degrees 8x1: 7.50°, 4x1: 15.00°, 2x1: 26.25°, 1x1: 45.00°, 1x2: 63.75° , 1x4: 75.00°, 1x8: 82.50°

These angles are a pre designed fixed set approach.

Ney angles are calculated from a major low, to preceding lows and major high. The idea is that the future pattern of price is related to the prior pattern of price. Price history does not always marry exactly to the future but it sure can rhyme. Richard Ney calculated the angles and then studied the chart to find which angles dominate price action.

These angles are a per low liquid set approach.

Currently the US dollar chart has strength within it. Jeffer Snider gives a good reason.

If companies are in cost-cutting mode, and they obviously are, then that immediately puts a ceiling on the right side of the hoped-for “V” (arguing dead against the straight-line extrapolation) and then sets up the potential second wave of GFC2 and economic contraction. How? A weak labor market means instead of 90% of the 106 million work out their loan (or rent) situation before it goes too far, only 85% maybe even just 80% do! Heaven forbid something like 75%. Ninety percent would already be big trouble. Being unable to get close to everyone who has lost a job (or just lost income from wage or salary cuts plus those working less hours) back into their former groove is the real bogeyman lurking out there just over the visible time horizon. And that horizon is shrinking with every added missed payment due to a lost or shrunken paycheck. Less consumer spending means curtailed revenues, no pathway to restore profitability, and therefore even more, say it with me, cost cutting by businesses.

In short the FED can print money, but it can not print jobs and incomes. This matters as the US consumer is 70% of US GDP.

Fundamentals are important, and so is market timing, here at readtheticker.com we believe a combination of Gann Angles, Cycles, Wyckoff and Ney logic is the best way to secure better timing than most, after all these methods have been used successfully for 70+ years. To help you applying Richard Wyckoff and Richard Ney logic a wealth of knowledge is available via our RTT Plus membership.
