Even though these failures are few and far between, during these legs the price often makes a significant move in the desired direction in the majority of these cases. The yellow cycle lengths marked in the examples below denote cycle lengths where that test failed. For instance, in the case of an “up” cycle length, we demand that the price at the very end of the cycle leg should be higher than price at the very beginning. We have a very, if not overly, strict test for these cycle lengths. The cycle turns do not promise to mark the exact high or low of the period, and are less than a guarantee that the price will not make a move against the trend direction during that cycle period. After the cycle turns down, the opposite should be true. After the cycle turns up, there should be higher-highs and higher-lows after the cycle turn, as well as a significant up move in price past the price at the time the cycle began. The green cycle lengths in the examples below are ‘up’ cycle legs, and the red denote ‘down’ legs. Up always follows down and down always follows up. Their method is harder to discover, but their application is more consistent and precise.Īlternating cycles alternate in legs that go up-down-up-down, etc. Cycles of Progression stem from the Law of Vibration. Gann’s Period Cycle on the SP 500 intraday.īreaking down types of cycles further, within alternating cycles there are two distinct types: Cycles of Repetition (COR), and Cycles of Progression.
Follow links below for examples of all OTHER types of cycles taught in our “ W. This page was created to explain and showcase our technique for projecting these alternating cycles in advance using Gann’s Law Of Vibration. Gann’s “up & down” alternating cycles from “ The Tunnel Thru The Air” get the most following as the “unicorns” or Holy Grails of cycles. Next, there were the ‘trend machine,’ cycles, or cycles in trend from Gann’s ‘Arcana.’ Finally, W. First, he used ‘magic,’ or static cycles, that repeated in measured moves of time, volume, and price. Gann used several types of cycles in his trading and analysis.
