Gann Angles: The Geometry of Market Movement

Most traders view charts in two dimensions — price and time. But WD Gann introduced a revolutionary idea: what if time and price are equal and move at consistent angles? This idea gave birth to one of the most effective forecasting tools in market history — Gann Angles.

What Are Gann Angles?

Gann Angles are diagonal lines drawn from significant highs or lows on a chart. The most important among them is the 1x1 angle — where one unit of price moves for one unit of time. Gann believed that when price moves at this perfect 45° angle, the market is in balance.

Other angles include:

• 2x1 (price rising faster than time)

• 1x2 (time moving faster than price)

• 4x1, 1x4, and more.

These angles act as dynamic support and resistance levels, forecasting trend changes well before traditional indicators catch up.

Why Are Gann Angles So Powerful?

• They work independently of timeframes — whether daily or weekly.

• They define the trend — staying above 1x1 means bullish, below means bearish.

• They help spot breakouts, reversals, and retracements more accurately.

Real-World Use: Gann Angles in Action

Imagine a stock rising steadily and respecting a 1x1 angle from its bottom. Suddenly, the price breaks below the 1x1 line — this may signal a trend reversal, even if RSI or MACD still show bullish signs.

Gann’s approach goes beyond traditional tools — it's about precision and timing, not just reaction.
