$SPX Gann Angles

UPDATED 2/17/10: $SPX

Here’s the linear version update today of the Gaan $SPX angle: http://bit.ly/ccRekc

When i first eyeballed the $SPX Weekly HLC bar chart on linear, I thought it looked like one of Gann’s 1x1 Price by Time candidates - the 45 degree Gann angle.  Gann theorized that these angles acted as support and then as resistance once support was broken.

$SPX - Weekly, HLC Linear

It was close, but the “Best Fit” line I’ve used in the chart above appears to be slightly less then the common 1x1 45 degree angle of a perfect square.  I used this angle by which to contain a 5 wave retracement if we were to see one.  This exercise is probably fruitless, but nonetheless, I found it interesting to think about.

I tried the same on the the $SPX - Weekly, HLC Log chart and found the fit not as good as linear.  What’s shown is just some ideas; probably some real bunk ones at that.  ;-)

Some basic Gann information.
