Gold Analysis With Fibonacci & W.D. Gann
The chart is key to this analysis.
In our last post on Gold we said this,
Use 2706.50 as the swing point for the week.
Below it, look for the area of 2578.40 and 2561.00, this is a major Gann square, 38.2% back to the 6/10/24 low and 23.6% back to the February low. Any setback that holds the area of the 2639.40 major Gann square and 23.6% back to the 6/10/24 low at 2626.00 keeps the trend extremely positive and new highs can quickly follow.

First here are a few rules and guidelines,
There are two methods we use at ONE44 to find support and resistance in the markets.
The first are major Gann squares, these are the yellow horizontal lines on the chart. On the chart you can see where the market turned multiple times at these levels.
The second is Fibonacci retracements and this is what most of this post will be about.
There are a few basic rules when using the Fibonacci retracements with the ONE44 rules and guidelines.
This is the short version.
A 38.2% level keeps the trend intact and new highs/lows should follow.
A 23.6% level shows the market is extremely strong, or weak.
A 61.8% level can cause wide swings and keep the market in a trading range.
A 78.6% level can send it 78.6% of where it just came from and even be the end or start of a Bull market.
We have done 43 videos on how to use the Fibonacci retracements with the ONE44 rules and guidelines. These Videos are worth watching even if it is not in the market you are trading, as the ONE44 rules and guidelines are the same for every market. You will also see why we believe the Fibonacci retracements are the underlying structure of ALL markets.
